Description

Decaf Apricot tea with sweet apricots. Decaffeinated using a natural CO-2 process, that allows leaves to retain their delicate shape and flavor.

Story

In Latin apricot means "precious," a label earned because it ripens earlier than most summer fruits. A relative of the peach, the apricot was originally found growing wild on the mountain slopes of China more than 4,000 years ago. Apricots progressively made their way through the Persian Empire to the Mediterranean where they were fondly adopted. Spanish explorers introduced the apricot to the New World, and they were planted in the gardens of Spanish missions all over California. The first recorded major production of apricots in America was in 1792 south of San Francisco.

"I'm not a huge fan of fruit teas, but this one was really lovely. It had a beautifully natural perfume; sweet and mellow; it lends itself well to the ceylon & has a bright top note that requires little sweetener, if any to bring out the flavour. Despite my general aversion to fruit teas as hot teas (I prefer them iced), I'm converted, if only for this. Would absolutley reccomend. I only like to brew my teas a short time; I'll generally add more tea than I will time, b/c i abhor the bitterness that longer steep time seems to bring about~ this particular tea seemed to lend it's self tot hat rule, so I found it's best brewed at 2-3 minutes tops, with a heavier than usual amount of leaves used to bring out the flavour. Near but never actually boiling temp."

"I like this tea. Nothing special, but it has a nice apricot flavor to it. Not too strong."
