Rooibos Tea by Tropical Tea Company
Sprightly fresh fruit character that conjures memories of tiny flavorful blueberries. The aroma portends a wonderful taste experience.
I would normally say, “I’m not one for fruity teas.” Except this time I really like this fruity tea.
BLUEBERRIES! That’s pretty much I noticed. The rooibos is a mild accent to the blueberries. Really strange that the rooibos doesn’t take a more dominant role. I saw a blueberry in the tea. Now I wonder if I will get a plump blueberry out of my infuser.
I’d keep this tea around as a treat. My daughter really likes it too, score! Another tea I think will be great iced.
My first rooibos tea!
I’d heard about rooibos teas from a friend of mine who really likes them. I decided to give this one a go after the $1/oz deal from Tropical Tea Company.
I tried this while—surprise!—studying for an exam. So, again, I wasn’t paying very much attention to flavour. I just wanted something pleasant to drink while trudging through endless lines of text and various powerpoints. Be warned that my memory might be fuzzy on some details.
So, the details: blueberry. Lots of blueberries.
As a matter of fact, that’s all that I can remember of this. Blueberry when I opened the pouch, blueberry when I brewed this, blueberry when I drank it. I get the feeling that I probably missed some subtle notes of other flavours in there.
If you don’t like blueberries/blueberry-flavoured foods and drinks, don’t get this. I love blueberries, and berries in general, so I intend to have another cup of this sometime again.
And now, the word ‘blueberry’ no longer makes sense to me at the moment. Yay, semantic satiation. :P
