Magic Aloe

I got this from Martin and lost track of it, finally brewed it today. The brewed tea smells citrusy. Wow! With so many flavors, I’m getting an overall fruit punch flavor or a mulled wine flavor. I’m not picking out the aloe flavor, but I’m not sure what that tastes like. It pairs well with dark chocolate. Thanks, Martin!

Not getting a pineapple or fruity vibe from this one, neither last night when I brewed it hot, nor this morning when I’m finishing the leftover second now cooled brew cause I fell asleep before drinking my tea! I’m getting more of a thistle herbaceous taste, its not unpleasant but not something I’d reach for again.
Thanks for including it in the TTB!

I wasn’t sure what to expect from an aloe tea. James seemed perplexed when he tasted it, but I’m still not quite sure what to make of this one. There is a flavor like lemongrass, but I don’t remember seeing that in the list of ingredients. It has a Pez candy vibe. I don’t drink a lot of fruity herbals, so I don’t see myself reaching for this one very often. It was nice as an after-dinner treat though.

So yeah, I finally got to try this tea. Sending this blindly to AJRimmer and it was the winner of the Advent teas; so I was naturally very curious why it was so loved.

But days were flying by; they didn’t had it in stock, but in 1kg bulk; so I was still waiting and waiting and then ordered again from other company. I have 50 grams, so if anyone wants to try, I have quite a plenty left.

I must say it is delicious and unique blend. I think I notice that pineapple fruity flavour, somehow tropical; but aloe flavour is nice and present there as weell, but I am not able to describe it well. I agree with AJRimmer’s note saying almost fruity, almost minty, almost savoury

Although it is a bit weird blend, it works well and green rooibos is great base for it. It’s pretty much mouth-coating, but not in sticky way; and pineapple fruitiness is great. They say it is citrusy, but I don’t think so. Cold-brew, or iced-tea… I bet it can be a winner for the upcoming summer.

Okay this one is my favorite so far! 100% my kind of tea. The aloe element is such an interesting flavor, almost minty, almost fruity, a tiny bit savory (until I sweetened it). I’m having it cold, and it’s so refreshing and delicious. The flavor really lingers. Green rooibos is the perfect base for it. I need more of this tea!
