This was a Christmas gift from Superanna, but I just got it a couple of weeks ago because we had Covid at Christmas.

I decided to give myself a break from trying to frantically sip down all the advent tea and try something new. I am glad I looked at reviews first, because the smell of this was…scary. Well, definitely very weird.

As it steeped, I was thinking, “I thought there was supposed to be glitter. There’s no glitter.” Then I poured it and WOW. I don’t know if I have ever seen glitter quite like this in a tea, although I may have had one glitter tea long ago. It swirled and twirled and twinkled. I made a video and sent it to Superanna specifying that there was no filter. She asked why is it twinkling? It was so impressive that each member of the household got treated to a visit from the twinkling teacup.

The steeped tea no longer smells scary. It tastes like a pretty nice mix of berry and mint flavors. It is definitely not bright green by any stretch of the imagination. Trust me, I have seen this tea under several different types of light as it traveled around the house visiting Ashman, daughter, and finally the table where I drank it after filming it. This is almost black. No green anywhere.

It was a fun and pretty tea, and a nice little novelty. Tastewise, it is fine and enjoyable, but not absolutely knock your socks off. Easy to drink, though! I wonder if it is as pretty as an iced sweet tea? Hmmmmm….
