I got this sample in my December RoT catalog and am finally getting around to trying it. I was excited to see that this was a green rooibos, since most of the other chocolate peppermint teas I’ve tried have been red rooibos and can tend to have a woody aftertaste. This one has a nice smooth peppermint flavor as I’m sipping it, but the strong stevia aftertaste completely ruins the experience for me. I wish companies wouldn’t pre-sweeten their teas!

Why is stevia in tea even a thing?
@Anlina: I don’t know. I always get frustrated when I see it on the ingredient list of a tea blend. I like to decide whether or not I want it sweetened or not, I don’t like that decision made for me.
Absolutely agreed! I almost always drink my tea unsweetened and it’s so frustrating to discover that I don’t even have that option with a particular tea.
