A premium Sri Lankan black tea with apricot and saffron petals evokes an exotic evening in Tangier.
It is a decadent blend of abundant saffron and apricot petals and large Sri Lankan tealeaves. Its apricot aroma is evocative of an exotic evening in Tangier, Morocco. The rich copper brew has intoxicating aromas of stewed apricots, floral intensity and the bold, lemony note of a superlative Ceylon black tea. The favor has abundant floral notes with a seductive apricot body and a citrusy, spicy black tea base. This balanced, smooth blend is supremely drinkable served hot or sweetened and iced.
Suggested steeping parameters: 200F for 4 minutes.
Company description not available.
Backlogging – I had this tea as a cold-brewed iced tea and I think it might have lost something. It tasted fine but mostly just tasted like a peach tea. No saffron flavor, not much black tea flavor. I probably need to try it hot to compare.
Wow this is really good! So pleasantly surprised. I don’t think I’ve ever liked an apricot black tea before. I will admit that the black tea is totally overshadowed by the saffron and apricot, but I’m actually okay with that. The bright fruitiness is really delicious. I’m going to have to nab more of this when I get home and can make iced tea. (Dorm room without fridge is not conducive to the iced tea making- alas, because it’s really hot right now in VT. I didn’t even know it got hot in VT, but I digress.)
This is nice! And my first tea of the New Year! Have a Happy and Safe one everyone!
This is a semi-floral/semi-tangy/semi-sweet blend with hints of this and hints of that…just enough to keep you guessing!
It’s a medium brown in color and somewhat smooth. The Apricot is a nice touch.
This tea smells AMAZING dry, like they didn’t skimp on the saffron at all (which is pretty awesome considering how very expensive decent saffron is!). Whoo boy. Brewed it mellows a lot and tastes almost vegetal more than sweetly spiced, which is tasty in its own right but somehow a little disappointing after that whammy of a first impression dry. Really good, don’t get me wrong, but not as dessert-y as I was expecting. It’s funny, it was sort of the opposite phases of expectations—>dry aroma—>brewed experience from my encounter with ATR’s Toasted Fig. Now that my expectations will be more aligned with final results, I’m sure I’ll enjoy both thoroughly.
I got this as a sample and I really liked it. Smooth black tea and yummy apricots. Much more appealing somehow than other apricot teas I have tried. I am actually not much on fruit flavorings (haven’t really gotten in to Earl Grey) but this is delicious. Will order.
I like this tea a lot more now than I did when I added milk to all my black teas. With milk the flavour kind of gets drowned out, but plain, it’s deliciously juicy. While it’s still hot there is definitely more of a floral note at the front of the sip followed by the apricot, but the juicy apricot really pops with a pinch of sugar. The Ceylon is coming off as very tart and lemony, and it works well with the fresh-tasting apricot flavour really making it ‘juicy’. I’ve had this for so long because it never really wowed me, but now I can appreciate it more without milk I’m happy to have been able to enjoy it and give this one a good send-off.

Here’s Hoping Teabox – Round Seven- Tea #7
An interesting one – the light black tea really paired well and supported with the tasty fruity flavor here. The description says it is a Ceylon which might be a Ceylon I actually liked, but take the flavor away and I probably would hate it. I’m sure this would be excellent iced. Two tasty steeps. Sorry for the short note, but tasting notes are also helpful for dating a tea in a teabox… then I know when I’ve had it before.
This is a fine Ceylon tea and it needs to steeped in hot water as directed on our label. We really cannot be faulted for you not liking our tea if it is not prepared properly. You’ll find the tea is extraordinary if you prepare it using a 4 – 5 minute steep at water just under a boil. This also makes the absolute best iced tea…so we are saddened to hear you had a lackluster experience due to not properly infusing the tea.
