Went to an afternoon tea with my mom at the UofMN arboretum. The sad but frank truth is that I admit I have become sort of a tea snob. I was almost tempted to pack my own tea and some empty teabags (the diy kind) and make my tea instead. I am glad that I opted to just have a mug of my tea before I left. Why? Because I actually enjoyed a couple of teas they had served. The venue ended up putting a plate of tea bags from White Bamboo Tea (which I believe is a part of White Lion Tea). I didn’t like them all but I did really enjoy this herbal.
In a shorter steep, roughly 3-4 minutes, this one changed my mind.
Preparation: Western
Tasting Note: Immediately what I noticed was this was actually lightly sweet not overly tart like many hibiscus teas are. The taste reminded me of fruit loops, sort of, which is ironic since I haven’t eaten the cereal in decades. Anyways, not a bad herbal tea bag.
