2022 Spring Tea Swap – Day 13
From Emilie!
I love cream soda, so I was excited to see this one in my swap from Emilie. It has coconut in the mix which I thought was an interesting addition to (I assume) contribute to the cream element. This one was strange to me though. It started out with sort of a menthol aroma. As many times as I told myself I must be imagining it, I would notice it again. As it cooled, it began to taste more and more like root beer. Also a surprise because I personally don’t think cream soda tastes anything like root beer. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe it’s supposed to. I’m looking at the ingredient list and this must be coming from the sarsaparilla. I love root beer too but not generally in tea form, so that’s part of the turnoff for me here. To be fair, I only used a teaspoon instead of the recommended 2 teaspoons so perhaps that’s part of my issue. It was lighter than I would typically like my tea. I’ll hold my rating since I didn’t follow the instructions. Fingers crossed I get it right on the second cup!
Flavors: Menthol, Root Beer
