So I am a bit behind, but I have 3 more teas to review. African solstice is rooibos tea with sweet berries and rose. I was a bit sceptical as rooibos isn't my favorite tea, but I was pleasantly surprised. You can definitely smell the berries. It tasted strongly of berries, but it was balanced out by the other ingredients. I was worried about it being sour because of the berries, but the sweet berries lived up to their name, the tea was actually pretty sweet (should be noted I drink my tea plain. Even though I originally hail from Florida, I can't stand sweet tea). Didn't think I'd do this given my rather poor first experience with rooibos, but I give this tea a solid 5/5. This will definitely be going into my rotation.
Next tea is vanilla pear. It's a white tea with vanilla orchid (yes, the vanilla plant is in point of fact an orchid, hence why real vanilla is crazy expensive) and baked pear. It wasn't horrible, but I wasn't impressed by the flavor. Honestly it tasted pretty artificial. 2.5/5, wouldn't be mad if you gave it to me, but wouldn't buy this myself.
Last tea is citrus mint. It's an herbal tea with well, peppermint and citrus. The smell was promising, but sadly the mint dominated the flavor on this one. Granted it is probably the smoothest mint tea I've had, but it does not taste of citrus at all. I give it 3/5. Good if you want a nice mint tea, but don't expect any citrus flavor.
That catches us up for now, now to go brew a another pot.....
