Isserly drank Goji Pop by DAVIDsTEA

This tea was light and beautiful. Like a hint of summer on a cold day. As for the taste aspect, I like that it rolled off my tongue and while the flavor was not as potent as I expected it, the overall impression I have from it is positive. Definitely a must have for those that like their tea not to have a so serious attitude. I just had a sampling of it.

ooo what does that tea taste like it sounds so cool✸✸✸

Legend has it that Li Ching-Yun was born in China in 1677 and died 256 years later in New York. His secret? Goji berries. Your secret? This hot pink tea filled with sweet, sweet goji berries, rosehips, citrusy lemon oil, apple, melon, marigold and hibiscus. It’s probably the most delicious longevity formula ever. Which is key, since you’ll be popping it for the next two centuries. Caffeine-free.

Steep Time: 5 minutes

Dry Leaf Nose: Very fruity.

Liquor: Bright pink with an tangy aroma.

Flavour: Sweet and sour. Slightly tart with a hint of fruitiness.

I must admit I was very surprised by this one. I have had Goji Pop before but only ever as iced tea and usually like it quite a lot. 

However, I always found the iced version to be lacking flavour. Surprisingly the hot version seemed to have a great deal more flavour, but also a great deal more tangy sourness. And while I love a good dose of sweet/sour as much as the next guy, as I've mentioned in the past I'm less fond of hot drinks being sour.

That said, it is one of my go to iced drinks and I will continue to drink it iced. I don't think however that I'd have it hot again any time soon.

I just made, quite possibly, the best purchase I will make all summer (with the exception of the Air Conditioner because.. well.. that's just obvious).

First, I went to David's Tea and I bought The Steeper

I'm telling you right now, this thing is amazing. I love me some iced tea but it's always a hassle so I just drink nestea. Along comes The Steeper. Just do the little trick over a glass full of ice, and bam. Iced tea.

I also bought some Goji Pop tea, and Mint Chocolate Rioobos because they are delicious.

Then a plain old "tumbler" glass, as they're calling them these days

And now I have delicious goji pop iced tea!
