I don’t know how I feel about this tea currently. I made this into an iced tea and have had several cups of the tea today.

In the tin, I see large clumps of rhubarb which thrilled me because I love to eat rhubarb raw (just thinking of the tart flavour makes my mouth water – even while I write this). Brewing it is a delightful deep red colour and smells rich. But… and this is where I become conflicted… the tea brewed sweet, smooth, with a hint of strawberry cream flavour. I did not get any of the typical flavours I would expect in strawberry rhubarb combination, instead I felt more like I was sipping on creamy strawberry ice cream.

I cannot give this a rating or a recommendation for others to try. I will try a hot brew and another ice tea brew and see if I get different results.

I totally know what you mean by that specific mouth-watering feeling that tart foods trigger. I hope you can get more rhubarb out of this! I luckily can but yeah, it’s not as strong as what one would think.

I am determined to make a great cup of this that makes me go “ah there you are my old friend!”

Bio

I am happily married to my husband who definitely is the chatterbox of our 20 year relationship. Together we have three rambunctious children 2 daughters and a son who is stuck in the middle of the girls. We also have a 17 year old fur baby (cat) who likes to the rule house and tell us at midnight it is time to pay attention to him rather than sleep.

I am an elementary school teacher, teaching grade 3/4 with a mixed bag of learning abilities and educational needs. I love my job and share my passion for learning with my students.

I have been a tea drinker since I was allowed to take my first sip, which was very early in life and was mostly the Rose Hip and Earl Grey my grandma would brew by the pot full and serve when company came over. Later in my teen life (once I had more choice of my own) I fell in love with peppermint and green teas. I love hot brews and iced teas. Now I will try just about any kind of tea as long as it doesn’t contain nuts or gluten (damn allergies ruin everything).

I prefer my tea to be natural, meaning without any added sweeteners or cream/milk. I want to be able to experience the tea as it was intended.

My Rating Scale:
0-20: OMG what did I just put into my mouth! I cannot keep this it must be trashed or rehomed.
20-40: Horrible, not something I will drink again, but someone else may still like it
40-60: Ok, nothing overly special, it is kept around because others like it
60-80: Good, either I or someone else in the house liked it
80-95: Great! Will drink this occasionally and will keep it around
95-100: Absolutely amazing, and must keep it in stock at all times!

I invite you to join me as I go through my stash and share my thoughts and opinions on the teas as I and my family drink them (or eat them as my 3 year old says when I use matcha in icing)
