Another well-executed fruit blend, albeit overpriced, from Teavana.

This one definitely did not smell like rooibos, and I think this is because they use green rooibos rather than red.

The aroma was pretty complex and had a lot going on...flavor is lightly tangy (thankfully not too much hibiscus, just the right amount for me), with a few darker herbal tones as well. Although it's fruity, I don't notice the blueberry, which is good, because I'm not crazy about blueberry in herbal teas. Less tropical-tasting than the name suggests; it seems more generically fruity.

Although this does contain artificial flavors, it smelled more natural to me than some blends that do.

Sampled at my friend Kevin's house; thank you to his mom for brewing this one for me! I'd be unlikely to buy this though, especially at the price--$14 for 4 ounces seems extremely steep for something with artificial flavoring in it, and combine that with Teavana's pushy sales practices and it's a no-go for me.
