Root Beer

Black Tea by Simpson & Vail

When we were children our favorite summer dessert was rootbeer floats. The earthy delicious taste of root beer combined with sweet, creamy vanilla ice cream was a sheer delight. When we thought of making teas that children might enjoy, root beer quickly came to mind. This extremely aromatic tea will assail your senses with its intoxicatingly sweet aroma. The brewed cup is well balanced and refreshing on the palate.

Ingredients: black teas, sarsaparilla root , and rootbeer flavor.

Brew tea at 212ยบ – steep for 3 minutes.

Wow… i have to say this is a totally interesting tea! I’m not sure it’s something that I would drink often, but man i could go for this occasionally. Not only does it smell intensely like root beery but the taste is pretty damn close as well! I had some of this hot and then it accidently was left to cool right off while i was on a call. I can say, cold, this is VERY much like root beer. Hot, it’s still much like root beer but a little less so. Either way, if you’re looking for a root beer tea, this is it! :)

SIPDOWN!

So uh funnny story? I like this better hot haha. Cold brew from the other day and it’s so much better warm.

This smells so strongly like root beer, it’s crazy! And the flavour is the most authentic root beer flavour I’ve tried in a tea yet. I’m drinking this cold because I left it for quite a while, and I think it’s great this way, but I should try it hot as well.

The only downside to this tea is that although I like root beer, I don’t think this is a tea I’d want to drink too often.

Root beer indeed! add a little carbonated water and it just might become my fave summer tea. Thanks so much for the sample Kittenna!
It smells strongly of root beer. Positively intoxicating. I could sit here and sniff it all day!
The aroma is a fair bit stronger than the taste. The base is well balanced, coming out more in the first part of the sip while root beer dominates the tail end as well as aftertaste.
Will definitely consider this as a purchase in future S&V orders

To say this smells exactly like root beer is an understatement. I could smell this tea before I even opened the box it was shipped in. It is currently making my office smell like root beer. It took me a while to convince myself that it wouldn’t be weird to drink this hot, because hot root beer is kind of a strange thought. But I finally brewed it and it’s good. The smell of this tea is stronger than the taste which is a little bit disappointing. But it IS delicious. I can’t wait to make this iced.

Tastes and smells like rootbeer! I love root beer and I liked this tea hot but as an iced tea it would rock!
