Key West

This is one of my oldest teas, so I put a priority on finishing it off by making a few quarts of it as iced tea. I got it from Snake River Tea in Boise, Idaho, and it is wholesaled from International Tea Importers (there is a similar blend with the same name from Adagio, but they are different; notably in the rose petal department, and this blend was strong in the rose floral notes! Snake River Tea in Boise uses ITI as a source for a lot of their blends, though it does appear they have stopped carrying this one at some point… proof I’ve held onto this one for far too long.) I don’t really like rooibos iced, but I do like green rooibos iced, so this blend worked well for me. The tea is mango/passion fruit flavored, but to me it tastes strongly of peach, with a punch of floral rose toward the finish. The green rooibos is very light with some subtle hay/vegetal notes that is mostly hidden under the strong fruity/floral flavors of the tea. It makes a very refreshing iced tea.
