754 Green Rooibos Berry Pleasure from SpecialTeas

Kristin drank 754 Green Rooibos Berry Pleasure by SpecialTeas

Oh man! I was all ready to love this tea. But I don’t. I want to scrub my tongue with a rough towel. I got it because it was a green rooibos, which I’ve been wanting to try… and I figured berry was pretty safe. I’ve been saving this sample for a long time and just totally expected it to be lovely.

The tea leaves are green leafy with beautiful pinkish and blue flowers. It’s a beautiful golden/orangy color when brewed. The taste it kind of like a mango tea with roses and the scent is potpourri. bleah. So floral. No berry. H8.

It happens. I’m lucky it was a sample size. See, this is why you should be able to sample every tea before you buy more than a 1/2 oz. By all rights, this should have been tasty, but you never know.
