Today's Tea: Mighty Aphrodite

Mighty Aphrodite from DAVIDsTEA


Description: Since the day we opened our doors, raspberry leaf has been our number one most-requested ingredient. Why? Because it’s a girl’s best friend, especially for soon-to-be moms. Seriously, there are tons of amazing benefits to explore… But we mostly love it for its sweet, herbal taste, especially in this calming blend of apple, rosehips, lemon balm and raspberries. It’s deliciously soothing, lightly fruity and super good-for-you. (MK Kosher)

Steph's Thoughts:
NO, I'm not expecting, but it's a new tea, and new teas are always excellent. Also, raspberry. Chances are if it has raspberry in it, I'll buy it.

I decided to have this tea cold. It's a very light tea - the loose leaves are very dust-like. It makes it very interesting to steep.

It does require a little bit of sweetener as it's not quite sweet enough for my tastes on its own. It doesn't have a bold flavour, so a longer steep time might be necessary.

It is very yummy, though. Soothing, refreshing, and I assume, based on the ingredients, that it's good for you too. The apple flavour and lemon balm comes through nicely. It makes for a nice cup of tea at the end of the day.

And hopefully soon I'll be needing this for reals. In the meantime, I'm just gonna call it my "I'm HOPING" tea.

Verdict: Thanks for listening, DT! Nicely done.
