Cucumber Melon/Culinary Teas. . . . .

by Mary

Fellow sisters of the 90s, two words: cucumber. melon. Now, if you’re anything like me, you were just insta-transported to your bathroom cabinet stocked with matching body lotions, shower gels, and body sprays all smelling identically of summery melon cucumber goodness. And gosh darn it if this tea isn’t a dead ringer for that super-nostalgic scent. Full green tea leaves are perfectly paired with big slices of dehydrated cucumber pieces of this dry leaf, brewing up to a light and fresh, golden-y green. If you like your teas a little more savory, as-is leaves a perfectly fresh and delightful drink that is reminiscent of spa water, with more of an emphasis on the cucumber than the melon. With just a splash of lemonade, the melon is beautifully highlighted– and friends, this is like Bath & Body Works in a cup. It’s fresh and fruity and cucumber-y, with perfectly light and sweet honeydew melon undertones.

Who would I recommend this tea for? Frankly, if at any point you’ve had: a Lisa Frank binder, kept all your nail polish in a caboodle, or have squealed your way through a Bath & Body Works 75% off sale at least once in your life, add this one to your cart for summertime sipping. You won’t be disappointed!

Hi there! I'm Mary, a 27-year-old mental health professional living with my fiancé and our quirky kitten in the Midwest! I've loved tea for as long as I can remember-- in fact, I have vivid memory of being four or five in a tea shop and being mesmerized by all the tea flavors and proclaiming that I "was going to be kind of adult who drank tea, not coffee." A stint living (and tea-drinking my way through) London and twenty-some years later, I'm still channeling that sassy four-year-old and loving my tea habit. When I'm not sipping a cuppa, you'll find me reading, doing yoga, traveling, exploring my own city, planning our wedding and experimenting with different healthful and healing foods in my kitchen.

Cool Cucumber Melon Green from Stylin’ Tea Blends

by teaequalsbliss

This tea would be as COOL AS A CUCUMBER except for I drank it HOT! That’s right…Cool Cucumber Melon Green from Stylin’ Tea Blends!

Cool Cucumber Melon Green from Stylin’ Tea Blends has flatter pressed and dried green tea leaves that are medium in length and aromatic in their own right but what makes this flavored green tea special is the cucumber! LARGE circular, thinly sliced cucumber pieces that have also been dried, of course.

If you LOVE cucumbers I’m assuming you will LOVE this tea! Lucky for me I’m a cucumber fan! Cool Cucumber Melon Green from Stylin’ Tea Blends is incredibly cool, hydrating, fresh, and sweet smelling AND tasting!

I started off with a hot cup of Cool Cucumber Melon Green from Stylin’ Tea Blends and my the end of the cup it was about ‘luke warm’ and I can tell you that I already know this would be delightful ICED, too! If you have had cucumber infused water and enjoyed it this might be up your alley, too!

I can’t wait to share this one with the other Sororitea Sisters to read their take on it. In the meantime I just might have to add Cool Cucumber Melon Green from Stylin’ Tea Blends to my favorite flavored green teas of the moment.
