I do NOT like the taste of rooibus. At all. I have never quite forgiven it for not being actual tea, and so when I was stranded at a location where I could not get my hands on decaf black, but where I desperately needed a cuppa for the evening before bed, I grudgingly said, “OK, fine, I’ll try it. It’s better than nothing, after all.”
Friends, it was way better than nothing, and better than something, and while I will probably not keep a large stock of this tea in my house at all times (because I can’t forgive the rooibus) – it was a rooibus where I drank it and I did not instantly hate it.
I actually liked it.
Joking with a friend, I said, “It’s the Fire Nation, it’s sure to be a disaster.” And the friend replied later, after also trying the tea, “Wow, the Fire Nation really has it together – wait, did I just say that?”
So, shockingly, it’s a rooibus I recommend. But do give it a splash of milk, or the peppercorns will probably go after your mouth like an Angry Fire Nation Person.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Pepper

Seems like a bit of a cop-out to make fire nation a chai ha ha, but at least it was tasty! :P
Yeah, but can you really figure out another way to get “hot” other than masala chai? Friday Tea does a Pokemon: Team Rocket tea that’s all peppercorns (Prepare for Trouble) but this one is less likely to make my stomach mad at me, so I’m all for it. :-)
(Prepare for Trouble is delicious, but I drank too much of it and gave myself indigestion!)
Lapsang maybe?
I could see that – except I believe they were deliberately trying to stick with the rooibus for this one, to counter the Puer in the Earth Kingdom tea.
