The smell reminds me of pipe tobacco; a rich vanilla scent.
While brewing, it smells much of the same, only with a bit less of vanilla.
With some milk and a bit of sugar, tastes very much like a vanilla rooibos: simple, comforting, woody vanilla.
This would probably be great iced, though I prefer my tea warm. It’s too cold out for me to be in the mood for iced tea, so perhaps I’ll save a bit for the warmer seasons to ice.
I love the smell of certain pipe tobaccos…vanilla being one…
Reminds me of my late, great uncle RIP Uncle Bob
