Passionately Orange Green Tea - Fusion Tea Room

The very generous and lovely Fusion Tea Room sent me a couple of teas to sample, and immediately upon receiving them I couldn’t wait to see what this one would taste like. The smell is very, very intriguing with the perfume of papaya lingering about. I was feeling pretty creative tonight and decided to make a pitcher of iced tea with fresh orange slices. I used the entire sample contents, about 6 heaping teaspoons to 4 cups of water. I let the tea steep for 3 minutes, then poured over a pitcher filled with ice and threw in one sliced orange. The result was great - very refreshing! I could have made it a little bit more tea concentrated, but with the weather outside, I’ll be able to have the entire pitcher to myself tonight. The sliced orange is a great pair with the slight tang the tea has, and the green tea flavour comes out in perfect balance. The only bad thing I can say about this tea is that I’m not so much of a fan of the papaya that was added. It throws me off a little, but it’s still a very enjoyable cup overall.
