Arizona Mandarin Orange Green Tea
Posted on Sunday, February 21st, 2010
With hints of honey jasmine and ginseng, Arizona Mandarin Orange Green Tea is a fruity hot tea treat that comes sealed in one of the most attractive packaging get-ups, don’t you think? A sniff of the tea bag before brewing will get you in the right state of mind to enjoy the uplifting oranginess. I usually find that green teas are criticized for blandness and the inability to hold added flavor. However, I’m quite pleased with this selection. Besides, I think it’s pretty hard to deviate from the sweet and distinct flavor of the orange.
Upon inhaling the brew, a dreamy orange scent blankets the nose. To me, the tea is smooth and great for calming the throat. Other ingredients include tangerine, orange peel, rose hips, and hibiscus …a rather striking flower I might add. After reading the back of the box, I’ve learned that Arizona tea has paired up with Bigelow Tea to produce their line of hot teas – something I did not know. I remember Bigelow Tea sitting way back in the cabinets of my parent’s house when I was a child.
All in all – this flavor of Arizona hot tea has my seal of approval.
From the sound of your review, this is definitely a tea I will try. I love green tea and with mandarin orange, it sounds dreamy.
