This tea tastes like… Olives.
Ewwwwww. I hate olives to begin with- why is my fruity tea tasting like them? I blame the rooibos. And the hibiscus.
Once the olive taste wears off, I’m left with a slightly cranberry-like aftertaste. No pomegranate to speak of. It’s like a shadow of what this tea might have tasted like if it were blended better.
Ughhh. This is exactly why I despise both rooibos and fruity herbals.
Favorite tea types: Black, pu’erh, oolong, kombucha, genmaicha, floral greens, matcha, yaupon, mate, rooibos, and honeybush.
Favorite flavor notes: Roasted, fermented, earthy, floral, nutty, bread-y, umami; dessert-inspired flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and maple.
Picky about, but not opposed to: chai, spice/ spicy, fruit flavors, and herbal tisanes.
Flat-out dislike: White tea, most unflavored green teas, hibiscus, plain peppermint.
