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.

"Nice black tea with a hint of apricot - good for when you want some tea but not the caffeine."

"Like most of the decafs that I've tried here, this one had a chemical aftertaste not present in the regular version. For flavor get the regular apricot tea instead; if you want decaf, the naturally low-caffeine teas are a better choice."

"Much better than I was expecting from a decaf. I am a tea drinker that recently became very caffiene sensetive, totally out of the blue. I can't drink any of my favorites anymore, and have been trying to find other options. This is quite nice. The apricot is pretty strong - you can definitely tell it's there. The tea itself is stronger than I expected, which is good, as I was expecting something pretty weak. It has a nice flavor. Reminds me a bit of a ceylon (Hey, maybe it is ceylon..). As reported by a few other people, it does have an odd mouth feel, as if it had just a hint of gelatin in it or something, but it's not that bad once you decide to ignore it. Definitely recommend if you are avoiding caffiene."

"It smelled very fruity when i opened the tin. and the apricot flavor filled the room as i was brewing it. Though i put about 5g tea leaves for 500g water and brewed for 5 min, as the tin said, it had a very bitter taste to it. I didn't know if i over brewed it. I would try to brew it little less time next time. "

"I can definitely smell the apricot. Very fruity if you like that. I just add a bit of sugar to sweeten it up a little."

"Very mild apricot flavor, good but not great. I am eager to see what this one is like iced. "
