tea-sipper drank Root Beer Float by Della Terra Teas

4185 tasting notes

First to review this one? How did that happen? I’m always up for trying any new blends from Della Terra. I must admit though… I think I’m falling out of love with rooibos because it seems that any rooibos likes to leave tiny rooibos pieces to irritate the back of my throat that is already bothering me, no matter how well my infuser does with screening out the rooibos. I think they are really tiny pieces! I have no idea why I’m just noticing that now. But I don’t think it would be a problem if rooibos was made out of bigger pieces. Anyway, this blend didn’t have that affect as much as other blends.

I was looking for the little ice cream bits here but wasn’t able to spot many in my sample. If I think about it now, rooibos almost naturally seems like root beer somehow. The flavor and fragrance is almost there anyway. But there is a root beer flavor here… I just wish there was more. And more creaminess. Next time I’ll try two teaspoons.

As I remember, even the DavidsTea version of this was missing the float part!

Most of the teas listed in my cupboard are actually sample sizes. I don’t really have 2,000 ounces of tea around here! Many of my teas have only one teaspoon left… maybe two. But I like keeping them in my cupboard list for reference to what I could be sipping. Usually, I write tasting notes once for each tea. I’m still drinking them, just not writing tasting notes each time!

I’m always in search of: Hattialli, Qu Hao black, Jin Jun Mei, teas using marshmallow root.

My dislikes: hibiscus, ginger (unless in chai), turmeric, bee pollen, charcoal type flavors

My ratings:
95-100 – Super awesome deliciousness favorites – cupboard essential
80-95 – Also pretty delicious
65-80 – Pretty good
50-65 – Okay
1-50 – Probably won’t want to sip it again

I’m planning on being a Steepsterer as long as there IS a Steepster, so if you’re not hearing from me, that means something happened to my health… if you know what I mean. (Or as evidenced by the great computer hiatus of 2019, something happened to my computer… I have a dumb phone so can’t access internet on that. As of 12/20/21 my wifi might start getting unreliable.)

Happy sipping!
