Blind Melon

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?

  1. 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!
    p.s. I love your mug!

  2. I don't drink fruity teas hot but like them alone, or with regular bags to make iced tea.

  3. I 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

  4. I 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.

  6. I 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!

  7. 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

  8. I have shopped at Spars in England. How fun to try new teas, and melon sounds luscious! Thanks for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

  10. Dear Margie:
    I 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.

  11. Tea has gone a long way from the simple black to different fruity infusions. The melon-flavoured ones sound nice.
