When I go for seasonal teas, I don’t really crave peppermint. While this is interesting and makes a nice after-dinner treat, it’s still not really something I’d get for the cupboard. As far as the rooibos goes, I really can’t taste it. Though the peppermint has that faint pickle taste that I swear is there but only I ever taste. Yeah, this actually tastes like peppermint bark. It’s desserty with creamy notes of white chocolate. It’s followed by a very nice, smooth vanilla. Though I guess green rooibos isn’t quite as bad…įlavor-wise, the mint is in the foreground and it is oh-so-tingly. I’m sure it will be interesting because this is definitely not something I would have chosen on my own. This is the quarterly Republic of Tea catalog freebie. I get that the green rooibos is likely there just to provide body, but why even bother at all? Why not use something else? In the end, I’m glad I had the opportunity to try this one and will give it points for decently approximating the flavor of peppermint bark, but I would most definitely not go out of my way to have it again.įlavors: Cocoa, Peppermint, Sugar, Sweet, Toast, Vanilla I also have a little bit of an issue with the teamakers seemingly deliberately obscuring a component of this blend to the point that it is just barely detectable.

It seems that a lot of herbal blends are going to rooibos as a base component these days, and while I like rooibos, I am undecided on green rooibos and tend to feel that rooibos of any sort is better on its own. I also noticed that the green rooibos base was just barely detectable. I am far from a fan of stevia, and I think this blend may have been slightly better without it. I think what killed this one for me was how muddled the flavors were and how sickly sweet this blend became toward the finish. So, it would appear that I am still looking for a tea from The Republic of Tea that I actually like. In the mouth, I got a muddy mix of peppermint, stevia, cocoa, vanilla creme, and toast followed by a finish that continued to emphasize peppermint, cocoa, and vanilla creme notes, though there was also an oddly sugary sweetness from the stevia that became a bit distracting for me. I could also pick up on a slight sugary scent from the stevia. There was a slightly toasty character that I presume was provided by the green rooibos. I am not in the habit of resteeping tisanes or anything in a teabag, so I did not attempt additional infusions.Īfter infusion, the liquor produced strong aromas of cocoa, vanilla, and peppermint. I steeped my sample bag in 8 ounces of 212 F water for around 5 minutes. I prepared this tea using a one step Western infusion.

I love peppermint, cocoa, and vanilla (I’m not sure how I feel about green rooibos at this point), so I figured this one might be a winner. I’m not a huge fan of the teas offered by The Republic of Tea, but hey, I figured that it wouldn’t hurt to try one more. Even though I am trying to primarily focus on unflavored teas and tea blends, I still wanted to give this a shot. I received a bag of this as a freebie with the quarterly Republic of Tea catalog.
