117 Tasting Notes
Well, I made it stronger, and it’s better. Still not great, but better. Given how much dry tea it took, I estimate the two-quart pitcher of iced tea costs $2.25 to make. That’s awfully expensive for iced tea. I won’t be buying this again because of that, even though the flavor’s good.
I have now tasted all five Teavana teas I bought this morning… I didn’t mean to drink them all in one day. But I couldn’t help myself!
This tea is very, very sweet. It works pretty well if my sweet tooth is itching for something, but I don’t see this being a regular drink for me. Once in a while it will be nice, though. It’s very chocolatey, and quite tart. The fruit is a nice addition. It does kind of remind me of a chocolate praline, although the flavor isn’t quite the same. Not bad!
Preparation
You know, I’ve referred to lots of teas over the years as smooth. Honeybush isn’t. It’s kind of harsh, actually, but it’s still good. Tea with teeth.
