Description

A wake up call to the senses! Our Grapefruit tea is invigorating both in scent as well as taste. This blend of premium Formosa oolong tea and grapefruit is fantastic choice for an afternoon respite, or any time you need a citrus-infused pick-me-up.

Story

Grapefruit, a member of the citrus family, can trace its origins to the West Indies. It is believed that grapefruits originated from a natural cross-breed between the orange and the pomelo. In the 1820s, grapefruit was introduced to Florida, where today, a majority of the world's supply is grown. The fruit's name describes the way it grows; in grape-like clusters on the tree.

"Aromatic, but not overbearing. A refreshing way to start out the morning."

"When I was steeping it, the tea smelled of grapefruit but also of something vaguely spicy. The taste is harder to describe; I got the citrus taste of grapefruit, though thankfully without the sourness. But there was also an odd taste that makes me think of wood (it's not as bad at it sounds - promise!) and spice. But the flavour combination felt very smooth on the tongue with a touch of sweet. It's quite different from anything else I've drank - that's not really saying much though as I've not tasted many oolongs - but I liked it even though it's not something I'll always be in the mood to drink. On the re-steep the grapefruit flavour really came to the fore while the other flavours retired politely into the background. I still quite enjoyed it."

"Great tea! Great on ice. The grapefruit flavor of this one is pretty strong, but does not totally overpower the typical oolong flavor. I enjoy this tea way more than I thought I would and would definitely recommend it, especially as a (refreshing) summer tea."

"Nice oolong, grapefruit flavor is very subtle, best on second and third steep."

"Almost has the essence of a very mild earl grey. It was fairly fruity but mild. "

"I didn`t care much for this tea, I don`t know what I was expecting......but it was just a little to much grapefruit flavor."
