The tea from Day 3 of the Teanzo Advent Calendar. The rooibos leaves seem to be very finely chopped – even smaller than “usual” and some of the tiny leaf particles slipped through my basket infuser of my Kati Tumbler which has a very fine mesh so if you typically use an infuser basket, I’d recommend swapping that out for the T-Sac type of DIY tea bags that Teanzo includes with this calendar to keep any rooibos leaves from straying.
This is a tasty rooibos blend. The sweet notes of the rooibos as well as the nutty flavors marry nicely with the citrus notes. It’s not overly flavored and usually I do like a strong flavoring in my rooibos blends because I’m not crazy about the flavor of rooibos but the natural flavors of the rooibos work well with the citrus flavors in this blend.

(Steepster ate my reply, so I hope this is not a repeat!) I noticed that as well! The rooibos leaves did seem abnormally small. I found myself resorting to a coffee filter in addition to my French press, which usually does it’s job well.
