After trying the Carrot Curry savory tea, I was excited to get ahold of the others. Luckily, my sweetheart was making an Amazon order a couple of days ago, so I added the variety box to it. I’m not sure why I chose this one to try tonight, it just sounded so interesting and I figured it would be somewhat sweet considering it contains beets. The dry bag smelled strongly of cabbage and savory spices.
Whew, the brewed tea smells like cabbage soup! Luckily, I don’t mind cabbage, though it’s not my favorite. The flavor of this tea is much more subtle than the aroma, in fact, it’s almost too subtle. The main taste is boiled cabbage, and there’s a sweetness from the beets. The spicing is very mild, though I do get warmth from the clove near the end of the sip. I can definitely taste the parsley, and it adds a nice fresh flavor. Overall, I do enjoy the flavor, but I wish there was more of it. Perhaps next time I’ll steep this with less water and see if that improves the strength. I find that I really enjoy these savory vegetable teas as a caffeine-free nighttime option.
In other news, this is my 300th tasting note. Huzzah!

Yah! You’re on a roll with tasting notes!
OMG… I have this, but I haven’t tried it… In fact, I have the sampler pack, too. I am a little scared of beets. I have beet phobia. But this sounds kinda ok…
I love beets but I don’t think I would love beet tea :/
I love borsch. I wonder how close this tea to it.
It doesn’t taste much like beets, mostly like cabbage. :P
These sound fun! I’m totally going to add this to our next amazon order.
Hmm, hot cabbage water…call me skeptical!
I like to steep then closer to 20 minutes and add a pinch of salt. It really helps being out the flavors. And I love adding them to the water wen I cook pasta or rice.
Mandy -that’s a great idea…adding them to pasta or rice!!
