Apricot Green

Description

Green tea from China with the delicate flavors of apricots. Makes a light and refreshing drink that's popular both hot and iced. If you are new to green tea, this lightly flavored tea may be a good place to start.

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.

"We were trying to find a good mango green to replace another brand that we liked and had run out of. Knowing we liked Adagio teas, I came to the website to see about their mango green. While reading reviews, I saw that the apricot green was higher ranked than the mango. I decided to give it a try - and we're all glad I did. The flavor is smooth, with natural apricot taste. Very good."

"This is my all time favorite green tea ! It is fantastic hot or cold. It has a fresh flavor that is not over powering. The apricot flavor does not out shine the green tea, together the flavors are a nice balance."

"This is one of my favorite flavors especially for iced tea. It is fruity but not overwhleming and blends very well with the qualities of green tea (IMO apricot and black tea is not as pleasant)."

"The apricot's very mild in this tea, but I surprisingly liked it that way. It's such a light tea, it was really good."
