My last post before the winner of the contest is announced!!!!   Make sure you submit your work to me at CAFelegi@aol.com!

The final tea is a nice hot cup of Red Rose Tea :-)

One cute thing about Red Rose Tea is how with every box, there comes a ceramic prize.   I got the nautical theme, which had a diver's helmet within.

Not going to lie, that was most definitely an adorable perk.   After all, who doesn't like a little free gift in their box of tea?

The tea box that I received had tea packaged in tea bags, 100 total.   That's going to be a lot of cups!   The brew is an amber color, a typical black tea.   The smell is not strong either, which is nice.   Sometimes, you'll get an overbearingly strong tea and that turns off the entire experience.

When I took a sip, I was surprised that this was more of a dry tea.   So, don't expect to have a wet whistle after taking a few sips.   However, again, keep in mind that does not necessarily mean that it is unpleasant.   It's like drinking a dry wine.

The taste has a sweet aftertaste, which, with my latest sweet tooth craving, is PERFECT!   It has the bitterness of the black tea with the aftertaste of a fruity herbal.

Overall, I will definitely be brewing a lot more cups of this tea!
