I knew once I saw the ingredient list that this tea would be a unique experience: Sarsaparilla Root, Chicory Root, Roasted Dandelion Root, Carob Pods, Cinnamon, Fennel, Crystal Malt and Coconut.I meant to steep it for longer, but someone came to the door at four minutes in, so that's all this blend got. Four minutes seemed to bring out plenty of flavour, so while Red Leaf Tea recommends longer, I figured this worked all right.
I was certainly not misled by my assumptions about this blend. It has a distinct sarsaparilla flavour, but the overall taste is thoroughly herbal without coming across as a sweeter desserty blend. The cinnamon and coconut add interesting dimensions, and the carob brings it all together.
In the end, I didn't actually enjoy this cup very much, but that isn't to say that others wouldn't. It just is not a flavour I prefer. This is the sort of blend that I may not buy, but I definitely recommend everyone try it. Red Leaf Tea had an interesting idea that they executed well, and this is certainly not the sort of flavour you can easily find elsewhere. If you're less persnickety than I am, you could just end up loving it.
