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

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 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

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.
