It's hard to believe, but there are actually people in this world who do not care for tea! Not hot tea, and not iced tea. They just do not like tea, period! When you ask someone who is of the non-tea persuasion why this is so, they usually answer you with a statement such as "Tea has such a bland taste! It's not like coffee... coffee has a rich, bold taste. Tea is so... wimpy. It's for little old ladies!" Obviously, someone like this is no tea connoisseur, nor can they appreciate the many different varieties of tea that are available in a cornucopia of tantalizingly delicious flavors. And, someone like this has no idea about how exciting it is to experiment with tea to discover, among other things, which varieties are excellent iced in a tall glass as well as hot in a delicate bone china cup.

Add to the tea varieties the array of flavored teas, and you could just about sample a different variety every day of the year. I am an iced tea devotee. I have practically made a hobby out of testing just as many different teas as I can get my hands on. Testing them as iced tea, not hot tea. I can't say that any of them have been too bad - even the varieties which are not usually served as iced tea. As it is getting close to summer, I can thoughtfully reflect that this is the best time of year to enjoy iced tea. And, fruit-based teas just seem to go along with summertime nicely.

So, I have been sampling and testing as many different fruity teas as I have been able to either find locally, or order online. And, I've found one that is most definitely going to go on my top 10 All-Time Favorites list. It's Honey Pear tea. It's an amazingly delicious choice that can't help but stand out among its many rivals in the tea time tests.

I tried the Honey Pear black tea, and was blown away. It was superb! An extremely high quality black tea that would have been stunning all by itself, mixed with the flavor of lovely ripe pear and golden honey. The taste was as sweet as you would expect with two sweet ingredients such as honey and pear, but surprisingly bold... definitely not a "wimpy" tea! This tea is wonderful iced, and holds its bold flavor even after some of the ice melts and weakens it a bit.
