So, I first tried this tea in a Teavana store. I had a coupon for a free hot tea, so I tried this. The leaves smell of a wonderful concord grape, which I love! I had them brew it to my instructions (no sugar, 1tbsp/16oz) and it was like drinking warm grape juice with a mild oolong note at the end. I personally loved it then.

A few months later, I was in Teavana to purchase some of their “end of year” sale items and noticed that this tea was 75% off! I bought 8oz of it, thinking I would drink it quickly, but it definitely doesn’t taste like what I had in the store anymore.. Not sure why, but the grape flavor isn’t really noticeable and it’s just like drinking a low-quality oolong that makes you go “…meh.”

Yikes! Eight ounces! You might try leafing it a bit heavier than normal. I’ve often found I need to with Teavana teas.

I can’t resist a good sale! And since I liked it so much (I would have rated it 90 at the initial taste), I thought it was worth it.

I hope you figure out a way to make it delicious, cause 8oz is a lot to get through.

Learning more about tea every day.

Likes: Greens, whites, oolongs, blacks, and herbals! Just depends on the mood :)
Dislikes: Coconut, melon, chocolate, peach, cherry

I also collect antique teaware (Chinese and Japanese).

I’d love to try new types, varieties, etc. I’m still exploring pu-erh to make a complete decision whether to keep trying it or just count it as a loss.

I’d love to trade with anyone who likes something that I might have! I just have to get everything added to my cupboard first :)
