*Tea #11 from Traveling Tea Box C* Backlog. With rooibos and hibiscus both listed as ingredients in this tisane, I fully expected the liquor to be unmistakably red. Instead, it was a sickly yellow...

*Tea #10 from Traveling Tea Box C* Another backlog. This reminded me a lot of melted ice cream or perhaps even the freeze-dried ice cream that gets marketed as astronaut food. Perhaps I'm too...

*Tea #9 from Traveling Tea Box C* Backlog. Mmm, creamy honeydew goodness. I'm beginning to think that melon and white tea were made to be together. The yogurt does add much in the way of flavor, but...
