This wonderful brew has large fig chunks blended with red rooibos and plenty of cinnamon.
I’m not typically a fan of cinnamon, but I’d say it matched perfectly with the fig and the natural sweetness of the rooibos to produce a wonderfully light taste.
Figs are a tremendously undervalued fruit here in the ‘states,’ but I’ve always enjoyed them.
This brew comes across light and refreshing while needing nothing added. The cinnamon provides the lightest spice to the sweet rooibos and savory-sweet fig.
I think everyone should try this one!
Preparation
Marigold petals and apricot pieces added to a splended black tea make for a nice looking assortment in the pouch this tea came in. The dry aroma is sweet and very creamy.
This tea brews a beautiful yellow-caramel liquor which effuses a subdued fruity and creamy aroma. I think I was expecting something stronger, but this was nice.
From the brew comes a light flavor profile containing the lightest of floral notes and fruit tones. You can clearly taste the apricot and the marigold petals comes through rather nicely in the finish and hold through the tail.
Brewed properly this blend has very little astringency and only the slightest hints of bitterness on the tongue.
Preparation
It’s a busy day back at work, this is the first cup of tea I’ve had for the entire day! I knew I wanted something black, and had taken most of them home from the office, so I was pleasantly surprised to find this one. Lovely cuppa (though, I see I’m in the minority according to the other tasting notes.:))
