Finished off a pitcher pack of this… for far less than a pitcher’s worth of tea. I like this one, but it really does not stretch to a full pitcher that actually tastes good. It’s sweet but not artificially so (there’s sugar. Haha.), and has a lovely citrussy mango flavour – but much heavier on the mango/fruity than the citrus, in contrast to Mango Lemonade.

Yup, still love this one. I want to try it iced… interestingly, I was going to say that the yogurt in the blend might be a problem with that, but I see there is no yogurt… am I misremembering/making things up?
ETA: I read my past notes.
1. I have tried this iced. I liked it.
2. I am misremembering. Sigh.

This reminded me somewhat of DT’s Country Lemonade (is that what it’s called?), but with a subtle mango twist. And no stevia (I think there’s stevia in the other?) I had it hot/warm and it was ok, but I think I should try it iced. Not quite sure how I feel about it yet.
Of note, may not be a blend for grapefruit haters. That’s the citrus note I pick up on most, and it looks like there’s pomelo peel in it, which explains that. I can’t recall if it was dominant when drinking the tea, but it certainly is permeating through the bag of dry leaf!

Not bad for a tea with stevia. I had it hot; it was quite fruity and did taste like warm berries, but I imagine towards the end of the pouch the stevia will be overwhelming. I may try it iced too.

Meh, gimmicky. I found it watery and sweet without much body. I guess it’s a rooibos so there’s not much base, but for whatever reason I expected more. Maybe I could mix it with something else to use up the rest? It just was so boring.
Cup from the big bag I purchased when AQ2T went out of business. I don’t think I like it as much as the original, but it’s still good. There’s an interesting licoricey note in here that makes me think more of Hot Cross Buns, which is confusing, but I remember never being able to keep the two straight anyhow.

Ah, who knew this bag of tea would last so long (7 years!) and that I’d go through so many phases with it. The final cups ended up being surprisingly enjoyable, all things considered, so I’m sad to see it go. I missed out the last time it came back, but would likely pick up 50g if I saw it again.
