Sampling

At long last I am getting around to tasting the samples. Life can get crazy when you least expect it to.

First, you can't really taste more than a few at a time, or your taste buds get way over loaded.

The first one we tried was the Strawberry/ Pepper Black Tea Boy was I surprised. I thought pepper in teas would taste strange, but the Pink Peppercorns mixed with the black tea, strawberry flavor, and the addition of freeze-dried strawberry pieces was wonderful. I even had great comments from a couple of friends who happened to be over when we tasted these.


The next one we tried was the Pumpkin Creme Flavored Rooibos I'm not sure if it was the flavoring or the rooibos, but NOBODY who tasted it liked it


Next up was Watermelon Fruit Tea This was a hit with everyone that not only tasted it, but smelled it. This "tea" is comprised of only fruit. Apple Pieces, Carrot Flakes, Freeze-dried Watermelon Flakes, Honeydew Melon Cubes, Beet root, and Freeze-dried Strawberry Slices.


The last tea for this session was the Chocolate/Orange Flavored Rooibos. I could not even bring myself to taste it. The smell out of the package was just way to clawing. Leipiki did taste it and her words were " OMG !!! YUCK". So I guess that one won't find its way into our inventory.
