This is an appropriate time to recall Space Samurai's remembrance of George Carlin and his discussion of fruit-flavored tea. Here it is, http://anotherteablog.blogspot.com/2008 ... d-tea.html

Finished a bag of Tea Gallery's Classic Roast TGY with breakfast, and enjoyed Zencha's Ultimate Sencha with lunch.

Thanks so much for the link brlarson, This is now one of my favorite quotes ever,

"Personally, I’ve always been of a mind that if you’re looking for fruit flavor, if you’re genuinely interested in something that tastes like fruit, and you find yourself in the tea section, you’re probably in the wrong aisle. My advice is, if it’s fruit flavor you’re after, play if safe, go ahead and get some fruit. I have found in my experience that fruit almost always turns out to be reliable source of fruit flavor." George Carlin

It sums up fruit flavors perfectly in my opinion.
