This one smells just foul. Can’t describe it well, maybe a decaying hay or something? Maybe it’s the promised combo of vanilla and violet; but it just doesn’t work well in my mug.
But the taste is not that bad. While I never had a candy cane (it’s not a thing here), it’s something I am pointing on that the most. Peppermint and creamy vanilla and there is nothing like violet in flavour. It’s also very sweet thanks to all the licorice root used.
Happy to try this (as every tea), but nothing I would buy a box of. Not only because of the scent; but also I just don’t need any detox teas. Anyone knows what artichoke is good for as a tea?
Preparation
Flat stomach isn’t something I need necessary , however when you are taking tea bags wrappers with Italian names from the box, you are not sure what are you taking out.
I took this one in the office today, as I have seen fruits on the wrapper and thought it is some kind of fruit tea.
It is, kind of. It is herbal with fruit — to be exact; grapefruit. When I took first sniff, it was herbal. Fennel and cumin. I was confused. I have hoped for fruit notes and they weren’t there!
Luckily, in taste they are there. Fennel takes most part, but there is refreshing grapefruit aftertaste and combined with menthol from peppermint it was even cooling the throat a bit.
It was a weird combination, but it was pretty tasty, though I would not crave it often. And stevia? I wasn’t noticing it at all.
Preparation
Afternoon tropical cup in my living room. It filled the air with mentioned flavours very quickly and strongly.
It is actually one of those tea bags, that you are supposed to steep in cold water, but I use hot even for those. Mostly because I find them bland, and usually somehow not so refreshing as they think it is.
In flavour, the passion fruit dominates and pineapple is hidden somewhere. As it cools down, it gets some weird texture, possibly “smoothie” as intended, somehow creamy and much sweeter. I wonder if stevia caused that.
Interesting tropical flavours tea, pineapple and passionfruit works toggether, but it is not something I would necessary seek out.
This made me laugh! Health benefits can’t outweigh nasty tasting tea!
“Detox”… I was gonna ask if something happened to your liver—which is the natural detox system!
I think they use artichoke mixed with sour cream and onion as a dip for chips or sliced veggies!
gmathis: luckily it wasn’t so bad in taste :) but the smell was very off-putting.
TeaEarleGreyHot: nothing happened to my liver, and yes, I can imagine that as a dip. But I have lots of tea that are “drink them yourself” and mostly it’s those weird and “healthy” teas.
