Tomato in tea really doesn’t weird me out at this point, and I’ve even had Tomato Turmeric tea before so this is possibly one of the most “normal” seeming Clover blends to me – weird as that sounds…
It brews an actually very gorgeous colour – very bright red and inviting! The first thing I noticed about the taste was actually the cinnamon, but this was quickly followed be a very savory (yet just slightly sweet) flavour of tomato and then a lot of earthy, hot turmeric and ginger. Like, it’s VERY spicy and in a way the lingers a significant amount after each sip. I’m not really a customer for those types of intense spicy profiles, but I will say that I think it’s dynamic and interesting and the presence of such robust spices does seem to make the savory elements much more palatable to the average customer. Personally, I wish there was more tomato.
I think this is probably one of the better, if not the best, of the flavours – I would maybe actually drink it again and I would definitely have an interest of using it in cooking!
