I’ve made this as a hot tea and a cold brew. Definitely more of a cold brew but still nothing exciting.
There was something of a woody medicinal taste like you sometimes get in a rooibos but this didn’t mention rooibos in the ingredients so it may be just me.
I was looking for more of a regular orange-y flavor but this seems to have an excess of hibiscus which is not a favorite of mine.
Flavors: Blood Orange, Hibiscus, Medicinal, Wood
Retired first grade teacher. I tend to like dessert type/herbal teas as a substitute for sweet treats; flavored black teas and mates to get that energy that I am often lacking ;-p
My husband of 43 years thinks I’m nuts regarding the whole tea thing… but he bought me a Breville for Christmas, so what can I say. :-D
My other interests are reading (books go well with tea :D) and beading. I volunteer at my “old” school teaching reading and I volunteer for the blind. I am trying hard to lose weight ( I have now lost 40 lbs and I’m looking good in my skinny jeans, IMHO) I am now walking about 4.5 miles a day and I am trying to do some core work for about 30 min. 3x a week.
Also I love swaps, pm me if you’d like to do a swap.
Since I find others’ rating legends helpful, I added my own.
95-100 A once in a lifetime experience; the best there is; will keep this stocked until the cows come home
90-94 First rate; top notch; really terrific; will definitely buy more
80-89 Excellent; likely to become a favorite, will likely buy more
70-79 Very good; would enjoy again, might buy again if in the mood for this particular one or a better, similar version not available or it’s on a really good sale :-)
50-69 Good; wouldn’t pass up if offered, but probably wouldn’t buy again unless craving this particular flavor
Below 50 Meh! Wouldn’t bother drinking it again.
