Get Passionate - No.17 (Wellness Collection)

Another sample from AmazonV. Thanks for all the wonderful tastings to come and that I’ve had! I like trying these teas.

I was a bit skeptical about this tea, as most Rooibos teas I’ve had taste the same (berry and woodsy). This one quite surprised me, it has almost a tropical taste to it along with a sweeter undertone and something citrusy/lemony. This tea really makes me happy, I think it may be green rooibos (just due to the steep being more similar to a green tea than red rooibos I’ve had previously).

I didn’t brew this as strong as recommended. I did one bag to 12 oz boiling water and steeped for 7 minutes. I’m really enjoying this brew. I don’t know that it is making me more passionate, but this may be a reorder down the road for evening tea.

For a Rooibos, this tea is mellow. The Lemon Verbana and Passionfruit really help to bring the tea down to a nice place. It is a very bold and spicy tea. Spicy in the sense that it will take you a few sips to get use to it. Now, as for passion? I felt this tea makes you feel a little bit better about yourself after a few cups, but there was no signifigant change in my sex drive. Overall i’d say this was a nice tea for a summer afternoon.

Amount: 2 bags

Notes: adding wild huckleberry honey seems to bring out the ‘red’ flavor more and made it more enjoyable. overall a unremarkable tea

Smell: lemon / citrus and earthy
Flavor: lemon / citrus
Body: medium
Aftertaste: citrus

I really love this tea. I always add honey to my tea, so idk if that changes the tea too much.
I also keep my tea bag in for much too long cuz I always forget about it.

Mood: relaxed, warm, loving

This tea is very aromatic in a floral scent. For me, it smells quite feminine and makes me think I’m walking in a garden filled with flowers when I drink it.

I usually don’t like floral teas, but this one is an exception.
