carol who drank sassafras AKA Dwelling by AKA Dwelling

467 tasting notes

Oh, this is lovely! The root beer scent carries through in the aroma and taste. I remember sassafras plants from my childhood going to a YWCA camp in Michigan. It brings back such good memories.

Opening the package, the scent just knocked my socks off. It is obviously fresh. This hasn’t been sitting around in a warehouse!! Rarely have I had a tea this aromatic.

I added a bit of sweetener to my cup and I’m in heaven. It has such a lovely smooth mouth feel. Almost as if there is milk in it. It does have the typical sharpness of rootbeer that I would expect. I’m really not sure If I can save smoothness and sharpness in the same paragraph but that’s the way it feels.

AKA Dwelling is offering samples of this with a promise of a review. You might want to try it! Yummy!

Bio

Retired first grade teacher. I tend to like dessert type/herbal teas as a substitute for sweet treats; flavored black teas and mates to get that energy that I am often lacking ;-p
My husband of 43 years thinks I’m nuts regarding the whole tea thing… but he bought me a Breville for Christmas, so what can I say. :-D
My other interests are reading (books go well with tea :D) and beading. I volunteer at my “old” school teaching reading and I volunteer for the blind. I am trying hard to lose weight ( I have now lost 40 lbs and I’m looking good in my skinny jeans, IMHO) I am now walking about 4.5 miles a day and I am trying to do some core work for about 30 min. 3x a week.

I have been watching Doctor Who for 33years. In case you can’t tell my avatar is two daleks drinking tea! I am always open to swapping Doctor Who books for tea. I have about 120 Doctor Who books that I am eager to send some to a fan. :D Let me know if you would like any books! I love that so many people have begun watching DW!

Also I love swaps, pm me if you’d like to do a swap.

Since I find others’ rating legends helpful, I added my own.

95-100 A once in a lifetime experience; the best there is; will keep this stocked until the cows come home

90-94 First rate; top notch; really terrific; will definitely buy more

80-89 Excellent; likely to become a favorite, will likely buy more

70-79 Very good; would enjoy again, might buy again if in the mood for this particular one or a better, similar version not available or it’s on a really good sale :-)

50-69 Good; wouldn’t pass up if offered, but probably wouldn’t buy again unless craving this particular flavor

Below 50 Meh! Wouldn’t bother drinking it again.
