Ahh the Swiss and their mountains. They love those darn things. They also love things like Swatch watches, the 80's, skiing competitions, pop music, fluorescent colors, and precision. I would love to meet the person who made this tea because I can almost guarantee that they had a gnarly, white beard. He is a man of the forest. One man scours the trees and bushes for the best ingredients to make this tea. It's all over the place, too, much like the decor in that man's cabin in the woods. Oh, I'm sorry. Did you think that it was going to be a standard issue log cabin? No. He was a mechanical engineer in his early life so everything has switches, dials, chutes, and tubes. If you talk to him, he will outright tell you that a bank closed down and he bought all the vacuum tubes for his house.

Anyhow, he puts these ingredients together into was is a cool, sweet iced tea. It tastes minty because there is peppermint in it but it also has an earthy taste, like woodsy. The same thing that is "bark-like" about, say, a spruce beer, is what gets me about this. This is a carefully made drink that deserves to be sipped and analyzed.

That lovely Swede makes a wonderful tea that, although isn't cheap, deserves to be tries a couple times because it's that good and that different.
