I am sadly not getting any of the chocolate, very little of the banana (it might be a brief flirt at the beginning but then gone), the apple I think just sweetens it.
In summary, smells better than it tastes, it doesn't taste bad it just tastes like rooibos and after that smell you expect and want something more.
I have enough left for another pot, perhaps more, I think I'll try a shorter steep.
