Review of Cacaoberry Green Tea
July 25th, 2011

A balanced but somewhat muddled tea. Brews a brownish-orange cup with a greenish tinge. Flavor is mild and smooth. Aroma is weak at first, but upon drinking, there's a strong fruitiness that emerges. I don't notice much of the base green tea, but the rooibos is definitely present.
Interesting to try, but unimpressive.
The website boasts "Top-Tier Sencha Sencha" but I am suspicious: I see a generous quantity of leaf in the sachet, and if this were top-tier sencha, I think I'd be able to notice it more strongly in the aroma.
