This was one of the free samples in my last Lupicia order, and while I am grateful for free samples I sure was disappointed to see this rooibos. I probably should have given it away, but I remembered trying their caramel and rum rooibos and it was pretty good, so I was hoping.
Opened the bag. BLECH. Rooibos. Where’s the berry? Still hoping it wouldn’t TASTE like rooibos, I steeped it to go with supper, red bean soup – kind of like a vegetarian chili. With the food, it was innocuous enough because the spices drowned it out, but once I finished my food…blech. This pretty much just tasted like straight rooibos to me.
Maybe I should drink it once a month or so and see if I can develop a taste for it. If you want to know what this tasted like, take a hit off a bottle of Robitussin.
Unfortunately, the taste lingers. And lingers. And lingers…
