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.

"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."

"This is OUTSTANDING!!! The grapefruit is amazing. The tea itself is a nice oolong, and the blend is superb. It's the right leaf to handle such a bright citrus. And I brewed multiple times to great success!! Really tremendous."

"Although the smell of grapefruit is strong the taste is somewhat lacking, none the less this is a nice oolong tea."

"I need to try this a few more times before I'm sure. Very strong citrus-zest flavor."

"One of my favorites year round. I drink this in the winter but especially love it iced in the summer. When I have dried hibiscus I like to add a little of that to the iced to brew-gives it a hint of sweetness without taking away the grapefruity tang."
