Description:

Apricots an aphrodisiac? The ancient Chinese certainly thought so, and believed that the fruit contained special fertility enhancing properties.  We ca tell you that the apricot was first cultivated in China after fruit bearing trees wer discovered frowing on the temperate mountain slopes of that country.  It's Latin name, however, Prumus Armeniaca, owes its root to the fact that the fruit made its way westwart via farmers in Armenia.  Eagerly awaited as one of the first fresh fruits of summer, apricots are noted for their intense fragrance and sweet flavor.  Fresh apricots are also a freat source of vitamin A.  The sweet character of the fruit blends exceptionally with our high grown Ceylon tea and goes well with a dash of sugar.
