Apricot Green Review

Image from Adagio.com

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.
Description from Adagio.com

Smell:
The smell is phenomenal. I'm definitely reminded of apricots here. It's slightly subtle and it's very sweet. If you like apricots, you will love how this smells. This is what I enjoy from most teas. I believe that the warmness of a tea's scent adds so much.

Taste:
This tea arrives upfront at you with that basic green tea flavor. I wished Adagio added more details to what kind of green tea they blended the apricots with. The only detail they put out is that it's from China. On the mid palate of this tea, you will get that subtle sweetness from the apricots. This tea goes down very smooth as well.

The aftertaste is very interesting. It's as if the apricots leave a fresh sensation in your mouth. It's hard to describe. It's especially great right after the smooth transition from the back end palate of this tea. It's a slight invigorating feeling in your mouth when you're done. You may or may not notice it, but it's very refreshing.

Overall:
This is a good tea for any loose green tea beginner to try out. Even if you don't like apricots, you will appreciate the sweetness that is provided by them here. It's not a strong apricot flavor either, so don't get too nervous. This is a smooth and relaxing green tea to have on a afternoon.

Although I love the subtlety of white teas, I'm slowly getting accustomed to green teas like these. And obviously, this was something different from the Genmai Cha I reviewed awhile ago, even though that was a green tea, haha.
