First tasting note for this one? This was such an interesting mix of ingredients! It screamed ‘ME’ and I was happy to receive it in my grab bag: Red and green rooibos, blackberries, peach, vanilla and marshmallow root. Whoa. There was a big blackberry in my teaspoon, so I wasn’t surprised the flavor was mostly blackberry. There is also a healthy amount of marshmallow. I’d say that was somehow the strongest flavor. Marshmallows and blackberries. Possibly only the slightest hints of peach and vanilla and I really wish there were more. Maybe in other teaspoons there will be. Or I could try a teaspoon and half next time. There did seem to be more flavor with the second steep, the second night I steeped it. The base is just enough red rooibos to blend nicely with the milder green rooibos. Four awesome ingredients, happy to try this one. A better balance of the four flavors and I would have given it a better rating, but this one is good.
Steep #1 // 1 teaspoons for a full mug// 5 minutes after boiling // 3 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 5-6 minute steep

I also liked how Frank used to add the date to tea descriptions, so I could TRY to judge how old a blend might be. I have no idea how old this one so maybe that might be why the peach is missing. I like to have an idea of how old a tea is, just so I know how fairly I’m judging it. :D
