Has a jolly rancher taste when brewed hot. I have not tried cold yet, but I give 4-stars for the hot brew. Very tasty, sweet, and pairs excellent with sugar. However, a bit too tart for my liking.
Sweet, juicy and refreshing, our Watermelon Cooler when iced makes a perfect poolside treat. Add a pinch of mint or a twist of lime to create a tasty watermelon mocktail.

Watermelon cooler is made of apple pieces, rose hips, hibiscus, raspberry leaves, natural watermelon flavor, cranberries & rose petals, and it's absolutely lovely as a cold brew. I've been using one of my Adagio pitchers, with half watermelon cooler, half peppermint. Awesome!
This makes an excellent iced tea. A light watermelon flavor that is perfect on summer days. It was flavorful enough for me without any added sweetener. It was very refreshing iced.
This one had a bit of a weird almost minty taste to it. I finished my sample pouch, but I don't think I'd buy this one again.
This is the best tea for iced and sweetened for the summer. I love to mix it with Wild Strawberry as well! I cold brew this often and its delicious.
This is Delicious, either hot or cold. I brew it strong.
This makes an awesome iced tea. I brew it cold in my fridge overnight and it's light and refreshing!
Light watermelon flavor so I was a little underwhelmed but still refreshing
You have to go into this one expecting a light-tasting tea. Watermelon is not, after all, a fruit with a strong flavor. That being said this light, refreshing tea tastes just like a watermelon jolly rancher -- fun! It is much better iced than it is hot, and it is much better iced with a dollop of juice than it is plain.
I loved this; I was worried that the watermelon would taste artificial, but it really didn't to me. It was summery and refreshing!
Watermelon cooler is good hot but it's better cold. The watermelon flavor is definitely present and is not overwhelmingly strong although the tea has other flavors included to balance the watermelon flavor. I little sweetener goes a long way and the tea tastes almost exactly like watermelon.
This was a bit too sweet for me. Did not have notes of watermelon.
Super refreshing!! I like it warm, but I've yet to try it iced.
Even better than I thought it would be. Doesn't necessarily taste like you're eating watermelon, but tastes far better than any watermelon flavoring I've ever had. I really liked this one.
This is a nice, refreshing iced tea. I added a little lemonade and 2 frozen strawberries instead of ice cubes.
Outstanding, I brewed this at 212F for 5 min, and cold-brewed it, both times the flavor came through beautifully. This is one of my all-time favorite herbal Summer-Time teas! I do think that it is best served cold with crystalized stevia (at least a teaspoon per cup),
I've only tried this one as cold brew. The first batch mostly got apple flavors, though the second did have some watermelon come through. It's okay.
Not exactly what I was expecting when I got the tea but still nice. I would reccomend ice brewing for a few hours rather than boiling water for it. The brewing temp isn't letting me put a value less than 130 tho haha
I really wanted to like this one. It smells great but it has no flavour and tastes bland.
Very sweet but it was a really nice, pretty tea. I really enjoy it in the evenings.
The dry tea smells like watermelon. When brewed, the cup is a light pink and smells sweet, but less like watermelon. When hot, the tea is sweet with a bit of tartness, but it is hard to determine exact flavor notes as the flavor profile is mild. When warm, the tea tastes like sweet watermelon with some tart cranberry and hibiscus in the finish. This tastes like it would be a nice one to cold brew and have iced. This is a subtle fruit blend, which makes it perfect for a hot day. Brewed at 212 for 5 minutes.
Next best thing to enjoying watermelon without having to slice one up. The initial tart flavor from the red group of hibiscus, rose hips, cranberry and raspberry leaves was nicely tempered with agave sweetener. As the tea cooled more, the watermelon flavor blossomed and a hint of rose taste came forward to soften the overall flavor. The gentled tart flavor added a pleasant tang in the background.
My Ct packet had many apple pieces, a plump cranberry, a rose petal and a smattering of fruity bits and leaves. 3 grams/ 2 full tsp. steeped into a pale pink liquor that looked like pink watermelon juice. I used 10 oz. instead of my usual 12 oz. of water to brew 3 grams of tea for a fuller flavor. I brewed at 212*F for 10 minutes. After tasting and sweetening, I set aside half of the tea to try cold. Chilled, all the flavors blended well to make a truly tasty watermelon tea that was so refreshing ! Next, I added 12 oz. of water to the spent fruit in the infuser and made an enjoyable flavored water too. This tea was terrific especially chilled. For me, using less water or more tea for the steep was key to enjoying a full watermelon flavor. Enjoy!
This is a lovely, light, refreshing watermelon tea. Some of the watermelon teas I've had in the past taste too fake, like you're drinking a jolly rancher, but this one reminds me a lot of the watermelon cucumber smoothies I make for breakfast. Needless to say, I'm a fan!
I first tried this on August 3, 2020 when I was new to the CommuniTEA below is the review I wrote on my blog:
Note: This year my packet had more hibiscus which produced a more red color that I did not get last year. Which may have effected the flavor.
I got more flavor. This year. Still enjoyed with sugar to bring out flavors.
August 3,2020 from my blog.
I have never been a fan of herbal teas. Most herbal teas that I have had usually have a strong floral taste. Watermelon Cooler definitely was more of a fruit tisane. However, I found the taste to be very subtle.
Not believing the suggest steeping time, I tried this at three different steeping times. First, I poured a little at 3 minutes, my usual steep time, it was basically still water. At the five-minute mark, there was a slight hint of taste. It was not until the steeping reached the full 10 minutes that I actually tasted watermelon.
Sugar will often enhance the flavor. It took more sugar today than any previous days to bring out the essence of watermelon. I will give points for the natural flavor and it not tasting artificial. I was also pleased I did not get any hint of the rose petals or hibiscus.
Watermelon Cooler makes a nice Sweet Iced Tea to be enjoyed on a summer day.
I'm not getting alot of flavor. I may need to put it back in the fridge for a bit to make it stronger. The light flavor I got wasn't bad it just wasn't enough
Every time I’ve drank this, it was iced with exception of today. Today I steeped it for 10 minutes with some rock sugar and thought it was one the best options on the website for something fruity. I wouldn’t say it’s big on watermelon flavor, but more of a tropical fruit punch. This is a tea I think works for both adults and children.
Tried this as part of CommuniTea. Warm, the hibiscus and cranberry tanginess prevailed with a hint of fruit. Cold is when this tea shined for me. Light watermelon candy with a little kick of tart. Very refreshing.
Last year I didn’t care for this one much but I’ve had a change of heart. I don’t know if it’s the sample or better preparations this year, but I really enjoyed it. I had it hot, but would like to try it cold. It’s not something that I would have in my cabinet all the time, but maybe in the summer months. Really was like drinking warm watermelon juice. I only used 8oz of water, at 200° for 30 minutes. (I forgot it was steeping so not sure how long it sat.)
Smells and tastes like a watermelon-flavored Jolly Rancher. I cold-steeped overnight for a lovely pale rose-colored tea. The flavor is delicate, so don't oversweeten. Delicious and refreshing on a hot day--like a slice of watermelon can be!
Delicious smell and huge pieces of fruit, The taste was weak but it has great potential.
I really liked this blend. It actually did taste of watermelon, and I found it to be quite refreshing. I liked it better as it cooled, and I genuinely think this would be great iced. Very enjoyable.
Did anyone else think they were drinking a lollipop? The delicious and refreshing fruitiness of this tea had me in awe. I loved every sip! The cranberry flavor wasn’t overwhelming and blended well with the watermelon and hibiscus. Definitely adding this to my list<3
It tasted more fruity than specifically watermelon. I didn't mind it though. I made it hot then let it cool in the fridge. I also tried adding 1/4 tsp of monkfruit.
I cold brewed this for about 5 hours. The taste was very faint but I could tell it was watermelon. I probably should have used a bit less water. Love the smell of the packet.
Originally was not a fan of this one, but absolutely love it over ice.
I’ve had this tea in ice tea bag form and loved it, so I was excited to dry it warm this morning. I’m not sure which way I like it better! Iced, this tea is deeply refreshing, warm, it’s a sweet comfort. In both forms, the watermelon comes through fresh and clear with no cloying fakeness.
A pleasant and delicate watermelon flavor. It didn't have an artificial taste to me. Very refreshing iced.
Sipping along with the CommuniTEA: Strong watermelon fragrance with an herbal nuance from the dry ingredients and packet. Once steeped for 5 mins at 212° F, subtle watermelon scent wafting from bright ruby liquid in my cup. When I take a sip, I notice a complex watermelon, berry, and rose combination with a pleasant tangy finish.
Delicious as an iced tea, this is one refreshing treat! This one goes in the shopping cart for sure!
I hot steeped this blend for extra long (about 20 minutes) and then poured over ice. Quite tasty iced tea! It is a little too sweet for me, but if you like watermelon-flavored candy, I think you will like this one.
It really does taste like watermelon! I was skeptical when I saw the ingredients list (cranberry? Rose petals?) but l liked it.
What a nice herbal blend. It tastes exactly like watermelon! Quite sweet and just a little tart. Light and refreshing, even hot.
Very mellow delightful watermelon flavour. I would have liked it a bit stronger, but still enjoyed it. Next time will try this as a chilled tea as I think that would be perfect.
One of my favorite teas. Watermelon flavor is really nice, though I wish it was a little bit stronger. Cold brewed overnight. No additional sweetener needed. With a lovely pink color which adds to the enjoyment.
Very light watermelon flavor, might have worked better iced.
I was excited about the watermelon, but I didn’t really taste it. The tea was nice though.
A bit too light in flavor for my taste. If I thought about it I could pick up the watermelon, otherwise it was just a bit too mellow
I love watermelon and this blend doesn’t disappoint. I tried it hot but it’s probably even more scrumptious iced.
Always a lovely tea, actually one of the first I tried from Adagio.
212/10mins/iced/lightly sweetened
A big watermelon fan with a bit of a sweet tooth, this tea really hits the spot on a sunny afternoon.
A wonderfully sweet, fruity and vibrant cup of tea that's as great warm as it is cold, wonderful to sip on a nice summer day!
