Yummy!! so very yummy. When hot that is. I was all set to rate this one supa’ high, because I was so very much in love. but then it cooled… and well, it just wasn’t doin it for me anymore. The heavy, lukewarm liquid became sour and the cinnamon began to dominate. Sour cinnamon is just awkward. Not terrible, but odd in a way that makes me cringe. So if I can get to the bottom of my cup before it cools, s’all good.
No matter, it’s better than I anticipated, by far. I was worried that it’d taste like Forever Nuts, which I hated… but it doesn’t so yay!! I’m not sure what the difference is, since the ingredients are identical, but this one just gels together so much better. Maybe it’s the ratio of contents? shrugs
Also, this gets negative points(I’d say 3 or so) because while beets are healthy-ish, they have serious glycemic index issues. I’m trying to lessen my sugar dependency here! esp with about 80% of my relatives dealing/passed on from Diabetes complications. Jus’ sayin…
Dang, this one had so much potential to be amazing! but then one thing after another tore my rating for this from a soaring 95, ten points down to 85. Sheesh. I feel like it deserves higher but then I consider all the factors and… well, I just can’t justify boosting it. Hmmmm.

Wow! This sounds really similar to Forever Nuts. It seems like every Toronto tea shop has its own version. I agree that you should try it again!
Steeping up beets shouldn’t be a problem. They are sugary but infusing them doesn’t leave you with any significant caloric or carbohydrate content. I’ve never found any tea without straight-up sweetener added to raise my blood sugar at all.
I still can’t believe you don’t like Forever Nuts . . .
well I haven’t tried it in awhile… maybe I like it now??
You want some on Sunday?

Oh now I’m tempted . . . ;)
