Here’s Hoping TTB.
This tastes almost exactly like pina colada candy. I’m most familiar with this flavor from lifesavers and dum dum suckers. I’m a big fan of pina colada, so I’m enjoying this. I feel like it’s not something I would reach for often, but I would really enjoy it on occasion
Flavors: Coconut, Pineapple, Sweet

I grabbed this because I was craving chocolate and don’t have any crio bru on hand. It’s not very chocolatey. I do like honeybush so it’s not a total loss, just not quite what I was hoping for. It also has a bit of an alcohol flavor from the flavorings.
This is pretty decent. It seems to be using decent quality rooibos and the vanilla is definitely noticeable. However, I’m not a huge fan of the woodiness of rooibos combined with the earthiness of vanilla. The final result is like wood that’s so old it’s crumbling into dust, but also sweet from the vanilla. Not for me, but some people would probably enjoy it.
I had this almost a week ago now and am just getting around to reviewing it. The baby has been teething, and our daily routine has been interrupted quite a bit by that as well as other things, so the older boys have been bouncing off the walls. Needless to say, I haven’t had much time for tea.
I mostly remember that I liked this and it did seem to taste pleasantly of grapefruit. I’ll have to make another cup and possibly write a more nuanced note.
