’Here’s Hoping’ Teabox Round #4 – Tea #3
Oh my gosh why does this one only get a 68 rating on Steepster!!?? It is so delicious! The most root beeriest of teas. Maybe others are brewing it as an iced tea and not liking it? Or brewing it hot and not liking it? I used quite lot of the blend, steeped for a few minutes right after boiling. The description here doesn’t seem like it includes everything… there is a ton of cinnamon pieces.. more than the black tea leaves. There is a ton of sarsaparilla flavor! I’m not sure what the sarsaparilla should like as an ingredient. I think there should be mallow root instead of the white chocolate chips, which I don’t see anyway. I’m surprised there isn’t more cinnamon flavor. The color of the brew is light brown so the black tea itself isn’t very strong. But whoa it just somehow tastes so much like root beer. I would drink this instead of root beer! I also added some rock sugar. The second cup was just as tasty but slightly more cinnamon. I might keep the last couple of teaspoons of this one if it is so underappreciated. :D
Steep #1 // 2-3 tsps. // just boiled // few minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // few min steep

I can’t believe the average rating is that low too!
I really love it but found out about it too late to stock up, and now I’m worried they won’t bring it back this summmer :(
I THINK that the rating is so low because when this first came out it was right alongside that ghastly Cherry Cola blend that EVERYONE hated – and so this one got a bit of a bad rep by association? And, the reblend (while super similar) was also better IMO, and I think many of the reviews for this one are older?
Ah, could be. Thanks!
