Tomato Rebel Black Tea

Black Fruit Herbal Blend by Fully Loaded Tea

Often thought of as a vegetable, the humble Tomato is actually a giant berry. Its fruity sweetness teams up with the subtle spiciness of Basil and premium black tea leaves for a truly unique tea. Basil, “the king of herbs”, lives up to its royal lineage and Tomato, confined to the salad no longer, finally gets its chance to shine. Its aphrodisiac qualities will make you fall in love with this comforting tea.

Ingredients: black tea leaves, basil herb, natural flavors, tomato pieces, marigold flowers, cornflowers

It certainly does have whole tomato pieces, and while the brew isn’t as luscious as the box picture suggests, it does make a slightly spicy tea. The problem is that it has little flavor otherwise. I normally take my black tea with milk and sugar, and this tea makes that experience more like a supercheap cup of tomato soup. I won’t buy it again, but it wasn’t bad to try at $1.99 at Grocery Outlet.

Tried it with two bags in an effort to give it a second chance and finish the box, and it just doesn’t work for me. Again, it makes a spicy tea with little other flavor besides weak tomato. There is one more bag left, and I will likely save it for a tea and cheese tasting event, paired with basil havarti.
