Tasters Review:
Most of you who have been following this site for a while know I am a Bob Marley Fan. You may also know that we have reviewed other Marley Beverage Products here in the past. I, for one, enjoy them!
What you may NOT know (yet) is that our Marley’s Mellow Mood Reviews have brought us LOTS of new readers! We always welcome them with open arms! Just as Bob would! You see…Anne and I have the capabilities to see which keywords from which search engines bring us clicks. TONS of them are because of our reviews on Marley’s Mellow Mood Products – this makes us VERY happy! This means that LOTS of people out there are thinking and researching these products! And for them to take the time to visit our site – we are ALWAYS grateful! So, once again, WELCOME to those who are visiting specifically for the Marley Beverage reviews! We hope you bookmark us! And welcome back to our occasional as well as loyal visitors!
Having said all of that – we have another Marley’s Mellow Mood product review today! This time around we are featuring their Half Lemonade – Half Tea.
It certainly looks like iced tea in the bottle which carries the very recognizable Marley label! (Yes, I collect the bottles! I save at least one of each product!)
Once I cracked the cap there was a mellow yet sweet lemony and iced tea aroma coming from the bottle. It’s very pleasing!
I would say there is more lemonade than iced tea taste – at first taste – but the flavor is perfect! The Lemonade is a sweeter lemonade not a puckery one. The lemonade flavor itself reminds me of that fresh squeezed lemonade you get at those street fair stands – the ones where they squeeze it upon ordering and add real sugar to it right in front of you and then drop in lemon chunks to top it off! Yeah! That kind of Lemonade! The tea IS present but underneath. I can notice the tea taste linger a bit more at the end of the sip and on to the aftertaste.
Years ago my Grandfather used to make sun tea. I’m not sure if everyone who makes sun tea makes it the way he did but I will tell you it was THAT memorable. And this reminds me of it a little. He used to put several plain black tea bags in a glass see-thru pitcher or jug with water and let it sit in the Florida Sun all day…easy as that! Sometimes he would add fresh, whole lemons halved or sliced, even! Once the tea water was to the shade of dark he was looking for he would then bring it inside and add ice. Sometimes he would squeeze more lemon juice in there. And, of course, sometimes he would make it into his afternoon tonic. Regardless – this flavor remind me of him.
Even tho this is sweet – it’s fairly smooth, too! I think that helps with the aftertaste. Many of you know I am pretty particular about aftertastes! This is very nice! It’s gently lingers but it’s not too overpowering and it doesn’t have a funky artificial aftertaste to it…it’s a simple lemon and tea hint.
I really think the market for this product is limitless! You have those interested in TEA, those into Lemonade, and those who are looking for a combo of the two. In addition, most people who are fans of Bob Marley – or any of the Marleys and/or the charities they support are apt to try this product! PLUS…you have the natural and health aspects of the product! AND…the Marley Beverage Company is doing a lot to promote these great products! With their internet presence, social media, displays are various health food stores and chain stores, as well as being involved with a few Summer Festivals – they also support various charities – which I have mentioned in my previous reviews. More recently I read that the Marley’s donated $100,000 to Charity Water! That’s wonderful! I’m so happy Marley Beverages is coming out with more Tea Products! And we are very excited to try them and review them!
This is another winner from Marley Beverages! The flavor is natural, REAL, flavorful, and darn right tasty! On a personal level it takes me back to my childhood and memories of my Grandfather who I miss very much. It also is a wonderful tribute to Bob Marley and he would be proud to have his face on this product! Another GREAT JOB, Marley’s! From your friends at Sororitea Sisters!

Tasters Review:
You know when you go to Folk Art Fairs and you smell dried fruits and spices in potpourri…that’s what this smells like! This is very nice and very home-E.
The ingredients go well with the Rooibos here. I can first taste the cherries and cinnamon/stick as well as a hint of vanilla and sugar. I can also pick up on subtle hints of pineapple, mango, and anise. The after taste is sugary-fruity-sweet.
This is tasty! There is a lot going on here but it’s a fun and interesting cuppa!

Product Review from TeaEqualsBliss:
Anne and I are not only into tea and writing we are both into arts and crafts. A couple of weeks ago we were chatting about a few new features to SororiTEA Sisters and we decided to include Tea Related Art and Crafting Supplies and Outlets within our Product Reviews!
We felt there was a lack of joining the two interests – Tea and Arts/Crafts – online and on other Tea Review Sites so we decided since we try and include anything and everything TEA here at SororiTEA Sisters we would incorporate them here from time to time.
I have been a fan of the designers over at MyGraficO for quite some time! I have been and are on a few design teams and can’t get enough of their Digital Stamps, Clip Art, Digital Papers, etc. Lately I have noticed that MyGraficO has one of the better selections of Tea Related Digital Arts & Craft Components online. This made me VERY HAPPY!
As you can see from the images above I decided to make a card from this set! I make at least 3 Handmade Cards a week and I’m always looking for Tea Clipart and Digital Stamps to incorporate in my projects! I have been getting into some hybrid and altered paper projects as well and I’m sure I will blog about that down the road. There are some really neat things you can do with these sets! I have made Tea Swap Envelopes, Packages, Storage Containers, Album Title Pages, Altered Boxes and Tins, the list goes on and on!
Anyways, I hope you like my first card. And I hope you take a moment to visit MyGraficO! There are TONS of things on that site! The Designers are great and the shop owner is even a TEA FAN herself!
If you would like to read more about Digital Stamps – what they are – and how to use them – take a look at this article!
Stay tuned to SororiTEA Sisters for more Tea Related Arts and Crafts along with more Tea Product Reviews!

Ujaala is a stimulating blend of black tea and spices. It will rejuvenate and renew your stamina and energy.

Tasters Review:
The dry mix aroma reminds me of a pale chai. Post infusion – it smells like a sugary black tea with hints of spice…maybe more cinnamon than the other spice types.
The taste is wonderfully surprising. If you are looking for heavy spices – this is on the light side but I’m totally LOVING it! There is something naturally-sugary, too, that I can’t put my finger on but it’s delicious! It’s slightly chewy but not the chewy one may expect. This is VERY different and I really like it VERY MUCH!

I must say I am blown away with the new offerings over at Domo! Here is another new product of theirs…
Savanna Vanilla African Rooibos!
So far from the new products Domo is offering I am VERY impressed with the Aroma! The aroma prior to whisking was Vanilla Hot Chocolate-type smell…VERY tempting! After whisking a stereotypical yet highly scented Vanilla Rooibos.
The Color is that of a cloudy dark reddish brown. There are very small pebbles of powder floating on top which later I found to be sugary delights! The Taste is…WOW! Not only is it rooibos sweet but it’s SUGAR Sweet! And a lovely Vanilla! This is very VERY sweet and sugary and treat-like!
If you like sweet and you like sugar or if you try anything vanilla flavored – you will probably like this! If you are looking for something to satisfy your sweet-tooth…try this! Or if you are like me and just like trying new things! This is NEW…try it!
