Description
Apricot Green captures the essence of these early-season fruits. The cup has a light body, with a clear apricot taste that never overwhelms the green tea: perfect balance. The clean, dry finish leaves you craving another sip. This tea feels uplifting, and brings to mind new beginnings.
We seek authenticity in our fruity blends: nothing artificial or overly sweet. For example, consider the similarities between tea and apricots. Both have abundant, naturally occurring tannins, which can leave that dry, astringent feeling in your mouth. In this particular blend, that crisp aftertaste echoes the true feeling of biting into an apricot, fresh from the tree. The experience feels true and invigorating.
Some people enjoy the astringency in tea, while some people don’t. Remember, if your green tea tastes at all bitter, simply lower your water temperature or reduce your steeping time for a smoother cup. Or, if you like tea with a little more bite, add a minute to your steep time. Once you find the perfect method for your tastes, you might end up doing what we do: brew Apricot Green all summer long, and drink it chilled from the fridge. Or when the weather turns cold, a hot mug of Apricot Green evokes the next turning of the season.
We hope you enjoy this apricot blend as much as we do. Cheers from Lake Missoula!

As described, clean and refreshing. The Apricot is evident but not too strong. I like this as an afternoon tea–a bit of caffeine, not too much. Generally with green teas I have had difficulty getting the water temperature correct so as not to be too bitter. Pouring the heated water into a mug and testing with a thermomemter before steeping works. you can then add a bit of cold water if it is still too hot.
We first tried the Apricot Green tea when we were visiting my brother in Missoula. I am hooked on it and have been ordering it online ever since. Please continue to offer this. I make a half gallon at a time and keep it in the refrigerator.
Hi Marie, We’ve had Apricot Green for years and plan to keep offering it! We agree it’s delicious cold ; ) Happy to hear you love it, LMTC
This tea has a bright fresh flavor. The apricot is delicious and balances well with the green tea.
