I pulled out a selection of DTT rooibos blends a couple of days ago, and this was one of the first ones I decided to try. I really like creamy teas in general, but I have to admit that I was a little disappointed with this one. There’s hardly any cream to be found here. That’s a shame, because I think cream is something that would pair well with blueberry, especially the way Della Terra do it!
For my first cup, I gave 1 tsp of leaf 3.5 minutes in boiling water, and for my second I have 1.25 tsp of leaf nearly 4 minutes in boiling water. Neither yielded any cream flavour, although the blueberry is strong and juicy, very true to life. The rooibos base is a little too clear for my tastes — it’s slightly peppery and it gets in the way a little.
I have a couple more teaspoons of leaf to play around with, but I think this one isn’t going to be for me.
