Apricot Green

Description

Green tea from China with the delicate flavors of apricots. Makes a light and refreshing drink that's popular both hot and iced. If you are new to green tea, this lightly flavored tea may be a good place to start.

Story

In Latin apricot means "precious," a label earned because it ripens earlier than most summer fruits. A relative of the peach, the apricot was originally found growing wild on the mountain slopes of China more than 4,000 years ago. Apricots progressively made their way through the Persian Empire to the Mediterranean where they were fondly adopted. Spanish explorers introduced the apricot to the New World, and they were planted in the gardens of Spanish missions all over California. The first recorded major production of apricots in America was in 1792 south of San Francisco.

"The apricot's very mild in this tea, but I surprisingly liked it that way. It's such a light tea, it was really good."

"One of my favorites! It has been out of stock for so long and I miss it! Smooth flavor-not over powering at all. It is light but full of flavor. I do not like apricots but i LOVE this tea! I miss this tea and hope it is available soon!"

"A great, flavorful and aromatic green tea. Like citron green, it's a great tea to get started on in the world of greens if you're a little apprehensive about getting something traditional. "

"This tea is great on it's own or added to the blood orange herbal for a tea that's both healthy and flavorful!"

"The apricot and green tea flavors are well-balanced and a great match. I drink it hot nearly every morning, and keep a pitcher of it in the fridge!"
