The lemongrass and spearmint smells predominate when dry. Then I can small both, plus sweetness of plum and zing of passionfruit in the brewed tea. I smell something different each time I take a whiff. What an odd blend of ingredients!
It’s a surprisingly smooth blend. The green tea, mint and lemongrass are primary, but I am getting a sweeter aftertaste, and a funny foamy mouthfeel at the end – maybe that’s the kombucha? I’ve heard that some cold versions are sparkly or bubbly due to the fermentation…
I expected to hate it based on the ingredient list, but actually I kind of like it. I was quite curious about kombucha, although I suspect drinking it bagged & flavored is not the way to get the full experience/effect. Anyway, I’m enjoying this tea with a plate of potstickers. I wouldn’t rush out to buy a box (this was a free sample), but I would have it again if offered.
