Well, so much for my smell accuracy … this came to me by way of Lori in a little care package, so there was no package description to read. When I steeped and sniffed this morning, the first two flavor words that came to mind were “darjeeling” and “pineapple.”

Not even close, according to the manufacturer description—green with strawberry, passionfruit, peach. But it’s a beautiful gold color and light and fruity. Something that would definitely fit a Mother’s Day high tea in the garden with gloves and feather boas.

Preparation
190 °F / 87 °C 3 min, 15 sec

There was barely any on the tin and certainly no steeping instructions. It is definitely a light and pleasant tea…

With pinkies extended … not that I am NEARLY that refined!

Mmm, that sounds so yummy :) The description reminds me of a tea I tried which has strawberry, pineapple, and papaya with green and black tea, which I liked a lot—I should order some of this!

Lori recommended a 3-minute steep and it was about right.
