drank Rooibos Chai by Aspretto
7 tasting notes

I brewed this tea bag using the filtered water from my Keurig, so the temperature might be slightly lower than the ideal brewing temp for Rooibos, but still close enough for me (and it’s a tea bag, not amazing loose leaves where I would take time to boil the water). I was able to grab a few of these from my university before I left for a semester, and boy is it amazing to have on these chilly Autumn days! It’s very aromatic with the cloves and cinnamon, then when it cools ever so slightly (still a bit too hot to drink) it takes a little like a hot cider (perhaps apple cider or wassle – which is odd since there isn’t any fruit in it). As it sat on my desk this evening, forgetting momentarily, it cooled a bit and became a little more mellow followed by a spicy kick as a finisher f or each sip. It’s wonderful for chilly days and nights as it fills you with warm fuzzes throughout your body.

Bio

I’m a long-time college student with only one class left!! I recently left my college home of Corpus Christi and went to Austin, TX to marry my best friend and boyfriend of 9 1/2 years. So now I’m on a new “Tea Time Tuesday” Adventure to find great local tea shops/houses/lounges, if it has great tea I’m searching for it! I’ve only really fallen in love of loose leaf teas within the past year or so, and my actual “Tea Time Tuesday” started with a friend of mine when we ran into each other at the same campus on Tuesdays for lunch…so “Tea Time Tuesday” was born, mostly starting with each of bringing various tea bags in our lunches for us to try, then slowly after the semester ended, finding local places to attend, thus branching me out into loose leaf tea!!

So that’s me in a very tiny nutshell, if you’d like to help me out on my adventure please feel free to give any advice you have! I’m always open to suggestions, and that’s why I joined Steepster!!
Thanks in advance!
