Made a pitcher of this iced while waiting for my yixing pot to season. Still lots of time to go. I forgot I had added jellybeans in here so that was a surprise when I opened my tin.
It’s very orange. I had added like the red/pink Starburst beans and for some reason it really smelled like grapefruit when I poured it into my pitcher. That’s definitely not present in here, but I think it may have been the strawberry smell combining with the rooibos. Weird!
Now that the fun has really worn off this really is just your usual red rooibos with fruit flavoring. I had a lot of jellybeans in there but unlike before, they just don’t taste like they’re adding anything beyond color. It’s still enjoyable, it’s just not worth the novelty. And for iced tea, I prefer green rooibos.
