Goji Pop

Name:  Goji Pop


Brand:  David's Tea


Primary Type:  Herbal


Dry Scent:  There is a strong scent of dried apples in this, followed by the slightly musty sweetness of the goji berries.  To me, goji berries always smell a little like they're past their prime and have gone a bit dusty, even when they're very freshly dried.


Steeping Time: 7-8 min


Steeped Flavour:  Mildly sweet and just a little tangy from a small amount of hibiscus, this is lovely and fruity, although if not steeped long enough it can be fairly watery.  I would say it can stand a steep even ten minutes or more, if you so desire.


Food/Drink Pairings:  This is probably best used iced as a base for delicate fruit martinis, say with lichi liqueur or watermelon or Midori.  It also goes well with lunch or breakfast, of course, but nothing too strongly flavoured.


Rating out of Six Tails:
5/6
