Comments about Teavana Apricot Caramel Torte Green Tea:

This tea is extremely sweet smelling, but in an artifical way. Once brewed it is just fruity and weak. I used more, and it tasted bitter. I mixed it with the Vert Au Lait tea (because I could not stomach that one alone - weak and gross) but it didn't help either tea. I definitely would not repurchase this tea.

Comments about Teavana Apricot Caramel Torte Green Tea:

This is one of the first teas I ever purchased from Teavana. Although I own many more kinds now I do come back to this one often. It has an absolutely amazing smell and beautiful pink color, but the taste, while good, isn't quite as impressive. The apricot notes definitely stand out above any caramel notes, but it's still a delicious fruity green tea. It tastes more herbal than it does green, so if you are looking for the "green" flavor I would blend with another of Teavanas plain green teas.

Comments about Teavana Apricot Caramel Torte Green Tea:

First you need to use double the amount to even get anything resembling a flavor from this blend. Then if you steep this too long you get a weak tea with a bitter bite.

Comments about Teavana Apricot Caramel Torte Green Tea:

This tea has a cloying scent of caramel, but tastes strongly only of the beetroot and carrot used to color it, giving it an unpleasant metallic taste. This is possibly the worst flavored green tea I've ever tried, and certainly the worst I've purchased from Teavana.

Comments about Teavana Apricot Caramel Torte Green Tea:

This tea smells absolutely AMAZING. The flavor in a way doesn't live up to the smell of it brewing, but its definitely still yummy. I was hoping for a little more caramel in the taste, but it does have a nice, light, fruity flavor to it with a hint of creaminess.

Comments about Teavana Apricot Caramel Torte Green Tea:

I purchased this tea because it smelled so wonderful in the store. However, it brewed not so great. It is nice to look at, but to be honest, there is so many other things besides the tea in the mixture that there isn't enough tea! It was too weak. I mixed with an apricot honeybush that I already own and it came out better.

Bottom line: Mix this tea with something else.

Comments about Teavana Apricot Caramel Torte Green Tea:

This is a good tea, but it's not what I thought it would be. If you weren't told that this is a green tea, you would probably have no idea. It should be considered to be a very good, very fruity herbal tea.

Comments about Teavana Apricot Caramel Torte Green Tea:

Fantastic for pleasure sipping anytime. The apricot and caramel flavors are forward but there are subtle citrus elements that enhance the blend. Not too subtle, not too heavy. A wonderful tea for reading or relaxing.

A little disappointed

Comments about Teavana Apricot Caramel Torte Green Tea:

I spend a lot of time at Teavana and don't shop anywhere else for tea. This is the only one that I don't care for so far. I think it's because, I'm not a big fan of green tea, and it is too light of a taste for me. I was drawn to the name - because it sounded delicious. It's not bad; it's just not like the stronger teas that I've gotten used to.

I love this tea. I make it with honey on the stove then use ice. I do not like this as a hot tea. Add On to this tea. I like to blend this with Sencha green tea and almost any oolong.

Comments about Teavana Apricot Caramel Torte Green Tea:

This is a very tasty tea but as mentioned in the heading, it is not "green" tasting. In fact, I'd categorize it as more of a hibiscus tea than a green one due to its bright and fruity flavor as well as its hot pink color. I was intrigued by the ingredients and it is a great after-food tea although if you enjoy the earthiness of regular green teas, you may want to supplement this one with a more standard green like gunpowder, jasmine, etc.

Comments about Teavana Apricot Caramel Torte Green Tea:

OK, this is my new favorite Green! Finally. I have a problem with Green Tea. As much as I try to love it, I just kind of come up short. Until I started ordering from Teavana! Now I love them, and the Apricot Caramel is simply delish! It's wonderful as an after dinner tea. I also love the Japanese Wild Cherry as well. Now I am a well rounded tea enthusiast!

Great with scones, or just by itself.
