Flavor-packed, fruitalicious, sweet, juicy, tart, and refreshing. These are just a few words that describe Watermelon-berry Green tea, a perfect summer time treat. Watermelon and Strawberry flavors blend with refreshing Green tea, creating a perfect combination to cool you down and wake your taste buds up. Best served iced with a sprig of spearmint, to elevate the wow factor! Steep at 180°F for 2-3 minutes

A pleasantly light and fruity blend. The green tea base has a delicate grassy taste that I quite enjoy.

This is a light, refreshing summer tea. The fruit flavors are well-balanced, not overpowering. It would probably taste great iced.

Not a bad tea. The aroma is overall quite pleasant. You get that vegetal green note mingling with summer berry. The scent gave an excellent hint as to the flavor profile that you will be met with.
While hot, it is a lovely, light grassy flavor with mild notes of berry weaving in and out. After letting it cool, the berry flavor became a little more heightened.
I never got any melon from this tea, but regardless, it is still quite a nice sipper.

I'm not big on green teas. This one is very good cold brewed. I add in a bit of extra fruit as I like a bolder taste, but a very nice tea. I'm not big on this one hot, but that's only because I'm not really a green tea fan.

This was a pleasant green tea with raw honey added. I didn’t really taste the fruit flavors however.

I usually don't like green teas but this was fruity and improved with a sweetener and as it cooled.

Lots of interesting looking fruits in this dried tea. The initial smell once I cold brewed it seemed a bit weedy to me. Sadly, I couldn't detect flavor from any of the fruits in this, it just tasted like green tea water.

This is a nice green tea with a nice berry flavor. I don’t taste the melon very strongly, but it is in there. I enjoy this one hot or iced.

As refreshing as a juicy bite of watermelon! Those interested in green tea for the health benefits (but who aren't fond of the typical grassiness that goes with it) will enjoy this one. It's a sweet, cooling blend that revitalizes with a fruity kick of strawberry, apple, and watermelon. Perfect for the summer!

Pretty tasty! It's very fruity, to the point where you can barely taste the green tea. Having it iced mellows it out nicely, but it's still good hot as well.

I’ve been drinking a lot more green teas and trying to find a nice fruit flavor. Well this tea was perfect for me. I loved the watermelon and strawberry flavor. It’s the perfect summer tea

The green tea and berry flavors in this tea were nice but not particularly confident in their presence. I didnt get much watermelon flavor but that is a difficult flavor to reproduce. I also got a waxy taste that I tend to get from natural flavor additives. Fine, but wont be getting again.

I thought it would be better for a melon and fruity tea but I didn’t care for it.

Nice iced green tea. Melon and berry flavors predominantly forward, and finishes with a nice grassy green tea flavor.

This tea was a nice change of pace for me, as I am used to drinking mostly unflavored green teas. While the strong smell of flavoring coming directly from the packet when opened was off putting to me, once brewed at the recommended 180 degrees for 2 1/2 minutes it was a very pleasant, smooth green tea with a non-overwhelming amount of fruit flavoring. I'm not very good at picking out nuanced flavors and I drink most flavored teas with sugar, but I still enjoyed the first half of my cup without sugar, and the sugar I added to the second half enhanced the fruit flavors that were already present. I'm not sure I would buy this tea for myself because I prefer flavored black teas, but it was still more than pleasant enough.

I think the green tea was a good vehicle for the other flavors. I primarily tasted berry with some subtle melon while the green tea just kind of danced in the background. I really enjoyed it as is, no sweetener required.

Mostly berry and green with only slight melon flavor. I would like it more with stronger watermelon taste, but it's not bad.

I loved this tea but hoped the green tea flavors would have been more prominent. The watermelon and strawberry were a knockout combo but the green barely showed up to the count.

The scent of the tea is very green, grassy - not much fruit fragrance, which usually comes along with fruit infused teas.
The first steep was strong, had a bit of dry, grassy flavor, but the strawberry flavor was also predominant, even when hot (usually I don't notice fruit flavors until the tea has cooled a bit).
As it cooled the strawberry showed it's full potential - sweet & just a bit tart from the hibiscus.
I managed 3 steeps from my serving. The strawberry flavor stood strong through the first 2 steeps, but it reasonably more subdued by the time I got to the 3rd. However the natural green tea flavor was still present and enjoyable. I didn't notice a distinct watermelon flavor at any point, so it either just melded with the berry flavor - and/or it just wasn't the strong.
I sweetened all 3 steeps with sugar.
Steeped (1) 175F 2.5m, (2) 180F 3m, (3) 180F 4m

Just not my cup of tea I guess. The green tea didn't come through as much as I would have liked, although it was a very nice tea flavor without lots of grassiness and little astringency. The watermelon is an odd flavor in tea for me, but it was very much present, along with the sweet berry taste. Probably better iced; I only had it hot.

While iced, this is incredibly refreshing. There's a light taste of classic summer fruits, with no element overpowering the others.

The strawberry is predominant in this blend with a hint of watermelon. I love all fruit flavored green teas so this was a win-win for me!

This tea smells phenomenal. Really strong watermelon flavor. Personally for me I would like to have a more strong green tea flavor as in this one the green tea is in the background, but if someone wants a watermelon green tea this is def the one to get

I love watermelon and was very excited to try this one. Especially iced. Yum

Pleasantly subtle flavor, not as sweet as I was expecting from the smell. Can get 2 infusions out of it. It's pretty good hot, but I imagine it would really shine as an iced tea.

There is a lot of melon going on with the tea, but if that's your thing then go for it! It won't disappoint :)

This is a very good green tea. The flavors are subtle, and sometimes it's hard to taste the melon, but it's still present and overall the tea is very refreshing, especially as an iced tea on a hot summer day.

This is hands down my favorite green tea. Not too sweet, but no bitterness, and such a real melon flavor. Really really delicious.

This tea smells like melons and tastes like melons. It's so good. One of my favorite teas.
