This base is a combination of green tea and green rooibos, which go together really smoothly. The flavor isn’t as special as I had hoped. It’s just a sort of fake red fruit sort of vibe. It’s not tart, but kind of candylike. It’s refreshing cold, but pretty one-note.

It tastes like generic melon to me, ha ha.

So no resemblance to prickly pear cactus apples, which I find so delicious? :-(

I’m not sure if I’ve ever had one, but usually I find prickly pear flavored things more tangy? And it is not that ha ha.

Ha I brought prickly pears back from a hike near my house once, but the spines ended up intimidating me, so I didn’t cook with them. I’ve had a few prickly pear flavored things before, but I don’t remember the flavor being super distinct.

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
