Outsides: This herbal tea containes apple bits, carrot bits, bamboo, lemongrass, verbena, ginger, sunflower petals and natural flavor. I'm not gonna lie, the carrot sounds really interesting to me. I've had carrot in drinks before but never in tea. Anyway, I put 2 teaspoons of this in my mug and steeped it in 8 oz of boiling water for 5 minutes. The color is a light green and it smells citrusy. This also is a beautiful tea to watch steep because the liquid is almost clear and the herbal portion has so many colors in it.
Insides: The box suggested that this would taste tropical but it's really very citrusy and fresh tasting. The apple and carrot add sweetness to balance out the rest of the flavors such as lemongrass and verbena so although it's citrusy, it's not very sour. This really tastes like fresh squeezed lime with herbs in it as well. Although I wouldn't advise adding too much sugar, this seems like it would be a good alternative to lemonade.
Overall: It's interesting. Not amazing, but if you're into herbal teas then it's worth a try.
My Rating: Try it!
