A few months ago, I had the privilege to be one of the first to try this (if not the first) with a prototype sample. My mind was blown with how much it tasted like root beer. Drinking a sample of the finalized version, I can still say the same thing, except there’s something a little more now. A vanilla-y sweetness! :) Now this version of this honeybush takes it from “Root Beer Honeybush” into “Root Beer Float Honeybush”!

It definitely has a sweet ice creamy taste now. Truth be told, I hate soda. And I very rarely have ice cream. But I’m finding myself enjoying this so much anyway that I could see myself purchasing this sometime down the road, haha. :)

Really nice and unique! Thanks for letting me try it Stacy! :)

Edit: Mmmmm, cannot get enough of that vanilla. I’ve since finished the cup and just keep smelling the mug since the sweet scent is still lingering in it. Hoping for more teas with that vanilla flavoring in it in the future~~

Hello! I’m a 24 year old Canadian, currently working at Starbucks while I figure out what I want to do with myself in life, haha.

Like most everyone else, I grew up with teabags, and then discovered the grass really WAS greener on the other side with loose leaf. Nowadays I drink nearly exclusively loose, but will drink a bagged tea if I don’t care what I’m having.

My favorite kind of tea is black, and unflavored, although I do enjoy an occasional dessert black. I like whites second best. I’ve recently been dipping my toes into honeybush tisanes, greens and oolongs.

My favorite vendors are Butiki Teas and Verdant Teas. Both have fantastic teas, above and beyond customer service (especially Butiki), and fair prices for their very high quality teas. I can’t recommend them enough.

Purely for tasting notes references, I don’t use any additives for my teas. Older tasting notes for blacks was with milk+sugar, and then with just milk. Whites, oolongs, greens and herbals are all drunk straight unless otherwise specified in the notes.
