Yeah, ok, so the root beer flavor is pretty authentic. The rooibos comes through pretty strong too. The novelty of it wore off after the first cup. It’s just not TEA. well, obviously, it’s rooibos. But root beer? not really want I want. I don’t even drink soda. Ever. At least not in some 8 years and before that I drank it quite sparingly. The last time I had root beer was way back when as a kid when my parents went to pizza every friday night and root beer was the pizza-beverage of choice every time. Ugh, I hate pizza too. Nonetheless, there was something almost nostalgic about this tea the first time I had it, enough to make me try another cup, but it’s just not working out for me. Some cozy family memories are best left as they are, in my head.
This is You :-D

My Rating System
100 My happiness absolutely depends on it
95 Will definitely repurchase
85: Might repurchase (teas that depend on my mood)
75 Won’t repurchase (but I would drink it again if offered).
65: meh
45: I reluctantly finished a cup.
15: Couldn’t finish a cup.
I simplified my ratings to single numbers rather than ranges because I can’t precisely compare so many teas with a system more detailed than this.
An unrated tea is most often one that I recognize as having significant notable quality, but that does not suit me personally. Sometimes, I leave teas unrated for other reasons, such as I am undecided or I brewed it wrong, etc.
Note: Boiling temp. barely reaches 200 where I am (and a few times it sticks at 195, I assume due to unexplainable shifts in altitude or the position of the moon. . .aliens?. . .).
