Pear & Pomegranate
Name: Pear & Pomegranate
Kathy's Rating: 6.5/10.0
Company: Tealuxe
Origin of tea: China
Price: $5/50g (1.76oz)
Tea form: Loose pear and pomegranate flavored black tea.
What they say: A blend of China black tea with natural fruit flavors and scents. Pomegranates with a tart but fresh taste and pears produce a sweet, light flavor. The two working together yield a truly singular effect. A sophisticated blend that can be enjoyed any time of day. Exceptional with dessert.
Preparation method: Pour boiling water over tea. Steep for 4 minutes.
Review: Tealuxe is usually pretty good at creating fruit blends. This tea is no exception to that norm. Pear & Pomegranate has a smooth, slightly fruity taste that is mostly pear. I could not really taste the pomegranate at all. This is really a pear black tea.
As far as the black tea component goes, it's not of the highest quality. But then again, why use the highest quality black leaf tea, just to have that taste overpowered by the pear? Still, I can't help but wonder what a pear infused Tippy Yunnan would be like? Probably even better than this still pretty decent blend.
