Today was a long day at work, so I brought some extra tea to help me get through it. My boss’s kettle had some sketchy looking deposits in the bottom, so I used the Keurig instead. Apparently my travel cup, which is my smallest cup, is much larger than the biggest water option on the machine. Maybe I’m drinking too much…but it’s not caffeinated, so we’re okay!

Anyway, I love a fruity green rooibos blend, so I threw this one in my cart on my last order. Hmm. The first taste is sweet and fruity, but that’s followed by a tingly clove flavor, which I didn’t enjoy so much. This honestly tastes kind of strange, and the clove scent is very strong. Not bad, but I’d definitely choose a different fruity green rooibos. On the website, they mention a recipe for using this tea in cookies, and I may try that with the rest of this. I’ve had great success making earl grey ice cream in the past, and I’ve been looking for excuses for making other tea desserts!

Bio

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
