Apricot

Apricots are stone fruits believed to have come from Central Asia and China, later spreading along trade routes to the Middle East and the Mediterranean. Dried apricot pieces add a sunny, honeyed sweetness with a soft, velvety stone-fruit aroma and a light tangy edge. They are a classic match for green tea, white tea, oolong and fruit blends, and they also pair nicely with peach, mango, vanilla and almond. Apricot blends make a refreshing, fragrant iced tea.
