On tea wrapper design, there is a cantaloupe melon and ginger. Nothing telling Apricot to me, but the text. Seeing only again flavours in and not actual things in makes me again very sad. Steeps rapidly.
I did only 3 minutes steep (there is suggested 3-5 minutes), but after 3 minutes I received a mug of very dark opaque oily liquor. It isn’t inviting to drink at all and honestly, it doesn’t taste good either. It stains my mug a lot as well.
It’s flat black tea, a lot of tannins in, and flavouring? Nope. Very, very weakly ginger. Apricot? Some fruitiness is there, but not sure if it is that apricot or cantaloupe. Not a similar flavour, but because of that tannic base I could not decide what I am actually tasting!
Not worth trying again/ordering. Just a weird cup.
I wonder, if you are even interested in notes of those small (probably) brands that you probably never try, because they aren’t distributed world-wide and sometimes it is very limited offer?

It’s fun reading your tasting notes even if I’ll never get to try the tea.
Sometimes a tasting note is to signal what not to drink again. I like reading about different or even similar tea from other countries.
Thank you for your point of view Leafhopper and Michelle. I will keep posting them now and then.
I definitely like to read about the unknown brands!
Great tea-sipper. I wonder if you check them out somehow or not… but I like your curiosity. Being a curious person myself…
