Cocteau: Vanilla Grapefruit Mint Rooibos Tea (Caffeine Free)

$13.75
Size

Tastes Like: vanilla, ruby grapefruit, mint, clover honey
Feels Like: ethereal noise pop

This blend is a dazzling synesthetic experience where sound is like temperature and color has flavor. Warm and cool sensations move in textured rhythms. The tastes and scents wind and twist like shifting colors of an opal. With each sip, there is a dreamy dominant note. One moment, it’s pale yellow vanilla, then another, electric pink grapefruit. Another sip has bluish green mint, then brick-red earthy rooibos. Beauty is not always linear.

A tea for lovers of unusual herbal blends.

Minty fresh

I get the vanilla and grapefruit on the top with a minty finish. I will attempt to make this cold. Seems to be more fitting fur me.

Interesting flavor profile

This tea came as a FREE sample in my last order and I have to say I am very happy to get free samples as it gives me the opportunity to try teas I might never purchase. It has taken me awhile to brew this one as the ingredient profile did not appeal to me. After finally brewing some I have to say it's better than I expected. The mint and grapefruit stand out to me. I like mint but not so much in tea. The tea is refreshing and I believe many will enjoy it.
