I love the Grapefruit taste. It's very inviting. Can't help but stand their and sniff it.
A wake-up call to the senses! Invigorating grapefruit flavor with tangy, citrusy Ceylon black tea.

Okay, I'm kind of biased because I love grapefruit, but this is probably my favorite tea. I take it black, and then I always overbrew it to get the most of the grapefruit flavor out of it. Soooo good in the morning or as 2:00 pick-me-up.
This has a very nice, grapefruity/citrusy smell. I prefer it iced, but beware of oversteeping this one - it can get a little overly bitter if you do. I think that I prefer the grapefruit oolong, but this is a nice grapefruit to use when making blended ice teas.
This is one of my go-to teas. I adore grapefruit, and this tea delivers in flavor and aroma. Don't let it steep too long, though, or the bitterness overpowers.
Very bitter. I guess i do not like grapefruit in tea.
Very nice grapefruit aroma, but subtle taste. One of my new favorites.
I enjoy the tartness, but it is almost too acidic when taken black, which is generally my preference.
My siblings and I decided this was more generic citrus tasting than truly grapefruit tasting. That being said if you like orange or lemon tasting black tea you will probably like this too. (We did!)
Wow, this tea is amazing! It has a wonderful grapefruit flavor without any of the bitterness. I drink mine completely plain, without any sugar or cream.
I prefer the complex flavors of the grapefruit oolong better. This comes off kinda fake.
This tea ended up being too sour for my tastes. I know it's grapefruit, so I should have known what I was getting into, but still. It idd have a nice flavor, but was too tart to make for a pleasant cup of tea. Once it is not snowing and fridgid outside, I do plan to make it iced, and expect that to be really good with some sugar. If sour is something you enjoy, I think you will still like this tea. it's just not really my thing.
Love the subtle flavor. Very mellow. Delicious tea.
Refreshing but I steeped it to long, and it was a bit pungent. Still, a great tea... probably better for a blend.
To me, this tea tasted pithy and bitter, with none of the flavor of the actual fruit and too much of the peel.
A bit strong for me, but my husband loves it. Might keep it in the cupboard just for him.
Grapefruit black teas seem to brew heartier, if you ask me. I really enjoy grapefruit when I want a rich and intense cup of black tea.
I really wasn't sure about this one. When you open the bag, it smells really strange. It brews wonderfully, however, and has a great flavor. It's very similar to the orange, but just a bit more bright and refreshing. It's great with cream, too!
This tea is really good! Citrusy and crisp! Perfect iced on a hot summer day!
I found this tea to have the perfect balance of grapefruit and black tea. I plan to re-purchase. I enjoyed this tea in the morning as an alternate to my standard blacks/breakfasts and after lunch.
This is so good. I love grapefruit, and to me this hits the nail on the head. It's got a good strong flavor, and I can taste the grapefruit even when it's mixed with other teas (flavored or not). This will definitely be another staple in my tea cabinet.
I love the scent of it in the bag! Delicious! Brewed it pales in comparison. Agree that it seems 'generic citrus' without the tart twang of grapefruit.
Tart and yummy! The citrus was refreshing and delicious.
My boyfriend's favorite tea. It is actually his 'tea for Friday' tea. It smells amazing and tastes just like a grapefruit.
VERY fragrant in the bag. While the grapefruit flavour isn't terribly strong in the tea itself once brewed, but it's still a very pleasant tea with a bit of tart tang from the grapefruit.
This tea has a true grapefruit flavor. It smells bright and refreshing while leaving a tart flavor on your tongue. Blend a little vanilla tea in for a more mellow cup.
It wasn't bad, but the grapefruit flavor didn't come through as much as I had hoped. I prefer the white tea version.
oh my! this is very zesty! this tea is incredibly fragrant, don't expect the flavour of grapefruit juice this is purely the zest and i love it!
This is a wonderful morning tea! Very bright and eye-opening.
Great for a morning pick-me-up with a tangy taste.
I ordered this tea out of curiosity. I had had lemon and orange tea, but never even heard of grapefruit. It is now one of my favorites! It's a great summer flavor and I'm also going to try blending it with one of the other citrus teas. I did steep for 5 minutes rather than 3, like the package recommends. I preferred the flavor that way. I love this tea!
I loved the smell of this tea but the flavor was underwhelming. It didn't have as much of a grapefruit flavor as the smell led me to believe.
Honestly, this isn't my favorite. I enjoy grapefruit quite a lot but this wasn't terribly thrilling. If you really REALLY love grapefruit, you'll probably enjoy it. If it's not really your thing, I'd suggest you pass it up.
This makes a fantastic iced tea. the aroma is absolutely delicious. It smells strongly of grapefruit but after steeping it has a general citrus flavor. Not a bad thing but I'll stick to the grapefruit oolong.
Better than I thought it would be. Not overly bitter or tart like real grapefruit. It's just a nice citrus flavor that sweetens nicely and is good hot or cold.
The grapefruit was a little too astringent for this to be enjoyable.
It's good, but not as grapefruit-y as I would've thought. In fact, I actually caught quite a bit more orange than anything else. It's still a nice tea, citrus-y and bright, but I think it could stand to have a bit more grapefruit flavoring.
I'm still loving this nice and refreshing tea. It's refreshing and flavorful. =D
Good, but I'm thinking I must not be a fan of citrusy teas.
This one was interesting. I wasn't sure what to expect but it is really good. The grapefruit lends aroma but not acid. I will order this one again. I want to try it iced to see if it lends itself to that medium.
Smells kind of like grapefruit, and the aftertaste has a little bit of the same tongue-numbing zing, but overall an unremarkable tea.
I love teas with any sort of citrus 'hit' to them, but this one left something to be desired. The dry tea smells like grapefruit but doesn't necessarily smell or taste like it once brewed. Also, as drink tea with breakfast, I found that it clashed with what I was eating more than some of the other flavored teas. That isn't necessarily a huge mark against it, it means I'll just be enjoying it by itself from now on.
Love the flavor. Grapefruit white tea had a stronger grapefruit taste though.
I like the Grapefruit Oolong, but this is a bit bitter like regular grapefruit. Not a pleasant taste, but could be interesting if blended. I will experiment with this one.
I've used this mostly for blending so far, and even though it has a sharp, pungent smell, it's pretty easily swallowed up by other teas in the blend, to my surprise. Even so, I suspect it might be a bit too overbearing a taste to be brewed on its own, but I might give it a try, just to see.
The grapefruit was better than I thought. It definitely had a nice grapefruit flavor.
Not too sure about this grapefruit tea. It smelled great but it kind of just tastes like citrus-y watered down black tea.
This tea tasted absolutely fantastic! It had a very strong scent, which I enjoy, and the taste wasn't too strong, and certainly not too weak.
I am a huge fan of grapefruit in general, so I had high hopes for this tea, which it satisfied! First of all, just the smell of this stuff alone is simply wonderful, but it's taste is wonderful as well. Very sweet and specifically grapefruity, not just citrusy. I imagine this would make a very refreshing iced tea in the summer as well!
The smell was amazing but the tea itself steeped wasn't that great.
While the grapefruit smell is nice in the bag, I can't say I really tasted it - the tea seemed rather bland. I may play around with amounts and steep time and maybe iced to see if I enjoy it more
