Summer in a Cup

This is a sipdown!

I really enjoyed this tea. It was good hot and iced, and it was awesome that it was caffeine free so I had another evening option that had nice flavor.

I stand by former statements – it made me love green rooibos, tastes apple and peachy, was refreshing and resteeped like a champ. I always made three and combined them.

It is always a treat to find an herbal tea that leads with something other than lemon or mint. Nary a trace of either in this lovely little nightcap. I am learning to love green rooibos, and it makes a very pleasant base for the marshmallows and fruit. None of the fruit flavors stand out individually—-or at least in my small Advent-sized sample—-just gently and pleasantly fruity and sweet. Another review recommend overleafing a bit; I believe I’d agree with that.

The main flavor here is the pillowy soft green rooibos and marshmallow root. There’s also some lovely fruitiness that I can’t quite name. This one does better overleafed so you can really taste the flavors. It’s the tastiest, most cohesive green rooibos blend I’ve had in a while. The flavor is light, but perfect.

I drank entire cup this without really even realizing it as I attempted to complete an assignment in R, which is apparently not the easiest thing. I also missed the timer on the steeping time because I had awesome new noise cancelling headphones on haha. Bit of a catastrophe with the tea prep today.

However, I barely took note of any flavours here! I do remember it tasting like a summery juice. Maybe some peach, which came off very realistic, and some strawberry which was also realistic. I love when companies use green rooibos as a base rather than red, so this tea already had a head start.

Thanks for a great cuppa Nichole :)

I completely get VariaTEA ‘s note of Fruit Loops. I don’t know if the taste same/very similar to our jelly rings, but hey it was exactly that flavour what I would expect from Fruit Loops as well.

Peach was the strongest note today, marshmellow in made the brew quite on sweet side and enjoyable. I don’t think I have noticed other fruits somehow distinctive; but it was mild and quite nice for the afternoon, lecture drink.

This is the tea I grabbed out. Actually, its the one my sister grabbed. I insisted her and my brother-in-law open the advents with me. They were not nearly as excited as I was but here we are haha.

This was an interesting one to have today given how much snow I woke up to. I realized now the picture I took could have been infinitely better if I put it in the snow but not possible now. Oh well.

Anyways, the tea itself is good. It’s got great fruit flavor. It’s honestly a bit fruit loops like for me. At least what I remember of fruit loops since its been forever since I had them. This tea also boasts peach and strawberry ingredients and I can see how this tea leans into those flavors a bit. Though no fruit flavor is overly distinct. I also like that marshmallows add a fluffiness here that pairs with the fruit notes well.
