Emergency tea from today. By emergency I mean I can’t find any tea bags in my purse and had to run to the nearby cafe for a tea. So not really an emergency at all.
I added a dash of brown sugar because I needed that this morning. It brings out the honeysuckle and sugar notes in this blend. The rooibos is not as minerally or woody as usual rooibos blends are. If I had to describe the wood I would say it’s more like dry twigs than a specific type of wood smell (e.g. hickory or pine) but it does remind me of new woodchips when they re-do a chip trail. But maybe 5% of that intensity and mostly in the aftertaste.
I get some fruity notes but more like dried generic fruits than anything specific. I also get some almondy notes like amaretto or toasted marzipan (but less strongly than other blends like African Celebration by Jeoffrey’s Tea)
Flavors: Almond, Honey, Honeysuckle, Rooibos, Sweet
That’s an emergency and a reminder for me to check my secret 911 tea purse compartment!
