Lovely tea. Drink it while

"Lovely tea. Drink it while I read. A little surprised by getting notes of Sweet Potato and Melon on the nose. Overall tastes and smells great."

Loved it

"To me, it tasted like a buttery pastry with fruit filling. Had a rich, buttery mouth feel. Would recommend."

— Corn (5/5)

Cadbury’s Fruit & Nut Chocolate Bar

"This is a nice little drinker. The best way I can describe this tea is like a Cadbury’s Fruit and Nut chocolate bar; even chocolate coated Brazil nuts with a hint of malt (like Maltesers). Chocolate, malt, raisins and Brazil nuts. I find the fruit more in the aroma than the taste. The smell turns into more floral when it comes to the end. I personally smell it better in the fairness pitcher than the cup. I have brewed this in a Hongni Teapot and a white porcelain Gaiwan. The Gaiwan brings the fruit and floral aroma sooner, but the flavour profile is pretty much the same. However the quality of the tea and the processing of the leaves are great!"

Good value, amazing flavor

"This tea is priced right for a daily drinker, but the flavor is loaded with complexity and subtlety. The aroma is potent with marzipan and malt sugar, and the flavor follows with much of the same. There is also a low note of wood and walnut skins, with mild astingency and roasted cacao nibs. The finish brings out some faint notes of candied orange peel, marshmallow, and red apples as it fades. It is interesting that this is named "Fruit Aroma", which I usually expect to show up as a citrus note. There is very little (if any) citrus here, it comes across as malt, almond extract and chocolate here. This is an excellent red tea, however. I find myself reaching for it over and over again."

Fruity, indeed :)

"In general, very good one. I tried it for the first time. It gives quite pronounced and agreeable fruity scent (not sure what specific fruit can it be), that remains after brewing. Smooth and round taste in the beginning, coming a bit bitter at the end."

Fruity num num

"Very pleasantly fruity black tea. I like to brew with 90c spring water western style and it comes out great with longer steeps!"

Fruity tea

"The fruit aroma really hits you when you open the bag. The aroma stays through the brew. The taste has alot of that sweet and sour fruity, juicy taste. I found the body of the the somewhat lacking when brewing gongfu, but for the price I didn't mind that much. I thought, though, that this truly exceeds when cold brewed or brewed to ambience tea! It's also a really good tea to slightly overbrew and put in thermos!"
