Bio
I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.
Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.
Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.
I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!
My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike

Never tried green rooibos yet…
It’s my favorite base for fruity teas!
I guess I need give it a try. If only I get it somewhere, seems rare here.
I agree with AJ, green rooibos is way nicer blended with fruity or citrus flavors, IMO. I tend to get off-putting medicinal notes when red rooibos is mixed with those flavors. But the green rooibos is far more uncommon and finding blends with it can be troublesome.
So far I found only two Czech vendors having green rooibos blends. Some are offering the pure rooibos though.
Simpson & Vail has some really yummy green rooibos teas. ❤
I am afraid they will be too high shipping fees as I have checked out their website.
The Blueberry Lemon blend from Cuppageek contains green rooibos.
I guess I know what I will brew today :D
