I LOVE TAKGOTI AND AUGGY. LOVE THEM LOVE THEM. This must be known, to everyone. Sorry if this is coming off as a bit incoherent but takgoti just sent me the hugest box of tea known to man. And I’m all weepy and excited and happy and wonderific.
So, how do you rate a tea when you don’t like the main flavoring agent?
I hate melons. Like, really really hate them. The taste of them makes me want to gag, actually. I don’t like their texture. Honeydew? Nope. Cantaloupe? EW. Watermelon? Gross! (Yeah I know, I dislike watermelon, I’m weird, blahblahblah).
So when I opened the GM sample of this, I immediately smelled melon. Ripe, fresh melon. Mixed in with a sweetness that must’ve been the white tea base. Very pretty, but very…melon. I wasn’t that happy, but I dumped the entire sample into my pot and got it cooking. Or steeping, rather.
The resulting tea was a beautiful color. A darker white tea than most, like a very light copper. And the fragrance must be mouth-watering for a melon-lover, but for me… I just wrinkled my nose.
The first sip was a bit… interesting, to say the least. It’s pretty much straight melon, with a nice white tea base. It tastes like a hybrid version of a cantaloupe and honeydew, but actually comes closer to Midori in taste than either. I can actually stomach Midori in small doses, but yeah. I finished the cup, but I can’t say I really enjoyed it. I wouldn’t order it again, but it was extremely high-quality! And tasted just like melon! So if you love melon, I’m sure you’ll love this.
My mom kept sipping it, smiling, and going, “Mmmmmm” over and over again.
This one was so difficult to rate. But there it is!
And OMG TAKGOTI AND AUGGY LOVE FOR REAL.

HAHAHA, oh wow. I’m so glad you like your big box o’ tea! Heart! Well, maybe you like it. We’ll see soon enough, I’m sure!
Too bad you don’t like melon, because this is indeed full of melon flavor. I’d say that’s a pretty high rating for someone who doesn’t like melon, though! You are more objective than I.
This sounds like my whole Honey Pear tasting! Great tea… if you like honey. But I say good job on a non-biased review. Can’t wait to try this one.
The ripe melon smell was too much for me and I LIKE melon :D. Watermelon yummmmm :D
