Lala drank Rooibos Tropica by Teavana

871 tasting notes

Made this one brewed hot mixed equally with Teavana’s Strawberry Lemonade. I found that the rooibos tropica and strawberry lemonade taste very similar to each other than when tasted individually. So naturally, when mixed together, there is not a huge difference in the taste. It has the strawberry lemonade taste, it is sweet, but not so much candy sweet like the strawberry lemonade. The rooibos does dampen the sweetness and strawberry lemonade a bit. There is a red rooibos aftertaste. Overall it is ok. In my opinion, no huge difference when these two are blended together.

Bio

I am a lifetime tea lover.

I did foray into the world of coffee for a period of time, but I returned to my true love. I still, however, enjoy a good cup of java.

My all time favorite tea is Earl Grey, which I drink every morning, the stronger the bergamot the better. I definitely prefer natural oil of bergamot to artificial flavouring.

I mostly like black and dark oolong teas. My current favs are Fujian blacks, Keemun and Assams, and Wuyi oolongs. I gravitate towards anything with lychee in it. I also drink a lot of herbal blends but am wary of hibiscus. I do not favour mate, or pu’erh tea, although I have found a few blends that I like. (I so badly want to like straight pu’erh tea but it all tastes gross to me. I keep trying though). Rooibos, green and white teas fall somewhere in the middle. I find myself gravitating towards heavily roasted oolongs and teas from Paris/France based companies.

I love iced teas and cold brews.

My current tea goal is to make the perfect cup of chai from scratch – almost there…I think.

I am in love with the whole experience of tea.
