Smells fabulous!

Taste at first sip is good, hibiscus berry, and then at the end of the sip TART LICORICE TART bleh bleh!

I like licorice, and have been known to gnaw on a licorice root, i like hibiscus, i like berries, and i like rooibos, but something about the combination is bad.

Bleah. Got this in a swap from TeaEqualsBliss and I made it up for the husband who likes rooibos more than I.

Even he’s not digging it. He’s drinking it at least – I couldn’t have finished an entire cup of it.

Received in a swap. :)
I was ‘warned’ about this…
LOL
But I figured…I would try anything (vegetarian) once…so why not.

Eventho it says ICED – I’m having it hot.

It’s very fruity and tart. Made me do a fish face type pucker after the first sip. I certainly thing this has to be a iced and not hot tea. BUT…what I am liking is the scent and the color. I am not going to rate this until I try it iced…but it certain IS blueberry in everyway!

This is about the most blueberry-iest tea I’ve ever drank.
