Back in April, I visited The Dutch Shop in Grimsby which boasted an impressive selection of teas by Dutch companies.
I brought home this box of Fairtrade teas by Spar, a Dutch retail chain, which contained an assortment of Ceylon teas flavoured with 4 "orange fruits": mango, melon, orange, or tropical fruit.
I liked how the box had photos of the tea pickers in Sri Lanka!
By the time I got around to writing this post, the only flavour left for a photo op was the Melon tea.
The Melon tea was a refreshing, sweet tea and turned out to be my favourite of the bunch!
What's your favourite fruity tea this summer?
I'm joining the following parties this week:
I like that you were able to try four teas from one box, Margie! I can't say that I drink many fruity teas, as hot teas, but I do enjoy them iced in the summer. Right now, I'm loving Constant Comment on ice, but I do love raspberry, peach, mango, and blueberry, too. Life's too short to not try many favors of tea!
ReplyDeletep.s. I love your mug!
I don't drink fruity teas hot but like them alone, or with regular bags to make iced tea.
ReplyDeleteI like fruity teas, my favorites are Whittard of Chelsea's mango & lychee and guava. I probably won't like melon cause I do not eat cantaloupes....Christine
ReplyDeleteI like fruity teas in summer also. Raspberry, peach but Guava is my favorite. How nice that you got to try Dutch teas. That is different.

Hi: I love fruity teas as well. Hope you have a great week. Blessings, Martha
ReplyDeleteI have tried a strawberry tea here from our PEI Preserve Co. and it's nice. Mostly though I prefer spicy teas. It's nice that you got to try four different flavours from the one box. I like your cute mug too. Thanks for sharing and Happy Summer, Margie!

That sounds wonderful...it must be very fragrant. I don't drink hot tea in the summer but I like a glass of cold raspberry tea. Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteI have shopped at Spars in England. How fun to try new teas, and melon sounds luscious! Thanks for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

A melon-flavoured tea sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteDear Margie:
ReplyDeleteI have been making sun tea with loose black tea with strawberries in it and I love it. Your teas sound wonderful. It is fun to try different ones but right now with the heat up - no hot tea for me! Thanks for sharing and linking.
Tea has gone a long way from the simple black to different fruity infusions. The melon-flavoured ones sound nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog. Hope you have a good week
Blessings,
Aida
That sounds perfect for summer!
