I appreciate that several of Almost’s rooibos blends are on a green base! Did you ever try Lime Chiffon? Della Terra had it and I’m sure a few other places. This smells very much like that (which I can’t recall if it was a green or red rooibos base), minus a bit of the creaminess. The lime smells bright and well rounded. I would say it tastes the same too, a nice lime base without the creaminess. The lime is strong enough that I don’t get much of the rooibos flavors in there which is fine by me! It was a nice cup, but I decided to try adding creamer because I recall the Lime Chiffon being tasty with cream. It did not do good things for this tea and I didn’t even put that much in it. The lime flavor is muted quite a bit and I’ll make sure not to mess up my next cup of it. I like this tea well enough that I’d buy it if the price were a little lower than $1 a bag.

Would adding a little vanilla or vanilla sugar accomplish what you hoped the milk would do? As I started reading your note my thought was, “ooooo, add milk!” And then nope!

I don’t think I’ve ever added vanilla sugar to my tea! There is a market nearby that has some and I might have to try that!
