Head off on a mini vacation with each sip of our Papaya Pouchong. This fruit-filled blend evokes island flavors for a tropical treat any time of year. The incredibly smooth profile of pouchong lays the perfect foundation allowing the bright papaya notes to really shine. Enjoy both hot or iced!

The fruit flavor is subtler than I would have expected, but the flavor is good nonetheless, more of a floral than anything. Very smooth and light - it's easy drinking.

a very nice tropical blend coming out of this tea. Lemongrass and papaya blended quite well. Disappointing that is on the chopping block.

This is a rather nice tea. The fruity notes compliment the pouchong rather well.

Not much papaya flavor from this tea. The pouchong overpowers it, and the herbacious taste to this tea is not really my cup of tea. My taste buds just seem to not gravitate to pouchong.

This was a very easy to drink tea. Light and smooth. I received a sample in my CommuniTEA box. The fruit flavors were not very obvious and I probably wouldn't have noticed them had I not read the ingredients.

The dried tea has a light tropical papaya smell. I cold brewed it overnight. The tea tasted like a rather typical green tea, with a bit of a grassy flavor. Sadly, I couldn't taste the papaya flavor coming through at all.

This pouchong has a mild papaya flavor that comes forward more as it cools. Overall it’s a very pleasant pouchong that I enjoy drinking.

This is a great blend of oolong and papaya. The taste of the papaya is mild, but the scent is stronger than the flavor.

The oolong tea is very tasty: soft, full and flavorful without bitterness or grassy-green notes. But the papaya and fruit flavors didn't come through.

This is light, fruity, tropical, with a hint of floral in the background. When hot it leans more floral, when warm/iced it is more fruity. I enjoy it both ways equally.

Was hoping for a more fruit forward oolong in this one. Not terrible, but not something I would buy more of.

A lovely tropical tea which has the smoothness of oolong with fruity notes that linger even in the aftertaste!

It's a fairly light, yet tropical tasting tea. Good, but I don't think I'd get it again.

I really can’t decide how I feel about this tea. The flavor isn’t very strong and it’s hard to accurately review

The papaya is certainly unusual, the jury is still out if I'll buy it again...

I love papaya so I had to give this one a try. Overall I enjoyed it and despite the light color, it still had a pronounced, refreshing flavor. Not my favorite, but still pleasing nonetheless. I only wish the papaya flavor was a bit stronger. It's there, but the other flavors including the lemongrass seem to overpower it.
