TreeGal drank Fruta Bomba by Teavana

249 tasting notes

Deliciously fruity fragrance, but none of it carries into the flavor. Mine just tastes bitter/woody/acrid/astringent and just kind of gross. It’s such a disconnect it’s rather jarring. The aftertaste is vaguely fruity, I guess. It might be partially a brewing issue because of the green tea/rooibos combo, but this is so awful I don’t even want to try again. And frankly, I didn’t brew it too terribly hot, nor too very long.

Flavors: Astringent, Bitter, Wood

Preparation

205 °F / 96 °C 3 min, 30 sec 3 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

Bio

Wife, mom of 2 crazy young kids (and 3 cats, if they count). Used to be a professional tree hugger, now I stay at home hobbit-like and teach the kids to love the trees. Also hobbit-like, I love reading, tea, second breakfasts, cooking and food in general, and gardens. (I can’t really say I love gardening since where I live, it’s too dratted hot for too much of the year to actually do it.) I am always on the search for a good flavored decaf black tea. Suggestions are more than welcome!

I tend to like my teas strong, so I use more than most people when I brew. Don’t be put off a tea because I say I used 4 tsp to brew 12 oz or something – that’s just me.

PS – Unlike a hobbit, my toes are not furry. I just feel the need to clarify.
