I bought this during the sale for Christmas. I’m a bit confused at the meaning of the name – I guess they just intend for this to be a tea to drink with movies? But “rebels”? I’m still confused. It’s a tough one to have for movie night because there IS still caffeine in here with the black tea. I really couldn’t tell with the flavor though – I would guess it was a rooibos base. The black tea doesn’t come through at all, which is odd. I would think the black tea flavor would be stronger than the rooibos. Anyway, otherwise the additional flavors are interesting and balanced. After a mostly rooibos flavor, I taste mostly coffee from the three coffee beans in the infuser, along with a bit of cocoa from the cocoa shells and only a hint of orange. I like cocoa or coffee teas, so I like it. Will I drink it with movie night? Probably not. But I don’t regret buying it! The B&B sale is coming up in a couple days… I wonder what will be on sale…

Ha yeah I’ve been browsing the website today planning what extra teas I want to pick up beyond the sale items!
Good idea… (which I really shouldn’t even think about doing haha)
I just posted my review on B&B’s site and this was the reply from Neve at B&B to my review: “So pleased to hear you’re loving Movie Rebels as much as we do! They are inspired by a popular movie night snack, any idea what that may be? hehe!” So it IS inspired by a movie snack but I suspect it’s a highly British movie snack and I still have no idea what it is. :D
oh snap, I just found out about ‘Revels’. Chocolate with different flavors inside, one is coffee. Never heard of them before! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revels_(confectionery)
