Daughter Advent Day 9
Not every day of the advent is tea, but a great many of them are! Every day includes some candy – usually Lindt truffles or my favorite Cookie M&Ms. I have lots of new tubes of watercolor paint and new teas, too!
This is a sample sized pouch that was included with the other teas she ordered. I steeped it up to drink with our advent candy during our Beatrix Potter story time tonight.
I usually don’t like red rooibos ( I really enjoy green rooibos, though) but I have found one or two flavored blends that I actually like and I even liked Fortnum & Mason’s plain rooibos. (I did NOT like the one from Harney and Sons, though. My apologies to Harney because I want to love everything you sell but we can’t win them all.) I enjoy Lupicia’s Caramel and Rum Rooibos and there was a rooibos chai that Youngest sent a while back that was really good.
This goes in the category of red rooibos that I can drink. The funny thing was that I offered Ashman a cup and he said that he doesn’t like red rooibos and he doesn’t like fig but he would try it. He ended up drinking two cups, so I guess he didn’t mind it.
There is also hazelnut flavor here, and when I opened the pouch I smelled it and could not figure out what I was smelling at first, I just knew knew it was super familiar and it wasn’t the fig. The rooibos was more woody than Robitussin-y, so that means this blend and I can be friends.
