This is the Apricot Seaberry Glow Tea ($9.90; no ice, 70% sugar) from Auntea Jenny, featuring golden seaberry, Sichuan ruby blood orange, Xinjiang golden apricot, carrot, and red grapefruit with Jasmine Needle King tea.

The beverage presented with an opaque gradient, transitioning from deep red-orange at the base from the blood orange flesh to a bright neon orange towards the surface. Visible citrus pulp remained suspended throughout the drink.

Initial contact delivered a smooth citrus profile reminiscent of a Cara Cara orange, balancing gentle sweetness with refreshing acidity. The blood orange flesh contributed intermittent bursts of concentrated citrus flavour and soft pops of texture. Through the mid-palate, the golden apricot introduced a mellow honeyed sweetness that broadened the fruit profile without becoming heavy, while the seaberry contributed a gentle tartness that kept the sweetness lively. Towards the finish, delicate floral notes from the Jasmine Needle King tea emerged, lifting the citrus and stone fruit while adding freshness and definition. The tea remained understated yet effective, providing structure without overshadowing the fruit. Aftertaste carried lingering citrus and floral notes, allowing the seaberry’s bright, refreshing character to remain the defining impression. Despite initial reservations, the carrot contributed no discernible flavour, instead seemingly serving only to enhance the drink’s vivid orange colour.

Overall, a fruit tea with a layered flavour trajectory and well-integrated fruit pulp, resulting in a bright, refreshing beverage that balances citrus, stone fruit and floral tea with restraint.
