The scent of this tea! Mmm! It’s like slicing into a juicy honeydew melon. Or it reminded me a little of a sweet and creamy honeydew bubble tea! It took me back to big honeydew milkshakes at University with my girlfran.
But it’s called Cool Cucumber!
And when you first taste it, you get a really nice and refreshing wave of… cool cucumber. Exactly how the name suggests it should be! When this tea is steeped at perfection – which I have not yet found and owe to the lovely gals that brewed it up for me in store. I’m still workin on it. But I have to say, when it’s right, it’s right.
It’s lovely hot and it’s even better cold. There is a subtle and almost creamy mint but it is not too strong or overpowering. The main notes are cucumber and melon. Not too sweet and very smooth.
I found that it was great in the sample but got a little bland drinking a full cup. It also overs teeped and became bitter, too minty. I think I’ll be in the mood for it when the weather warms up… with a big full cup of ice and a smidge of agave :)
