Swap from Meghann M
This was a very interesting tea, a nice smooth fresh strawberry (not sweet like a pie or candy), with a hint of rooibos, then an aftertaste of light pepper.
I am enjoying my cup, I don't think I'll buy it again, but I am very much enjoying this.
The kept saying Rooibush, I am assuming this is the same as Rooibos.
Post-Steep Additives: none
Resteep: 5 min, very weak, a few more minutes and it was peppery rooibos the strawberry seems to be subdued
Rating: 2/4 leaves
