Apricot Meadow Herbal Tea from Plum Deluxe Tea

Apricot Meadow Herbal Tea from Plum Deluxe Tea

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERATea Information:

Leaf Type:  Herbal

Where to Buy: Plum Deluxe

Tea Description:

One of the best parts of a monthly tea experience is to try unique blends; this month, see what happens when unexpected ingredients come together. Apricot + lemongrass? Who knew! Spicy, sweet, yet gentle.

Lemongrass is a very interesting herb – it really transforms flavor when it is paired with other flavors. It’s a lot of fun to experiment with – you can actually make it into a tea all on its own, but we think this combination is perfect excuse to slow down and laze on a sunny spring day. You’ve earned it!

Taster’s Review:

I have been wanting to do a tea subscription for a very long time but with not really digging red rooibos I was always leery of committing.  Plus with some of the subscription plans you get a lot of tea and I am really the only one that drinks it in my house, so I wasn’t sure if my cupboard could handle the overflow.  But I finally took a chance and decided I would check one out.  I emailed a few companies with a few questions and Andy from Plum Deluxe was the first one to reply.  I have asked him so many questions at this point, I bet he thinks I’m crazy.

I received my first package and it is adorable.  Along with my 1 oz of the tea of the month, I also received a sample of another of their blends and a cute little reusable bag with the companies logo on it. I love tea mail days.  I dug in right away.

The dry leaves definitely smell like a fresh apricot.   Threw 2 tsps into my Breville, set it up to 212F and steep for 5 minutes.

This really is a beautifully and well done herbal tea.  I highly recommend it.  The sweetness is there and you can really taste the apricot.  The honeybush really provides a great sweet addition.  There is almost a spicy tang to it as well.  But its gentle and warming.  The package says its great iced so I tried the herbal that way as well.  Same steeping parameters but added some ice.  Wow.  I can see this as being a great summer tea.  The apricot and honey flavors are really pronounced maybe even more so than when I enjoyed this hot.  I might have to hold off one drinking anymore and save it for later in the summer months.  I’m excited to see what next month’s tea will be.
