Let’s Do Tea – After 7 Seven Rooibos and Strawberry Green Tea Review

Today I will be reviewing 2 more teas I have from Let’s Do Tea – After Seven 7 Rooibos and Strawberry Green tea.
Or should I say, After 8 Rooibos tea?
I’ll be starting with the rooibos first. The ingredients of After Seven 7 Rooibos are rooibos, brittle bits, chocolate-nut bits, peppermint leaves, and flavourings. Call this priming, but after I smelt this tea I was reminded of Nestle After Eights Thin Mints! The tea smelt very strongly of mint with an undertone of chocolate. The color became a brilliant golden brown. The body was smooth in body and full of chocolaty mintiness. There was also a hint of nuttiness. Yum. Seriously, if Nestle After Eights Thins Mints was a tea, this would be it. So if you love minty chocolate without the guilt, this caffeine free tea is definitely for you.

The ingredients of the Strawberry Green are sencha green tea, fog tea, pai mu tan, lung chin, genmaicha, strawberry bits, sunflower blossoms, and flavourings. This tea contains gluten. I wasn’t even aware that tea can contain gluten! I wonder where it came from. Wow. This tea smells exactly like buttery popcorn. You have to smell this! The roasted brown rice from the genmaicha is coming off very strongly in this tea. There is a faint alluring aroma of strawberries in the background. Double wow. This tea is so amazingly buttery at first sip. This is one of the best loose teas I have had in a while. The strawberries and the smoky richness of the genmaicha complement each other so well. Phew here comes the caffeine. Sidenote – last night I had a cup of Mighty Leaf Tea at Moxie’s really late (my friend wanted beer and I don’t drink) and I ended staying up till 7 am because of all the caffeine!
After 8 Thin Mints and Buttery Strawberry Popcorn tea. Tea tasting doesn’t get any more fun than this. 
Cheers.
