Advent Day 2
I have a bird on my shoulder who isn’t happy about me using my hands to type this instead of give her head rubs!
After going through loving rooibos blends to hating them, I’m starting to come around to the idea that they are okay in certain circumstances. I’ve seen it used acceptably in blends with black tea and green rooibos isn’t bad. It’s okay in this cup. There is more flavor in here than I expected which may be due in perspective to the weaker T2 cup I had earlier and I purposefully used the entire packet, overleafing slightly from my usual. I get a caramel butterscotch flavor for sure, but it isn’t as bold as other butterscotch teas I’ve had. It says there are apple pieces, but I don’t taste them and am chalking them up more to decoration. It’s an okay cup overall.

I feel like I started out hating rooibos blends and am slowly coming around to loving certain ones haha!
I kind of go back-and-forth on red rooibos. I’m currently liking it though! :P
I’m feeling the same way about hibiscus. I usually hate it, but there have been a few blends that use it in moderation and it really rounds out the flavors well.
Dustin – I have a bird…not on my shoulder but it won’t GO AWAY! Ha ha! My husband found an injured bird on the road and brought it home. We nursed it back to health and now it sits on the window sill looking in. It CAN fly, but it won’t. It is either a do e or a white racing pigeon. We spent three days tracking down the owner and he doesn’t seem to want it back. It should have flown home on its own.
Looks like you might have been adopted and it’s attempting to slowly peck it’s way into your heart!
We just fostered a green cheek conure that a neighbor found until we located the owner, an injured crow before that and raised a nest of starlings until they were big enough to fly off. All since covid.
My last companion animal was a cockatiel. She was a companion of 21 years, too (I was just 16 when my family got her, and when I moved out after high school, she came with me!). Lost her in May 2019. I think a lot of pet owners undermine just how loving and intuitive a feathered friend can be!
