DAVIDsTEA loose leaf white tea 'white dragonfruit' cold brew

Tea: 
DAVIDsTEA loose leaf white tea 'white dragonfruit' cold brew

Meet White Dragonfruit Cold Brew Tea, AKA the mother of all dragon (fruit) teas. Thanks to a perfectly balanced blend of tart hibiscus and hydrating dragon fruit with hints of floral white tea and juicy strawberry, you get all the flavour with none of the bitterness. Steep in cold water for 10+ minutes and enjoy the summer breeze while fresh, tropical notes nurture you to bliss. This not-too-sweet cold brew knows best, baby!

What makes it great:
Dragon fruit and white tea are loved for their skin-loving antioxidants. What a perfect pairing!
Steep this cold brew for only 10+ minutes to get the full body of flavour without any bitterness or hot water required.

It’s hot outside, so cool down with a pitcher of White Dragonfruit. Keep it in the fridge for all-day sipping or serve at a pool party with friends.

52Teas Loose Leaf White Tea 'Apple Jack’s Apple Harvest Shou Mei'

Tea Information:
Tea: Apple Jack’s Apple Harvest Shou Mei
Type: White Tea
Packaging: Loose Leaf
Company: 52Teas
Purchase: Here
Description: Our Tea of the Week for the Week of September 15, 2014
Dear Princess Celestia Readers,
I’m not really a brony. I wouldn’t be ashamed to say so if I was, but I think it would be an insult to the passion of real bronies to claim to be. Instead, I am the father of a seven year-old daughter who LOVES the ponies. I have seen enough episodes (several of which I have seen countless times) to understand the passion of the true fans. It is a beautifully animated, well written, acted and produced series.
I actually created this tea and THEN thought it would be fun to tie it in with Apple Jack. I thought that perhaps my daughter (and maybe a few other people out there on the wide web) would get a kick out of it, no pun intended. I sincerely hope that the powers that be don’t sue us–remember, friendship is magic, and I don’t have any money anyway. Incidentally, thanks very much to Ketcham1009 for the beautiful vector art licensed under creative commons.
The Tea
YEE HAW! Listen up, everypony: this tea is a delicious blend of hay-like shou mei white tea, freeze-dried red-delicious- and granny smith- apples and organic flavors. This tea tastes like heaven and is great hot or iced. Don’t be surprised if drinking it leaves you uttering strange phrases like, “What in the hay is going on?”

52Teas Loose Leaf White Tea 'Cantaloupe Watermelon'

Tea Information:
Tea: Cantaloupe Watermelon
Type: White Tea
Packaging: Loose Leaf
Company: 52Teas
Purchase: Here
Description: Cantaloupe is one of my all-time favorite fruits and so is watermelon, so when I had the chance, I just couldn’t resist creating this blend of premium white teas, dried cantaloupe, and organic cantaloupe and watermelon flavors. This is a serious glass of refreshment as an iced tea and I’m sure it’s awesome as a hot tea too. I’m already getting a little anxious for spring. I’ve got this week’s tea and next week’s tea already blended up, and they are both on the fruity end of the spectrum. But that’s all I can tell you for now.
