REVIEW
Brewed
- A delightful light brow liquor, not purple like I expect.
Scent
- It smells like grapes with earthy notes. I can’t wait to get into this tea and see exactly what an Ice Wine tea is about.
Flavor
- This tea is just like a wine with and flavor that captures that of a wine. Fruity notes and slightly bitter but .. it’s like a wine! 🙂
Sentiments
- This tea will give you a very real sense of drinking an ice’d wine. It’s really got an amazing flavor and even a following that embraces that of a beautiful iced wine. I love the taste of this tea, some may want to add a sweetener however I think without it really gives a more wine taste.
What I don’t like are the dust and natural flavors!
The dust because we all know that it’s basically tea ground and ground and ground to dust and I honestly never understand why, why? Because whole tea leaf makes an incredible tea. Natural flavors again as I have stated, natural flavors are not regulated and can be absolutely anything.
