I could not find this on the internet, so I hope I have the information right. I had to buy this when I saw it because I did a double take. BASIL?! In tea? Smells ok? Let’s do this!

The result is, well, I’m not sure. I love how my hands smell after I pluck the blossoms from my basil plant at home, so the aroma was very soothing for me. I think the rooibos might be throwing me off. The combined effect tastes herbal (like spice rack herbal) and dulls all flavors in my mouth, like a cigarette. OK, now the flavor seems more metallic to me, like a spoon.

I love this tea and so does my family – fresh and almost minty, much better than Rooibos on its own
