The version of this tea that I tried was an eco teabag from Teaforte’s Skin Smart line. The ingredients are purported to be antioxidant amplifiers and this particular blend is for corrective repair. We all know how I feel about health benefits, schmealth benefits but does it taste any good? I was surprised to find that this was a pretty decent cup of tea. It was tart, sweet and somewhat nutty with cherry being the most dominant flavor. I would consider this a dessert tea but I love that it isn’t loaded up with sugar. If you like to sweeten your tea, I think a touch of agave is all this one would need. It isn’t something that I would reach for on a regular basis but I’d be pretty happy if a restaurant or hotel was offering it. I am interested in trying the loose leaf version now, though the ingredients are different so they would probably not taste exactly the same.
