Sipdown! (20 | 117)
Mastress Alita’s Sipdown Challenge (August) – “A cheap tea”
This isn’t the cheapest tea in my stash, but I just find Simpson & Vail’s teas to be ridiculously well-priced in general. Like somewhere in the $4-5 for 2 ounces range usually. And there are many of them that I personally really enjoy, and I would consider myself a somewhat picky tea drinker. I would love to see S&V get more recognition!
Anyway. This one is not my favorite of their green rooibos dessert tisanes, but it’s still very pleasant to sip on. Mild, with a soft and sweet cinnamon flavor and a touch of nutmeg. I’m not sure I get much in the way of frosting, which makes it more like a spiced muffin flavor profile IMO.
It’s nice and I enjoyed it while I had it, but probably not a reorder for me.

I agree that S&V doesn’t get enough recognition!
What are your favorite green rooibos blends from S&V?
Hmm I’m not sure, I remember really like their Winter Wonderland but it’s been a bit since I last had it. :P
Thanks! I think I will place an order for a friend’s bday. She is hard to buy for and drinks mostly caffeine free teas.
I know my favorite green rooibos blends from them are snickerdoodle, blueberry cinnamon crumble, and this one.
There’s also a birthday cake green rooibos that I’ve never tried, but will definitely have to order next time!
Thank you, CameronB and AJ Rimmer! I looked at their site and when I click herbals, none of these pop up. Same with decaf. I had to search for them individually. Maybe it is because I have an ancient iPad, but without your suggestions I would never have found these.
I just checked, and it looks like they’re redoing their website, so I can’t find those blends by checking the proper category either. Hopefully they’re planning to keep them around!
Aha! You have to go under Collections, and then Dessert Teas. Not the best organization structure I’ve ever seen.
Yeah it’s a bit odd, I found most of them under the Dessert collection. Except for Winter Wonderland, which is under Holiday, and Birthday Cake, which is nowhere to be found ha ha.
