Rooibos pomegranate

Meghann M, thanks for this!!! It smells like…POM juice! :P
Then – of course – Rooibos. YES, I believe Rooibos has a Rooibossy smell to it. Very identifiable. :)

The aroma of this flavored Rooibos is intense. It’s juicy and refreshing and a good ‘even steven’ fruity taste. I, still, can taste that regular rooibos taste. Next time I am going to try this one ICED as well…I’m think I will like it a lot better as it’s tarty but not over the top or hibiscus-esque.

Get your TISANE on…woot ( sorry end of the word day and I can’t wait to leave )

So I haven’t had this in awhile, though I remember it very fondly. This was my first Rooibus and it wasn’t bad. I could taste the pomegranate which is always good but then their was the Rooibus taste that distracted me for a little bit. Over time I was able to cancel it out though and just enjoy the Pomegranate. Only weird thing is that after I drank this or any other Rooibus tea I would end up having messed up dreams every time with night sweats. Not sure if this has anything to do with the tea or not but it seems like a weird thing to happen every time.

After lurking in the Take it Away discussion thread, I finally posted and got this tea from the wonderful Meghann M today!

Studying and doing homework all day I was waiting so eagerly to get home and make some of this! Used 2tsp for 8oz. The smell is so fruity and pomegranate, but it smells super strong! The tea is so dark, a very brown red color.

Okay, I think it’s finally cooled down enough for me to drink, here goes! nope, still too hot. I can’t taste anything besides hot water….

Okay, it’s cooling down, and its still not tasting like much. I definitely taste some hints of pomegranate but mainly it just has a generic rooibos taste to it. Not quite sure how to describe it. It’s got a little tang to it, but I’m still not tasting any pomegranate flavors. After it smelling so strongly, I’m a little surprised. I think next time I make this I’ll steep with some rock sugar, I think a little sweetness will help the flavor of this tea.

It’s a very relaxing tea though. I like the little kick of flavor it has, but at the same time the strong is so smell it almost makes me expect more of a strong flavor (and I’m kind of glad its not!)
