Description

Commonly used in pies and other treats, rhubarb's sweet and tart flavor is blended with a subtle Chinese green tea to create another form of delight. You can now have your pie and in this case, drink it too. Enjoy hot or iced.

Story

Rhubarb is indigenous to Asia and it's consumption is dated back to the time of the Tatars. The plant is also found in the region near the River Volga; its name derivative of the Greek 'rha' and 'barbarum', which refers to that particular region in central Russia. Rhubarb is commonly found in pies, jams, and tarts. The word 'rhubarb' also has another use: being repeated by background actors to create the sound of general hubbub to add to scenes.

"I love rhubarb green tea! The leaves smell like pie and it has a refreshing taste. If you like this tea there is a strawberry/rhubarb signature blend on here that is also delicious."

"Earth Meets Sweet! Hello Sweet! Just enough to tone down the Green's after taste. What a brilliant blend for a green tea pairing. Delightful! I bet it would also be great iced...might have to try it later...iced. Very Nice Cup!"

"This tea was a little odd for me at first, but after I got used to it, it quickly became one of my favorites. Please keep an open mind when trying this tea!"

"In the same way banana candy never really tastes like banana, this tea never really tastes like rhubarb. Thankfully, whatever flavor it is isn't too cloying."

"A wonderful flavored tea. This tastes very much like cherry green tea. "

"The rhubarb flavor is true to the real thing: slightly astrigent. While I am normally a fan of charp rhubarb flavor, it does not go well with this tea. It tastes like an additive that has a flavor completely distinct from the tea."
