Brand: Teavana
Primary Type: White
Dry Scent: There is the sweetness of berries, apples and pineapple front and center in this, but it is quickly followed by the dry, slightly dusty herbal scent of basil and hints of the citrus tang of hibiscus. An unusual combination, although they do seem to play reasonably harmoniously together along with the grassy, fresh scent of the white tea leaves.
Steeping Time: 2-2.5 min
Steeped Flavour: The first and strongest flavour in this is the basil, unfortunately. It is followed by the lovely fruity flavours, and the citrus bite of the hibiscus, but the basil just seems a little odd. Not bad, overall, but odd.
Food/Drink Pairings: This probably would work best with a main course meal, especially pasta, since then the basil flavour might be overwhelmed and allow the fruity flavours to come out more strongly.
Rating out of Six Tails:
3.5/6
Buy/Don't Buy
I'm putting a "maybe buy" on this. It's not bad, per se, but it's definitely different, and probably not to everyone's taste.
