Description

Imagine being whisked away to an bright, fresh apricot orchard... That's the sensation you'll get with your first sip of our delectable Apricot tea. Combining the sweet flavor of ripe summer apricots with the rich taste of Ceylon black tea, you can experience it year-round.

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.

"This tea is better than I expected. I will probably like it better in the summer iced, but its really good hot too."

"This is a good novelty tea, but not something I would drink daily. The apricot flavor is very intense, and it tastes great with a drizzle of honey. I'll probably make it iced when summer hits... It has a nectar-like quality that will be fabulous in the summertime."

"This apricot wasn't as sweet as I'd been hoping for, so next time I'm going to try pairing it with vanilla. Still, the apricot was a much more true apricot taste than your general grocery store tea bag. "

"I loved the apricot tea; and I'm not a major fruit-tea person. The aroma is fantastic, not too perfumey or synthetic the way other brands apricot are; and it's not a weak tea the way some fruit teas are. It blends well with the Ceylon black tea & is sweet even without sugar. If you prefer sweeter teas like the chocolates & hazelnuts, but were looking for a fruit tea to change it up a bit, this is an excellent introduction. I would advise keeping on an eye on the length you steep, it can get a little bitter if it sits too long; ditto on the water temp- keep it a little lower than boiling. "
