Thanks to my friend Sparky for providing this one. I didn't know what to expect of this tea. Unlike many American fruit-flavored teas, this tea is very subtle; the fruitiness is not overdone and blends well with the base tea. The base tea is quite weak for a Ceylon, but is also smooth. The fruitiness has a little depth to it...more than the fleeting, ethereal fruitiness of some teas made with natural flavor extracts.
I found the brewing instructions to be way off. I brewed for 4 minutes, in a single small cup, and it was still weak. The teabag doesn't seem to allow diffusion very well.
Overall, this was very good for a tea bag, and is definitely a notch above the mainstream American brands, but it's still fannings in a tea bag and tastes accordingly. Reasonably priced.
