Tropicana

Fruit Herbal Rooibos Blend by The Tea Emporium

This green Rooibos – not oxidized – is blended with the deliciously juicy flavours of strawberry, peach and grapefruit zest – the tropics in a cup! Makes a great iced tea.
Tip: Use 1tsp per 6oz cup; heat fresh water to a boil; steep 3-5 minutes.

another great Rooibos tea. The grapefruit isn’t strong as I would like, but still adds a nice roundness to my sips. Sortof the orange pekoe equivalent of red tea, only with grapfruit instead… I do find that I really need to be in the mood for this tea, but then I am a mood drinker. With over 15 teas in my cupboard, I can afford to be! :P

I used a bag this time… and I realize now how much of a difference it actually makes! I was dissapointed. Heavily. None of the grapefruit came through at all and it tasted rather weak even though I left the bag in for nearly ten minutes.
Oh well, can’t win every time. Here’s to better luck tomorrow! —I’ll be out n about so there’ll be no updates from me til late, if at all. What will I ever do without my Steepster fix?!
Oh and I wish we could do status updates on this site!!!
