Guava Cadabra

Name: Guava Cadabra


Brand: David's Tea


Primary Type: Herbal (fruit infusion)


Dry Scent: This smells incredible, like freshly-cut guavas and a little like a very juicy candy (someone else said something about it smelling candy-like and now I can't help but smell it). Very sweet, but in a natural, tropical fruit kind of way, and with just enough citrus acidity to make sure it doesn't smell sickly-sweet


Steeping Time: 5-8 min (plus, plus, plus...this can sit forever, it only gets better with time)


Steeped Flavour: The sweetness of its dry scent is still here, but it is cut very nicely by the tartness of hibiscus and the natural tartness of the guava itself. If you've ever eaten fresh guava you'll know what I'm talking about. There is a sweetness to it, but there is definitely tartness as well. A most delicious fruit which has managed to be translated very, very well into this tisane.


Food/Drink Pairings: This would be very tasty iced, and would make an incredible base for drinks involving any fruit liqueurs, especially those involving tropical fruits. It would also be very refreshing watered down on a hike, bike ride, or any other activity requiring hydration, and I think it could be just about the perfect picnic tea, hot or cold.
