Rootbeer

I just received this one today, and as the smell of it had completely dominated the package, I thought I had better try it – it smelled so good!

I’m pretty happy I gave this a shot. I was nervous because DavidsTea’s Cherry Cola was abhorrent (is that too strong of a word? Maybe not), but this is very smooth and nice. It reminds me a little of 52 Teas’ Butterbeer.

How do you describe Root Beer tea? I wish I knew what herbs/spices were in it because Root Beer can have a lot of things in it. What I do know is that I steeped it for 5 minutes and it is very smooth and not at all bitter. I think there may even be a bit of vanilla notes mixed in with the “root beer” ish spices.

… I am not doing this tea justice. :P It’s nice though!

Not sure how I feel about this one. There are vanilla tones and some herbs. I steeped this tea for almost 6 minutes. Not bitter at all. Very smooth black tea actually. I just feel like it is missing the rootbeer taste. Maybe I need to ice it? I’ve never had real rootbeer warm. haha. I may ice the next cup and add more sugar to see how it behaves. Not a bad cup of tea just really unusual.

Thanks Yssah! It was fun to try this one out.

This tastes like rootbeer! Not too strong of a rootbeer but it is there :)

I feel that the flavor shines through better when it is warm.

Warm rootbeer. Who knew huh?

Will try steeping for a longer time next time or adding more tea leaves for my next brew :)
