My mom had some of this in her cupboard from a trip to Teavana we made a while back. It has been discontinued. I won’t miss it too much, it tastes like apple cider with some raisins and pineapple.
I’ve had it before, but not since I started the blog. So when I visited my mom today she sent me home with it so I could revisit the tea and also get a chance to blog it.
In other news she plans to get the Breville One-Touch Tea Maker BTM800XL for mother’s day. I also want one. I promise to do a side by side review of the zarafina and the breville when they arrive.
Post-Steep Additives: none
Resteep: I let it steep forever, I got colored but flavorless water. This is not re-steep-able
