Sipdown! (27 | 342)
From Deb’s latest collection. I love the idea of this one – I drank and ate POG-flavored everything when I was in Hawai’i last year, and it’s a wonderful combination. Also, I adore guava-flavored anything, so I was excited to see guava flavoring in the ingredients.
However, this one falls short for me because of the rooibos. It’s too rooibos-heavy in my opinion, and the rooibos comes off quite medicinal, maybe because it’s combined with fruit flavors? It seems like more rooibos than black tea to me, although it’s not according to the ingredients list.
The sweet-tart guava flavoring with the orange slices is quite enjoyable, but the rooibos heaviness ruins it for me. Would love to see this one on a plain black base or even a green base though. :)
