Ingredients: green rooibos, cane sugar, white chocolate chips, pink sugar mix, blackberry, raspberry, gomphrena petals, hibiscus, strawberry leaf, nat. & art. flavouring.
I can detect a hint of the gross (to me at least) raspberry flavouring agent in the tea's aroma but there's also the white chocolate (which never smells as good as it tastes) and some of the other fruity scents as well. Overall the smell of this tea is not bad but it's not as inviting as I'd like.
The flavour is very sweet, I taste the white chocolate and the strawberry more than the raspberry flavours themselves. Being based on green rooibos the tea has a milder, lighter flavour to begin with so the fruitiness and sugary bits do come through fairly well, the mix just doesn't WOW me. It reminds me a lot of the Strawberry Rhubarb Parfait. I am often hesitant to try raspberry flavoured comestibles for the reasons I alluded to above so this rooibos being merely okay is actually a bit of a win. Not enough of one to make me love this tea however.
Not overly recommended.
PS. I have no idea what gomphrena petals are or why they should be in tea.
