We have tons of this tea. When we found out it was being discontinued, we bought 4 ounces because my husband really enjoys it. We still have a little over 2 ounces left so I thought it might be good to start drinking some of it. The open pack we have is mostly made up of lemongrass and pieces of dried fruit. I can also see whole green cardamom pods and hibiscus.
The dry tea smells a bit muted, but the lemongrass is coming through now that I’ve poured the hot water over. I think I remember reading that this uses a green rooibos, though I’m not sure of the difference in taste between the green and the red. It seems like quite a few people prefer the green to the red. I don’t suppose I have a preference. I like them both.
It appears that what I thought was hibiscus is actually rose petals so I’m glad for that. I don’t mind hibiscus too much, but I wasn’t in the mood for it today. This is much better than I was expecting. I haven’t had this tea in a while. It’s light and I can taste the lemongrass.
