Not being much of a pumpkin spice guy, I initially tried this one because I just started working at the coffee shop I ordered it from (and I take knowing our menu very seriously). I was surprised to be delighted from the very first sip.
This is an interesting take on a fall flavor because it isn’t really spicy. It’s sweet, rich, tempered with an almost delicately salty edge that reminds me of the caramel frosting I used to have on pound cake. My mouth feels swaddled in the warm caress of brown sugar. This is definitely a comfort cup.
I am not a red rooibos fan. I like green rooibos in flavored blends, though.
