This came to me in a swap with JennyFur and I was super excited to give it a taste.
As I have mentioned many times before, my roommate is not a huge fan of flavored teas. And if you had not guessed, I am all about the flavored teas. So a lot of the time we might both like a tea but to varying degrees as in things I love, she thinks are just ok and vice versa. However, every once in a while we land on a tea that we both agree is pretty amazing.
Cactus Flower is one of those teas. Like the other teas we both really like, such as Jessie’s Tea and Caesar’s Provence, this tea is flavorful enough to appease me while not being in-your-face bold about their flavors. Instead there is a delicateness that makes this for a very pleasant and calming tea. This is sweet but in a subtle way. It has a hint of peach/mango fruitiness that hits your tongue just as you finish and pleasantly stays behind in the aftertaste. There is even a bit of floral to this, which most of the time I would be against, but it definitely works in this cup.
If this were still available it would definitely be making it into my Della Terra order but I guess I will just have to savor what is left of the sample I have. Thank you JennyFur for being kind enough to share this delicious tea with me!!!

Seriously one of my favorite teas ever. It reminds me of Lychee in the best possible way, which is interesting as its floral. But I was so surprised with how much I loved it.
Too bad it was not available on Della Terra – I just placed an order and I surely world have bought a fair amount of this!!
