REVIEW
Brew
- Very light and delicate. You could see through the liquor to the other side of the cup. A beautiful liquor.
Scent
- There is something about the earthiness of rooibos and chamomile combines that brings out an exotic scent. Balanced out with a chocolate scent from the carob the scent will make you want to dive right in.
Flavor
- There is a sweet yet subtle earthiness to this tea. Like the scent there is an earthiness and then a sweetness to the tea, it is well rounded and really gives your senses a lovely experience. The tea does have honey in in it which makes a sweetness to the tea and balance out the earthiness of the chamomile, rooibos and carob. Natural flavors I do not know what that is, and while you follow me you know how I feel about that.
Sentiments
- This is a sweet tea and the dried honey will give you an essence of sweetness. This tea is very light and such a sweet vanilla flavor. The fact that there is carob in this tea surprised me as I really did not taste any. It has a beautiful aroma that while steeping left me with the idea “I can’t wait to taste this tea. I was not disappointed at all. It’s a caffeine free tea and that is a welcome blessing for those that cannot have caffeine because it’s a great taste and experience as a tea drinker! This is an excellent tea to drink hot. I tried this tea iced and it really seemed to loose a lot of the flavor. It was too bland when mixed with ice.
