From lemon water to orange juice, refreshing citrus beverages are simple yet satisfying kitchen staples that are enjoyable year-round. Maybe that’s why citrus pairs so well with tea! Each week, our popular citrus-flavored black teas are shipped across the country to the homes of tea lovers like you. This April, we’re pleased to announce our delightful and unique new Citrus Grove collection!
These three specially curated citrus blends perfectly complement our existing flavored tea collection, offering unique flavors unlike anything we’ve offered before. Featuring natural fruit flavors, our premium teas range from sweet to zesty — a caffeine-free tisane, an Oolong tea, and a white tea provide a variety of choices to please the different palates of tea lovers.
Our first new citrus tea is a caffeine-free Strawberry-Citrus Fruit Mélange. The fresh strawberry flavor is highlighted by tart citrus. We think this selection would make an outstanding iced tea, as the sweetness enhances when it cools. It’s the perfect choice for evenings or for those trying to cut back on caffeine. To the Valued Customers who have called us requesting a strawberry-flavored tea: this is the one for you!
Strawberry-Citrus Fruit Mélange
The aroma of sweet wild strawberry, reminiscent of a fruit candy, greets you as you take your first sip of this refreshing blend. The golden ecru liquor is smooth and light, with a fruity sweetness and mild tartness that balance well on the palate. Notes of strawberry, citrus, and apple create a thirst-quenching cup, enjoyable hot or iced. The crisp finish lingers with a hint of citrus zest. Caffeine-free.
Our second offering tastes like a sweet slice of lemon meringue pie. Lemon Meringue White Tea makes excellent use of a sweet, mellow white tea base, accentuating the flavor of Meyer lemon without sacrificing caffeine. Lacking overpowering or cloying sweetness, the fruit flavor truly shines.
With its creamy lemon fragrance and smooth, marshmallow-like sweetness, this naturally flavored white tea calls to mind the indulgent experience of this luscious lemon dessert. A pronounced Meyer lemon flavor is enhanced by hints of vanilla and sweet candy, which linger into the finish. A staff favorite.
Our third and final new citrus tea is the satisfying Orange Blossom Oolong. The base is light and sweet, a perfect complement to zesty orange. The aroma evokes the perfume of orange blossoms. Of the three teas, this may be the most complex. Savor each sip to enjoy the body of the cup and the delicate finish.
The combination of a lightly oxidized China Oolong with natural citrus oil creates a delightfully refreshing cup. The aroma is fragrant with notes of fresh orange and honey. In the pale gold liquor, a gentle hint of orchid perfume balances perfectly with the flavor of orange zest and a whisper of spice. A light sweetness lingers in the finish.
