I am a frequent purchaser of this product, usually in bulk. If you are a southerner (or not!) like me who does not care for “southern sweet tea”, but perhaps enjoys a little sweet flavor, this is the tea for you. This tea flavor has been my summer go-to for several years.
This iced tea is OK but not great - the watermelon taste seems weak
This refreshing ice tea is our family favorite and is always along for the lakeside summer vacation. It is so easy to make with the perfect sized tea bag to make enough for everyone. We usually make it as a sun tea rather than boiling the water. Perfect on a hot day!
It's my favorite!
great
I don't normally enjoy watermelon flavored drinks but the watermelon mint iced tea is excellent!
Great for sun tea in the midwest heat! I also use it on stove-brewed tea over ice. Watermelon is my #1 fruit and the mint gives a nice finish. I look forward to brewing this when better weather arrives.
Refreshing
Nice tea brings in summer memories
It's okay. I guess I'd like it to be more watermelony/fruity.
I found this tea long on watermelon and short on mint. It really wasn't my cup of tea, so to speak. it is very light and refreshing, so if you like watermelon, you will probably like this tea.
This is the best tea ever, the flavors are not over bearing and over ice make the perfect summertime beverage
Great over ice
I bought some of this for my family, and while it is not everybody's favorite, we all still enjoy it. We love to have it with bruised lime mint.
Wonderful and refreshing.
This is my kids favorite iced tea, it is so easy to make and a great healthy option.
Love this tea and buy it all the time
I love this tea! It delivers on both mint and watermelon flavors for those of us who prefer tea without added sugar. I grew up on Lipton Iced Tea, unsweetened because Memaw added sweet-n-low, which I did not like the taste of! Although I still enjoy Southern iced tea, it is typically entirely too sweet for me, so I mix the unsweetened with a little fruit juice. This was a convenient upgrade for me!
Has an unfortunate aftertaste.
I could taste more mint than watermelon but it was still refreshing. nice taste.
This is so refreshing. The watermelon and mint flavors complement each other and one doesn't overpower the other. Both flavors are there. My only complaint is that you have to use 2 bags to get a pitcher of tea.
just bad tasting
This is my favorite ice tea. The flavor is subtle and especially nice with a watermelon wedge or some added mint to your glass. The pouches are very easy to make a quick pitcher of tea, I love it.
Family favorite. I'm not allowed to run out! Delightful blend of black tea and watermelon. I use two iced tea bags for my 2 quart iced tea maker and its perfect.
This tea tastes so refreshing it's great for summer days working in the garden.
Great iced tea. However I wish that they would make a white watermelon mint tea.
I was very surprised with this yummy tea. Figured I would give it a try and I'm very happy I did. The watermelon is subtle jot on your face. Very nice.
What a delightful surprise! Was a little hesitant smelling it in the bag. But after brewing, it was so good! Strong black tea with a background flavor of watermelon and very light mint. Watermelon is so hit and miss in drinks because it can be so artificial, but this was a hit! Not artificial at all. Will be getting a bag for the summer.
Watermelon and mint make a great combination in this ice tea. Perfect for sipping on a hot summer day .. both flavors are subtle but you can add fresh mint leaf to bring out that minty sip! I love this tea!
I like the idea of this tea - watermelon and mint - yum! But it was just a hint of flavor and I wanted more. I like the other mint teas from RoT and this one was more subtle. Adding a bit of sweetener helped bring out the flavors. It's definitely a summer tea that I enjoyed.
Republic's 'Watermelon Mint Black Tea' has a perfectly wonderful flavor balance - a light-tasting black tea with standout watermelon flavor and a refreshing backdrop of mint. Wouldn't change a thing! Very pleasant! Tried a sample. Will be purchasing a full size next time. Much enjoyed by both my mother and me. Highly recommend! Thank you! ♡
I absolutely love this tea! It is summer in a glass!
It had no watermelon or mint flavor and was bitter
I use cold brew with this tea and it’s perfect for me.
Great flavor. This is so refreshing on a hot summer day!
I was so excited to get this tea today, only to be disappointed. I made it exactly like it says on the can. The watermelon flavor that is present is like the taste of watermelon when it’s gone bad. At least that’s what I think. I had my husband try it as well. He said the same thing without me prompting him. I also didn’t taste the mint. Maybe to me the watermelon flavor over powdered the mint. I’m glad some like it. Just not my cup of tea. LOL!
This has a good flavor, but it tastes weak. I followed the directions exactly, but it tastes very diluted.
The perfect iced tea for a warm day. Love having this in the fridge
Flavor sounded interesting. Was wonderful! So glad I tried it!
This one sounds so delicious, I love both watermelon and mint flavors in an iced tea, BUT somehow when you make this as directed with hot water the watermelon comes out tasting "over-ripe, and gone-bad", just spoiling the flavor profile enough to not want to drink it again. Nice try but missed on this one.
This tea is meant to be served cold on a hot day. The watermelon flavor comes through nicely and the mint is a nice finish.
While I think RoT varieties are vast, and many a really wonderful, this one wasn't really the tea for me. It wasn't horrible, and it did take like watermelon. I didn't taste the mint.
Could not taste the mint and it had an aftertaste of spoiled watermelon.
This is such an amazing infusion of cool, crisp watermelon and the sparkle of mint flavor to drink on a hot afternoon. This is my go to when working in the garden or relaxing by the pool.
Delivery is so quick!! Staff is very helpful!
This tea is so refreshing! Absolutely one of my favorites! I have been enjoying Republic of tea for a few years now, and just recently tried the iced tea collection, now I'm hooked! I crush some fresh mint into this tea and enjoy it throughout the day. Thank you Republic of Tea, keep them coming!
This is one of my favorite iced tea blends! It is refreshing and well balanced. No jolly rancher watermelon taste and the mint is not over powering. Highly recommend
This is a refreshing iced tea with a hint of melon and mint flavor. It is not too bitter, and the melon/mint flavor is not overwhelming. The tea was easy to prepare.
This is the first flavored iced tea I've made that everyone liked. So good!
This is the most refreshing summertime tea. Great watermelon with a hint of mint. Also shipping was fast and packaging was secure.
I'm not a black tea enthusiast, but I thought I'd give this iced tea a try, since I enjoy watermelon flavor and I wondered how it would taste with a mint flavor added to it. Overall, solid tea...definitely refreshing! Not as good (for me) as their green teas, but this one holds its own!
Delicious not too sweet tea with good flavor and good pick me up from the caffeine. Perfect for a hot summer day!
Loved the watermelon and mint together, I am a huge mint fan! You can definitely taste both of them. Refreshing summer drink!!!
I was looking forward to this tea because it sounded refreshing, but the flavor was bland/blah and not refreshing.
This tea is great! I use it to make sun tea and it makes a very flavorful tea. The watermelon flavor is perfectly paired with a subtle mint flavor. A wonderful product to sip over a glass full of ice while lounging around the pool!
This tea has a lot of flavor, even my daughter will drink it unsweetened. Great for a cool refreshing drink.
Refreshing. Enjoyable. Smooth. YUM!
I've tried a few brands and this is my favorite, it tastes like actual watermelon - not a watermelon-flavored jolly rancher
I find this tea to be minty and refreshing. The caffeine content usually has me reaching for herbal iced teas though.
R of T's super-succulent seasonal sipper is a summertime standard! Featuring the tantalizing taste of sweet and sunny watermelon infused with a subtle hint of mint in a brisk black tea base, this perennial favorite makes the perfect potable for those sweltering dog days which are sure to soon arrive. Creates a pleasing pitcherful of cool that's lip-smackingly delicious, refreshing and totally thirst-quenching!l!!! Whatta melon tea!!!!!!!
Brew a big pitcher, invite a friend and sit outside, enjoying this taste of summer. The watermelon and mint are so refreshing iced.
What better drink for a warm summer day than the flavor of watermelon! The heat starts early here in Texas so always great to have around.
My company always likes this tea. Very refreshing and tasty.
I have tried other brands of watermelon, mint, and none are as good as this!
I love this tea and have not been able to find the same flavor combination anywhere else.
This is to go to iced tea, so I won't be bored with my sweet tea. It's refreshing and jus the right amount of mint and watermelon taste, my most favorite fruit after mango.
This is my husband's & grandson's fave tea , it is refreshing on hot summer days & the watermelon & mint flavor is awesome , reminds us of summer when we are eating a slice of watermelon & drinking meadow tea , we go threw this tea a lot to point I buy in bulk . I thought they would get tired of this tea but nope , I have to keep a pitcher in fridge at least once every two weeks or weekly in summer .
I have only made this iced tea once so far but I didn't think it had enough flavor. My daughter thought it was refreshing. I prefer the Strawberry Basil but she prefers the Watermelon Mint.
Really lovely tea! The watermelon flavor is just right and the mint tastes fresh and cooling.
My primary enjoyment of this tea is as a (for everyone) Summer refresher! Additionally, with fresh mint, sweetener, ice, and actual or alcohol-free bourbon, it makes a lovely "Mint Julep" with a nice watermelon accent. A barbecue favorite!
The watermelon black iced tea is delicious and satisfying. I just ordered more.
I loved this tea so much that I decided to buy the bulk size (bag). However, this was too minty; and, what happened to the watermelon? I will drink it, but I am so disappointed that I bought 40 bags and it tastes so different than before.
The watermelon does not taste fresh. Will not buy again.
It's all about individual preferences. I don't really care for this flavor
Every time I serve this tea to someone for the first time, they take a sip and immediately remark how good it tastes. Most people ask me for the brand name and end up ordering tea for themselves. It's a delightfully pleasant alternative to hum drum tea that keeps you coming back for refills. It also pairs well with Ginger Peach tea for an interesting ice tea combination. Awesome product!
Delicious, refreshing, calorie free iced tea- no sugar, all flavor!
I love the watermelon mint iced tea. It's so refreshing. In fact, I pretty much love all the teas I get from Republic of Tea. I'm addicted to the ginger peach black tea and I drink it every morning. The wild blueberry is also a favorite. If you enjoy drinking tea, I really don't think you can go wrong with any teas from Republic.
Everyone should have this tea in their stash. Another flavor combo so tasty it needs no sweetener!
This tea has a delicious watermelon flavor! It is perfect for a hot summer day!
We bought the sample packets and loved it so much we bought the big pouch. It is so refreshing, perfect for a hot summer day. We added fresh cucumbers which I highly recommend.
The strawberry basil Is one of my personal favorites. My family also loves the watermelon mint. Both unique and refreshing. They are great for serving friends and family get together's and also just a nice refreshing pick me up to have at lunch or dinner. Highly recommend these
If I wanted somewhat bitter black tea taste, I would not have order Watermelon Mint flavored. I'll be sure to add a mint teabag to the brew.
This sounded really tasty, especially since I make a Watermelon Mint salad sometimes. I made the tea exactly as it said to, and just couldn't get into it. I tried to spruce it up and make it better, but it did not help.
Flavor is very good I made it outside like Sun Tea delicious :-) over ice yum!!!
I wanted the hibiscus sangria tea, but it the store was out so I tried this. I didn't like this tea at all. I really tried to like it, but it was not good to me.
This iced tea is so refreshing! I drink it every day. Although you can taste both the mint and watermelon, neither flavor takes away from the delicious tea taste.
This is my go to iced tea during the summer. Best I have ever tasted. Bought it in bulk this time.
It was excellent- really a pure watermelon taste, yet full-bodied
I thought I'd try this new one. It does have the after taste of watermelon, but I like it better Iced. Maybe because I think of summer. But all in all I did like it.
I love watermelon so I wanted to try this tea and I absolutely love this tea, It is so refreshing and with the hint of mint, YUMMY
Watermelon Mint is my favorite tea.
I received a sample packet of the tea and decided to try the iced tea version. I think you really have to like watermelon taste to appreciate this flavor. I likely will not buy it again based on the fact that I really like it but my husband doesn't. This is the first one he didn't like. I would give it 5 stars but he said one star because the flavor was too strong.
The watermelon mint tea is a great way to cool off in the summer. Wish this came in individual bags so that I can bring along when traveling.
This tea is beyond delicious! Just before you sip, there is a hint of watermelon and mint which makes the tea drinking even better. Tried it for my daughter's bridal shower and it was a hit! Ordered several more tins so I don't run out.
With the right amount of sweetener, this tastes just like watermelon! I wish it came in a decaf version so I could drink it all day.
Summer in an Ice Tea! Refreshing & thirst quenching! Will order this tea again.
I mix this with the Strawberry Hibiscus and lemon zest for iced tea
I purchased several ice tea bags. This one was not my favorite. Maybe I just don't like watermelon
The tea is great for a summer day. It's flavor is natural and delicious!
Sipping on my watermelon tea as I am typing my comments. Taste wonderful and arrived just in time as our area is having triple digit temperatures this week. Just going to sip the sweet watermelon tea and let it work it's magic.
Love this ice tea! Watermelon flavor is just right. Mint is just hint. Perfect. 4 stars because of the cost. Only 8 quarts. I use 2 tea bags for a two quart pitcher.
I love iced tea. I was sent a sample of this and fell in love! Ordered the entire lineup. This is hands down the best. Very refreshing, perfect combo of sweet fruit and crisp mint. Add a touch of raw sugar and you've got the best treat in a glass.
If you live in the south, you love sweet tea and most likely watermelon as well. This is the perfect blend of the two (once you add sugar of course) with a hint of freshness from mint right at the end. Definitely nice on a hot summer day or for a barbecue beverage!
This is my favorite iced tea. Delicious and refreshing. Not too minty- just the right amount. I love the big bags- so convenient.
Love this tea flavor
absolutely delightful Refreshing hints of watermelon and after tones of mint. (Do not add sugar!)
This tea is so good. Light and refreshing. Recommended by a friend, will buy again.
My husband absolutely loves this tea! He isn't a big iced tea fan but this has been a really hot summer so I wanted him to switch from hot for awhile. This flavor really did the trick! Will be ordering more!
This tea taste great.
I actually received this item in the mail as a sample and I'm so happy I did. I don't drink much tea but plan to branch out and find my muse and I DEFINITELY recommend this tea! super flavorful. Especially the way I prepared it, chilled.
This tea tastes like fresh watermelon with a hint of mint. Delicious! Perfect summertime refreshment!
Great balanced tea perfect for a 1 liter thermos bottle. I wanted a little more mint so i microwaved 1 cup water with a tablespoin of mint jelly. Adds just a little sweetness (way less than Texas Sweet tea.)
I love this stuff, I could literally live on this ALL SUMMER LONG! It's fresh and the flavors are amazing. It's as if I made it from scratch and it's not from a bag, it's so fresh! I LITERALLY had a friend who gave a taste of the tea to say it tasted like I made up this concoction at home from scratch- it's THAT good....
This is a perfect tea for summer. I drink it unsweetened and it is the perfect balance of mint and watermelon flavors even though I'm not a huge mint tea person. I could drink this all day.
I drink iced tea all spring, summer and early fall days. Living in the high desert southwest with mostly sunny and sometimes hot days I want something refreshing to drink and this tea, poured over a tall glass of ice, is a favorite. I make this tea as sun tea, with an added mint teabag or two, in a large glass canning jar. Friends I have served it to rave about it, so I show them the can the tea bags come in so they can purchase their own.
It's hot nearly all year round in Texas so I was happy to try this tea. I combine one bag with two family size bags of regular cold-brew tea in a 3 quart pitcher and it's perfect. Can drink this year round. I't one of the most refreshing teas I've ever found. Next time, instead of the 8-bag canister, I'll be ordering the larger size.
I love this ice tea. It reminds me of the watermelon summers and drinking the juice out of the bowl when the watermelon rind had been scraped clean. Please don't tinker with it! It is perfect!
This tested too much like candy for my taste but it was vastly improved with lime juice. Add the juice of one lime per teabag used
There was a guy handing out cups of this tea at our local store Wegmans in Ithaca New York. I tried it along with my cousin and we both looked at each other in amazement and I asked how much sugar he put in the tea and he said that there was absolutely no sugar. I was so shocked and amazed it is so good you don't need sugar. We just had to purchase a tin and I've been hooked ever since. I am making some sun tea by the gallon today 3 total.
I took a chance on this tea because so many reviewers enjoyed it so much. To me the flavor combination was strange. I would not buy again, especially when RoT has so many nicer teas to make iced tea with.
I was hoping for a little more mint flavor I guess, so was slightly disappointed. Watermelon by itself doesn't have a lot of flavor. This was OK, but I don't know that I'll order it again.
this was my first purchase with ya'll, and I absolutely love this tea. I have served it to friends until it looks like there is no more. I am saving the last can for me. I live at the beach and this tea is so refreshing it is all I have been drinking. Please get some more. I will definitely be back to order more.
I'm not a huge fan of watermelon--natural or artificial. But this tea is amazing and refreshing. It should be a sparkling water flavor.
Thought this would be an ideal iced tea so I wouldn't have to add sweetener. Wrong. It was initially OK going down but left me with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Tried adding some sweetener but it only helped a little. I believe it is the watermelon since I do brew both Spearmint and Peppermint Iced Tea without the problem.
I liked the hint of mint but little watermelon flavor. Still refreshing.
I've been searching for a watermelon tea after drinking some at a restaurant a few years back. I haven't been able to find one that I liked until I came across this! The mint isn't too strong or distracting. The watermelon is a wonderful iced tea flavor. I add this to a regular black tea bag when I brew a quart pitcher of iced tea.
Not only is it delicious, but it definitely quenches my thirst after spending time outside or running errands. I live in the Southwest part of Texas where we have an extended season of hot and warm weather and the Watermelon Mint Green Tea is the best beverage of all because it is very refreshing and yummy!
This is SO good. I was concerned that the mint would overwhelm the watermelon, but that is absolutely not the case. It is a perfect blend of the two and you can taste sweet juicy watermelon and a lovely refreshing, but not overpowering mint, which is hard to accomplish with mint tea blends. This is hands down my favorite ROT iced tea. I've tried the coconut water blends and the sangria and they really can't compare - not that they're bad, but this tea is so much more exceptional. If you like watermelon and light mint, definitely get this!
I found the flavor of this tea to be a little odd. It grew on me, but I probably won't buy it again. The flavor seems a bit artificial.
LOVED IT! Bought at World Market, went home and made it in a fruit infuser pitcher with actual watermelon to add more flavor - was in heaven! Have ordered two more cans, will order more!
this was a very tasty tea!! I was surprised! perfect for summer drinking. I drank it as iced tea!
This tea is so refreshing. The flavor is light but so refreshing. It makes amazing iced tea. No aftertaste just a clean, fresh taste.
To be honest, I don't usually care for watermelon-flavored things, so I wasn't expecting much from this tea. However, it is light, crisp, and refreshing, and has become the go-to beverage for my boyfriend and I. We brew a new 3 quart pitcher every other day all summer!
Wow, nice and subtle hints of watermelon and mint. I mix 3 bags with 3 black tea bags and make a whole gallon of ice tea. It is very summery and refreshing.
This is a favorite tea in the summer. The flavor is delicious.
This is is AMAZING!! It's so fresh and clean tasting! It's the perfect way to refresh yourself on a hot summer day!
The mint is definitely more pronounced. Don't get me wrong, I like mint, but I really thought watermelon was going to be the star here. I do like the fact that there's really no need for any additional sweetener.
Best sun tea I have ever had......I drink it all summer long.
This is the greatest tea. I buy it in bulk & drink it every day. It's also helping me kick my sweet addiction. I started off with 8 packs of stevia in 2 quarts and am now down to only 5. The flavor is awesome
I cold brewed this tea for about 14 hours, and it turned out delicious and refreshing. The taste and aroma of melon was strong, much to my delight. On the other hand, it produced very different reactions among my family members, some of whom thought that mint was the dominant flavor. But this is how it often is with tasting foods, so the varied reactions might not be a big surprise. It is a flavorful, refreshing tea that is worth trying at least once. I know I will be buying it again.
I really wanted to like this tea. I love watermelon and I love mint but this tea tasted very artificial. I thought the watermelon and mint would be subtle but they weren't. I really love Republic of Tea but the few I've tried with mint really missed the mark.
I actually didn't like this tea till I made it at half strength, and then it was perfect! The recommended strength wasn't good at all, but I was surprised what a difference it made to weaken it. Now it's one of my favorites! I'm here to order more.
I tried this tea last summer. First taste - hmmm, different. Second taste - I like it. By the third taste I was hooked. Very nice refreshing tea that everybody that tries it seems to love.
I tried this tea this week and I enjoyed it very much. It's refreshing and not at all bitter.
This is the first tea I bought from the Republic. It got good reviews, but it sounded like a strange combination so I wasn't sure what to expect. This tea is wonderful! The flavors are perfectly balanced, so neither one overwhelms the other. Just a little sugar brings up the flavors. I will be drinking this tea the rest of the summer.
Brewed as instructed, this tea was a quite good. It's definitely one to keep around during the summer!
I bought this a bit hesitantly, but I am glad I did. It's an odd-sounding combo, but it really works. Perfect for sipping on my deck on a hot afternoon.
i love mint and i love watermelon so when i saw this i had to try it. it is wonderfully refreshing and has a nice cool taste.
This sounded like such an odd combination, but to my surprise, it's delicious! Just the perfect amount of flavor - not too overwhelming but very tasty. It's a nice, refreshing summer time drink.
This is the best tea I've ever had in my life. Seriously. Buy it. I could drink this tea every day for the rest of my life. The watermelon flavor shines through beautifully, and there's just enough mint to be refreshing without being overpowering. Absolutely incredible.
The Best Ever!!!! Am not a black tea drinker but when they send the samples I try them. This seemed like a really odd combination of flavors but I was pleasantly surprised. It was wonderful!! Light and refreshing and the flavors were balanced perfectly. I came to the site and ordered away. I also gave this review which is something I never do, but felt this tea was soo good I had to.
Received this in the catalogue and unexpectedly loved it. I'd love to see it in decaf so that I can completely overindulge.
I, too, received this as a sample with a catalog. My first thought was that neither watermelon nor mint appealed to me, much less the combo of both. But, as an R of T addict, I had to at least give it a try. Cut to my empty, still-icy glass moments later and I had to run out and buy a tin. Just made my third purchase of this flavor. The ultimate thirst-quencher!
THE tea for hot, humid summer. Maybe some of my next order will get to a friend or two, find myself hoarding it just for me! Hibiscus is good too, but did not care for the Sangria as much.
This tea is really light and refreshing. It's the perfect tea for summer. My only complaint: There needs to be a bulk bag option for this tea. We're reordering at an astounding rate.
Delicious black tea with watermelon and a hint of mint. Refreshing! Not overpowering in the fruit or mint. I was delighted to get a sample in the catalog and once I tasted it - away I went to my computer to order some for myself and another friend who I thought would love it as well - she did!
A nice, light, refreshing black tea with just the right balance of mint and watermelon flavors. It's naturally sweet so I'm able to prepare it without sugar, which is definitely a plus.
This is my third reorder. I am so stuck on this tea! I wish it also came in a green tea variety. Well done Ministers of Tea, Well doneZ,
Received a sample of this tea with a catalog. Really liked it, unique. Ordered it and the Takeya Flash Chill Iced Tea Maker. Both arrived a few days ago and yesterday was so beautuful and sunny I decided to fill the 60oz Takeya pitcher (2 qts) and add two of the tea pouches. Set it on the porch in the sun and two hrs later...perfect tea. I'm going to order 6-8 tins of this tea for friends and family this summer. Nice thank you gift for someone, am going to surprise my hairdresser with one, 'hostess' gift for summer get-togethers...the ideas are endless. The price is certainly right!!
WATERMELON MINT ICED TEA? 5 TEAPOT RATING ...MOST CERTAINLY! LIGHT, TRUE WATERMELON TASTE WITH A TOUCH OF MINT ... OH, HOW REFRESHING! HOW SPECIAL! AHH! WATERMELON MINT IS A TRUE WINNER! ...JUST IN TIME FOR SUMMER! ...WHAT A DELIGHT! And a special thank you to THE REPUBLIC OF TEA for including a sample of this great new iced tea in the recent catalog. We certainly appreciate allowing us tried-and-true tea drinkers of all varieties to give your new teas a whirl. You providing WATERMELON MINT had me hooked with the sample, resulting in a 4 tin order, in addition to the long list of my other favorite REPUBLIC OF TEA selections! GREAT FLAVOR and one my household will NEVER BE WITHOUT! My household & guests absolutely LOVE ...WATERMELON MINT!
I like to send little surprises in cards to my granddaughter. She loves watermelon so I put the free sample in the last card I sent to her. She loves it and I'm here to order more so I can have a taste! I think it's going to be a big hit this summer in our family!
The thought of watermelon and mint together didn't appeal to me. I also didn't expect much flavor(Sorry but most of the teas I've tried are weak). But I was pleasantly surprised, so much so, I wanted to see what the prices were like. I do wish it came in individual portions. I like it hot. The Watermelon is great I barely taste the mint which is ok. Good job!!
Was worried I wasted my money, but the watermelon flavor is real, just enough, and the mint is not too much like I worried it would be. But a perfect balance; can taste first black tea, then watermelon and the mint is the finish. I used stevia to sweeten it and can't even taste the usually bitter aftertaste of the stevia! (I think the mint covers it) My new favorite!
Who thought of this combination?! I actually had to spit it out. Blackberry Sage is great, and Cranberry Blood Orange is very good for iced tea, but watermelon mint is a truly puzzling flavor.
I just got this sample and am immediately and impatiently purchasing a tin. I'm generally not a fan of black tea blends, I prefer the white or herbal. But this is the most refreshing tea I have tasted in a long time. I would give it ten teapots if it were possible. Yum!
This tea is totally awesome and so refreshing. I just wish it came in bulk loose leaf.
This tastes like real watermelon--as opposed to what I call "watermelon Jolly Rancher flavored." Like many others, I am wishing it came more than 8 bags to a tin, because that won't last a week around here. We take our iced tea seriously here. :)
I received this tea as a sample with the latest catalog from Republic of Tea. I was about to make a new pitcher of iced tea so decided to try this tea, even though I'm not at all fond of watermelon 'flavor' or having too much mint flavor in my teas. I was very happily surprised by the absolute perfection of this tea! The mint wasn't at all overpowering and the watermelon flavor was absolutely delicious and tasted like the real deal, rather than that sickening watermelon flavored candy. Good sample to send out, Republic. I will definitely be buying more of this one! My new favorite tea, already done drinking half a pitcher.
OMG! I received a sample in my catalogue and made it up immediately. This tea is the Bomb! I'm craving more.
This is great iced tea and a wonderful way to cool off on our hot summer days. Wish you would make it available in bulk packaging as 8 bags isn't much at a time.
INCREDIBLE taste! This couldn't have come at a better time! Sipping it now, and I had to review it! If you like WATERMELON, you will LOVE this!
I really love this iced tea. It has a great, refreshing taste. I used one of these bags and added 6 decaf tea bags to make 2 quarts. Great!
Bought this at Whole Foods in Boise. I can't resist a new product, especially now that the weather is getting warmer and this was for iced tea. Watermelon scented with a definite watermelon-y taste. I don't taste the mint up front, but it provides a nice, crisp finish to the sip. Not sure why a previous reviewer mentioned cardboard and rind. It's a perfect combination to me with a wonderful taste. Hits the spot when I want something sweet but don't want to eat sugar since it's great without any sweetener. Highly recommend - but wish like crazy that it was decaf. Will try the other flavors in the Iced Tea line next!
My best friend mentioned that she wanted to try this tea, and when I saw it, I had to try it. Brewed 2 pouches in 2 quarts for 5 minutes... Absolute perfection! Going to be a definite staple to my tea garden. A close second to my favorite, Ginger Peach.
Great tea, tastes a lot like the blends that I get in some of my favorite restaurants. this will keep me coming back for many refills. After finishing off my first tin of this one I went looking for a way to buy stock in this company. found out they are private but that won't stop me from enjoying this great tea with just enough watermelon and mint so that I know its there, but nothing to overpowering or sweet.
I was so looking forward to this tea. I had images of luscious watermelon embraced by mint...a truly refreshing idea! When the tea was made, it smelled like watermelon, but no mint. Still, it smelled tasty. Imagine my shock when my first taste was of watermelon RIND and cardboard, without even a hint of mint! Totally disappointing. I really think this tea needs to be reworked to present the consumer with an accurate rendition of what the name entails.
Yum yum yum! Reminds me of chewing watermelon bubblegum in the hot Midwestern summers as a kid. Not artificial or overpowering but sweet enough with no sweeteners to be truly refreshing and delicious!
