This smells like Lemon Basil, almost.

The post-infusion color is a reddish-orange-light brown type color…very attractive color, really.

The Lemon flavors are thicker and not tart or puckery but still a nice hardy lemon…perhaps more of a lemon herb. The Rooibos adds a subtle sweet taste but the overall flavor of this blend isn’t your stereotypical rooibos because of the lemon/herb mix PLUS the Rooibos and White Tea Bases.

Yet another unique winner of flavor combo’s from WPTC. They’ve done it again! WOWZA!

PS: As this cools at room temp a little I can now taste a little bit of a sweet woodsy and lemon-herbal flavor but it’s also quesi-buttery and woodsy! VERY interesting cuppa!

Thank you to TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this tea.

I’m enjoying this. At first, I was a little worried that the rooibos would completely overpower the delicate white tea, and while the rooibos IS stronger in the sip than the white tea, I do taste the white tea too. And the lemongrass offers a pleasing citrus note. Overall, the cup is buttery and smooth, with a sweet lemony taste … the lemon notes taste as though they’ve been sweetened with honey. Quite pleasant. My full length review will publish tomorrow on the SororiTea Sisters blog: http://sororiteasisters.com
