Ahmad Tea Apricot Fruit Black Tea - 20 Teabag Sachets

Product Information

In Latin apricot means 'precious', a label earned because it ripens earlier than most summer fruits. This dates back to 2737 BCE, or so the story goes, when a Chinese Emperor named Shennong came to rest underneath a tree, falling asleep in the sun with a cup of boiling water by his side. Heart Health: Regular consumption of black tea has been linked to a lower risk of heart disease, owing to its ability to help regulate cholesterol levels. The sweet flavour of apricots blended with Ceylon and Keemun black teas make for a sweet, mellow cup.

Caffeine : The caffeine content is between 40 and 50 milligrams of caffeine in a typical eight-ounce cup.This loose black tea offers an authentic flavour and aroma of apricots in a marvellous blend that pairs perfectly with scones or chocolate, cookies or cake. Apricot Tea, a variant of flavoured loose leaf Chinese Black Tea, stands as a testament to the art of blending traditional and contemporary flavours. The new blend is pleasant enough but doesn't come close to the intensity and true flavour of the original apricot tea that I so loved. For a truly authentic taste, consider using filtered water free from any impurities that could potentially interfere with the flavour of the tea.

Today, Green Tea, as well as Black Tea, White Tea and Oolong Tea, can be flavoured with almost anything imaginable.

I loved Teavana and was so hopeful that Tealeavz Maharaja Chai Oolong would be a good substitute; however, the flavor is too far off. The balance of brisk and robust black teas, fruity dried apricot pieces and nutty marzipan notes have made this a popular Ahmad Tea blend for over 20 years.
