Would anyone like some persimmon tea?
I bought a canister of persimmon flavored white tea. I hadn't tried persimmon before, so I thought what the heck. :shrug:

I don't care for the perfumy flavor. :P

It's an almost full can of tea bags. The brand is Republic of Tea.

I'll send it to you free of charge.

1. If no one else chimes in I'd be interested.
I've never tried it but its supposed to be good for people with allergies, so that makes me curious.


But if someone knows that they like it already I'll happily withdraw. :)

2. I'd rather give it to someone who can appreciate it

You're certainly welcome to it.

Republic of Tea is a great brand. I'm always happy with the quality of the tea. And white tea has even more antioxidants than green tea. ;-)

3. I was surprised to find that it has anti-allergic properties.
And lots of amino acids and C.
I drink a variety of teas but I've never even looked at persimmon.

6. Didn't know that about the anti-allergens
for persimmons. My aunt was crazy about them. Persimmon jelly especially.

Amazing.

4. I like it. I have some from Trader Joe's, so it's not the same brand, but it is labeled
as the same thing.

But I don't need it and think you should send it to someone who may not be able to afford it, or would find it a special treat.

I am merely recommending it.

:hi:

8. I'm glad you enjoy it!
It amazes me how may products TJs has. Persimmon tea sounds so obscure to me. :-)

5. I like flavored white teas, which is odd because I HATE flavored black teas.
Please send me some of that tea through the InterTubes.

9. I love honeysuckle but I've never had it as tea
Edited on Fri Feb-27-09 02:02 PM by Lucinda
I have a clump that I planted on he side of the house that our office and bedroom are on. LOVE the fragrance. And I've tasted fresh honeysuckle. Just never the tea. Is it honey-esque?

10. Oh, it's the same brand
Republic of Tea white tea with honeysuckle. There's a slight hint of honey in the background, but there's no sugar.

I used to love pulling about honeysuckle blossoms and sucking out the nectar as a kid. :D

;-)

11. Yep. It's great. Didn't discover it until I moved to the South.
Edited on Fri Feb-27-09 06:29 PM by Lucinda
It sounds perfect.
