Strawberry Pomegranate Red

Having this while at a friend’s house helping to set up their DVR. I was a little suspicious – the good ole hibiscus pretty prominant in the ingredient list. The taste is rooibos upfront, with a hint of strawberry and a smack of hibiscus. That said, it’s not very well balanced and I’m actually not enjoying it that much. I think I’m getting a hint of that woody flavour that so many get from rooibos. Makes my mouth feel dry. Of course, this isn’t what I was looking for flavour-wise at all, so that could explain it too.

I cold brewed this last night, and I am not liking it :(

The roobios is very very woody and leaving a bad aftertaste after each sip. The first taste is a tangy strawberry, but it quickly changes to simply rooibos.

I had one bag and tried cold brewing to see if I could somehow avoid the hibiscus ( – and it worked, the brew is not sour at all! So that’s something I guess haha.

Alas, this is one of the last bags I have. I really enjoy this tea. It’s got a great, real strawberry taste, with just a hint of pomegranate. It shines against the rooibos background. And it’s nice that the base is rooibos rather than hibiscus, as a lot of strawberry teas are. It’s sweet and smooth, with no tartness. It’s just plain yummy.

At first I wasn’t keen, but I think it might have been washing the taste of Merry Mint out of my mouth (bleurgh). It’s actually not that bad. I’ve had a lot better flavoured rooibos, but this is palatable and comes in a bag so Chris can manage to make it (he just goes to pieces around loose tea. Fr srs. It’s kinda sweet.)

Fruity flavour, not too tart, not too sweet, and the rooibos is still distinguishable rather than being completely buried under the fruit.

The flavor of this tea is definitely more subtle than the (very lovely) aroma, but it’s quite enjoyable. The strawberry is definitely the most obvious bit of it.

Blood-red tea with a taste similar to heavily watered-down crystal light. The longer the bag steeped, the more color there was in the tea. Flavor just didn’t want to come out of this bag. Maybe a little tang from the rooibos, but otherwise it was one miscellaneous flavor that many would forgot immediately after consumption. At least it smelled good… but I didn’t want to drink potpourri.

man, we are all suckers sometimes. i can’t help but be drawn to “pomegranate” anything cuz I consider it such a powerfood. There isn’t any pomegranate in this. Just flavor. extract city. taste fine, but i wouldn’t buy it. it was a sweet xmas gift: 10 bags all tied up in a pretty ribbon.

I just bought this today and couldn’t resist trying it out . I didn’t use any sweetener , didn’t want to mask the flavor . The strawberry flavor is the strongest aroma and taste you get from it . Its sweet but the pomegranate subtly keeps it from being too sweet . I made the right decision about not using any sweetener . Its just right without it . Glad I bought this tea .
