Thayer St.

I really wasn’t sure if I would like this or not…so…I just grabbed enough for a cup…it’s finishing the infusion now…It smells like Rooibos, Orange, and Chamomile. eeeh

It’s a murky light brown in color.

It has a very sweet and juicy taste to it. Almost like when you bite into an orange…and the juice squirts you in the back of the throat and you nearly choke…lol…anyhow…the first sip I wasn’t too hot on but it did get a little better…tolerable.

It tastes like an orange-E Rooibos…light on the Rooibos…with a VERY small hint of Chamomile…thank the tea gods for that…I’m not into chamomile but this is doable.

I like this one better than I thought I would although I doubt I would buy it if I saw it. Then again it’s one of those don’t judge an herbal/rooibos by it’s blend, I guess. It’s not too bad, really, I guess.

Weird. Really that is the best I can say. Starts off woody rooibos, shifts to minty, then ginger burn. It’s not unpleasant. It’s just odd.
