I can’t help but think of Naked Persimmon

I LOVE The Monkees! Always have!
I’m really shocked they had this one on YouTube! LOL
Anyhow…this Intensely flavored rooibos smells AWESOMELY AWESOME!
I can see all of the ingredients and something that looks like dried apple but I don’t see that in the list of ingredients so maybe what I am seeing is a vanilla bean or something.
As it continues to infuse I am STILL THINKING it’s apple or some other like-kind of fruit…
The taste is a nice, bold, strong Chocolate and Mint Mix. It does hide quite a bit of the Rooibos taste but paired with the vanilla makes for a milky-smooth ending and aftertaste.
This is very good! I like this a lot!
As it cools the chocolate becomes more malty…almost like a chocolate milk shake type malty…this aspect of the taste interests me as I don’t recall having that happen to me in other tea/tisanes. Very Nice!
MONKEES! Loved the wool cap….sigh….
I saw the chunks of apple, too. I tasted a couple – one out of the dry leaves, and one afterward in the wet leaves. Definitely apple.
