Let’s start with Starbucks’ description of the Teavana Comfort Wellness Brewed Tea:
“Balance your being with our herbal infusion crafted with lemon, ginger, fennel, licorice root and soothing mint.”
- Here’s Teavana’s description:
- “Feeling upset or unsettled? Reach for this calming rooibos blend. Ginger and lemon smooth and soothe while spearmint and peppermint lend a sweet, uplifting note. Made with natural ingredients.”
- “Kick of ginger, fennel & licorice spices with a soothing spearmint & peppermint finish.”
My Recommendation
I’m not a huge fan of Rooibos, but I could see this tea benefiting from a couple additions. If you’re drinking this at home, try adding a little lemon and honey, which should complement the existing flavors well.
My Experience
If you aren’t familiar with Rooibos, it’s a non-caffeinated, non-tea plant that can be used to make herbal teas. It doesn’t taste like tea leaves because it isn’t tea.
What does rooibos taste like? I’ve seen its flavor described as reminiscent of tobacco, and I personally find it to be a little musky, or even stinky. I’m making it sound way worse than it is, as it’s a pretty mild-tasting tea overall, and I had no issues finishing my cup.
Aside from the dominant musky flavor of rooibos, I also got a very mild sweetness and mint from this tea.
Verdict
A lot of people like rooibos, but personally, I’m not a big fan. However, if you like a very mild rooibos with a touch of mint, this should work for you.
