I first discovered this blend as a seasonal special in 2022. The following year it was tragically unavailable (something about a pear shortage). I was so excited to learn it's back in 2024 as a regular option!
The flavor is delicate without being too light. It's well balanced with the floral notes hitting first, followed by the fruit and white tea. I get pear and also apple. It makes the absolute best iced tea during summer and doesn't get too bitter, as opposed to some other teas which have higher tannins. It makes a bright and aromatic cuppa in the late morning or early afternoon.
I highly recommend you stash up on this one. Just in case of the apocalypse or another pear shortage.
Has a lot of flavor for something so light. Very happy with this tea! I noticed the pear-pieces and the tea gets a little jumbled in the bag, so it's a little harder to get the right consistency. But that's easy to make right, especially knowing how good it all is!
