I really enjoyed this one! It was a gift from my roommate, so thank you!

The dried fruits in this blend were intensely aromatic, just opening the bag resulted in an explosion of aroma, mostly tropical fruit with hints of citrus, the smell strongly suggests sweetness, and there's a hint of spice in the aroma. The ingredients show papaya, pineapple, and citrus, which makes sense.

The brewed cup smells deeper and more complex, almost hinting at notes of wood and spice against the fruity backdrop. Flavor is sweet and sour. This has been sweetened indirectly, through the candied fruit pieces, and it's plenty sweet for me, I would not want to add anything to it. The sourness just about at the limit as what I could handle: I certainly wouldn't it to become any more sour.

This also makes an exceptional iced tea. It is very fruity, yet has a very different character from fruit juice. Unlike most blends, it doesn't taste too sour iced, and is intensely aromatic.

I reliably like Teavana's fruit blends, I think it is the company's strength and I think they stand out among other companies' offerings, and this one was no exception. Not cheap, but with the quality to back up the price.
