This is the second time I’ve tried this tea. The first time was before I joined Steepster and was in no way a success! The first time, I used an artificial sweetner and it brought out the taste of the rose petals to the point where the tea was just about undrinkable. This time, I tasted the tea unsweetener first. I still didn’t like it, but it was better. I added a few drops of liquid vanilla stevia, and decided it would do. It’s not a tea I’ll be reordering. It’s got too much rose for my tastes.

I didn’t drink this on it’s own. I had some Yuzu Sencha from Lupicia and added some of the hibiscus during a second steeping. I like hibiscus, but I think it needs to be mixed with some other flavors, it’s a little much on it’s own.

Smells really good. I can’t wait to try it!

Smells good! Looks good! Tastes good. The green tea flavor is just barely there, but it is a second steeping, so I’m not too surprised at that. The citrusy yuzu is still present as well. The hibiscus takes center stage, but it’s not a monologue when it’s mixed with the green tea. I like it as a part of an ensemble. This is definitely something I’ll drink again.

This is a great tea to dunk into a travel mug and sip on while trying to get teenagers to shut up!!

Doesn’t do anything to get them quiet, but it helps my disposition somewhat.

The was a very light tasting tea with a hint of green apple. The apple taste was tart and sour. I infused it a second time, and that infusion had more of a green tea flavor than an apple flavor. A nice tea, but I like something a little more assertive.

I’ll sure be sad when my sample of this is used up! Great strong black tea with a good peach flavor.

Maybe I’ll order an 8 oz.

Drank this with my spaghetti at supper. It was nice. It’s been a favorite of mine for a while, and it’s handy to carry something good in a tea bag!

I decided that I wanted to try something new, so I took this out of the cupboard. First impressions were of ginger and almond. Smelled like it needed some sweetner and milk!! The rooibos was very fine, so I brewed it using a paper filter. I tried some straight, and decided to add some vanilla stevia and some vanilla coffee creamer. (I wanted to add milke, but it had gone sour!!)

Very nice, I imagine this will be good mixed with some of the other teas I have in the cupboard to spice them up some!

I may just become an addict to this one. I need to try some of the similar teas.
