I’m not usually a fan of rooibos tea. I find sometimes the leaves can be really overpowering and dominate any other flavour that’s apparently in the tea and then the tea itself just starts to taste like soap after a while.

But my friend and I were making Christmas cookies, and she suggested a tea from her advent calendar, and this was the one we picked because it was sometime in December. The pumpkin spice gave this tea a really nice body, and more spice than I was expecting so it had a nice mouthfeel. It was slightly herbal from the valerian and did actually taste like orange, so, there you go. A rooibos tea I didn’t totally hate.

Flavors: Fruity, Orange, Orange Zest, Pumpkin Spice

195 °F / 90 °C 5 min, 15 sec 2 tsp 10 OZ / 300 ML
