When I first opened the package of this tea, I was blown away by the aroma.  The scent of cherries, berries, apples and citrus are truly a delight; reminding me of a fruit salad that has been assembled with only the ripest, freshest, most delicious fruit.   In a word, it is ambrosial.

After it’s brewed, the fragrance of the tea softens a bit, but, it still smells amazing.  Even better, it tastes amazing as well. This tea is appropriately named, because it is like a Fruit Medley every time I take a sip.

Cranberry — pleasingly tangy — is the most prominent flavor of this cornucopia of fruit, and it is joined with the flavors of apple, cherry, strawberry and orange, with just a squeeze of lemon.  The overall flavor is on the tart side, as you might imagine, and the hibiscus adds to that tartness.

However, the undertones of the sweet flavors of these fruits provide a very intriguing complexity of sweet and sour that I find enchanting.

Our Home Tea describes this tea as

Prepare for a party in your cup with this delicious fruit sangria blend that brews up a mouthwatering cup of herbal tea. Entirely caffeine free, it holds a special appeal for kids and sweet-toothed adults. Contains no sweetener. The flavor is all natural, emanating from a mix of cranberry, hibiscus flowers, apples, orange peel, strawberry, cherry, lemongrass and sunflower petals. Highly addictive; Please proceed with caution!

This tea is very good served hot, but I think it is even better as an iced tea, the bright fruit flavors are truly refreshing when they are chilled, and tastes a bit like fruit punch, but without all that added sugar. I did add some sweetener to this tea, because I found it to be a little more tart than sweet, and I wanted to soften the sharpness of the tart just a little bit.  Even with this addition, it amounts to far less sugar than those fruit drinks in a box.

I would recommend this tea to anyone looking for a deliciously fragrant, flavorful fruit tea.  I think it would be an excellent choice to serve at family holiday gatherings, either hot or iced.  And because of the pretty pink color of the tea, it would also make a very nice tea to serve at a child’s tea party.
