Dry mix smells like creamiscle. Wet Mix smells like Creamiscle and rooibos.
liquid color is a medium brown with reddish hue.
Liquid aroma is rooibos and orange.

I can taste the rooibos, the orange, and a floral hint. I can also taste some apple and the hibiscus but the hibiscus isn’t the concentration, thankfully! Honestly, if a blend, tea, flavoring, added component of anything tea HAD to have hibiscus in it it should take notes from Talbott! This is light and juicy and not to tart.

I really think it would be better iced but hot isn’t too shabby either!

I’m tasting this courtesy of TeaEqualsBliss! Thanks!

The orange and vanilla combination is usually a winner in my book – and it works well with the rooibos in this blend. I can still taste the woodsy flavor of the rooibos, but I’m not getting that “artificial sweetener” taste from the rooibos and that’s a real big PLUS!

The citrus is sweet with just the right amount of tart, and the vanilla tastes smooth.

Delicious, orange and creamy! I am currently writing a review for this for the SororiTea Sisters blog… it will appear later this evening! I hope you’ll watch for it!

This is is a very nice interpretation of the Creamsicle tea concept (there are several out there, I know). A little milk doesn’t hurt it a bit.

Hubby went peppercorn crazy at the bulk herb store and the pink ones were just so cute…

…that I crushed a pinch of them into this nice orangey blend, most often compared to Creamsicle flavor. Their presence was detectible when the cup was hot, less so as it cooled.

Which leads to a couple of questions for amateur or pro blenders and alchemists: 1) how many peppercorns does it take to really warm your cup up? 2) what kinds of tea do you or would you put a peppercorn in?

Yumm!!! Can I say new favorite! This tea smells and tastes just like creamsicles! I love it. It is a little bland compared to the smell without honey, but add a tsp of raw honey and it is delicious! I could drink this tea everyday! I haven’t tried it cold yet, but I imagine it would make a great summer time iced tea.
