This is the last of the three samples that came with my DAVID’s 24 Days of Tea. I’m trying to decide if I like it or not. i’m usually a pretty big fan of spicy teas, but sometimes rooibos tastes off to me. That is the case here.
The scent must be quite strong with this one because I caught a faint whiff of it. I used twenty ounces of water in my small bubble tea pot and the whole sample package, and let it steep for 3.5 minutes. It is a lovely dark color, and as I said, it must have a wonderful scent. At the beginning of the sip I get a warm, cinnamon-y glow on my tongue. However, it is quickly followed by the woody rooibos. That quite ruins it for me. I drank about half of this and decided to pour the rest out.
I am giving this one a recommendation because I think someone who enjoys chair and rooibos would love this tea.
Flavors: Cinnamon, Wood
I’m actually a huge fan of chairs. I use them for sitting and sometimes to pile used-but-not-dirty clothes on.
But seriously, I can see how someone who dislikes rooibos wouldn’t like this. I’m a fan of this blend, but it is certainly rooibos-heavy.
