First of all, bamboozled is a fun word. Almost as fun as lackadaisical, which is one of my favorite words. And I’ve never had a bamboo tisane before!
Dry, this tisane smells peachy and pineapple-y in about equal parts and like something else that I can’t quite identify. While brewing, the peach smell takes over and the others fade to the background. The mouthfeel of this tisane is very interesting. It is refreshing and feels like I’ve just had a sip of mint tea without tasting like it at all. The feeling on my tongue is almost exactly the same. While all that is happening, there’s some peach breezing by with a tiny pineapple tagalong. The fruit flavors become more apparent as the tea cools. I like it a lot! Especially for the summer, which may decide to make an appearance in Minneapolis at some point before the next 8 months of winter. One can only hope.
Thank you Virginia for this very interesting sample!
Flavors: Bamboo, Peach, Pineapple
Omg I’m so glad you like it! I get some light artificial banana notes when I drink it, and I was afraid you would hate it. It’s probably just my confused tastebuds though, ’cause no one else mentioned that banana taste in their reviews.
