I received two samples of this tea at Teaopia’s recent holiday preview event. I’m not a big rooibos fan in the first place, so my rating is a bit biased in that sense. I was hoping for more fruitiness that might disguise the rooibos, but the rooibos still comes through loud and clear. This tea is pretty to look at, but the flavours just don’t work for me.
I’ve been in love with tea since I discovered the awesomeness of loose-leaf tea about four years ago.
In general, I prefer black, green, oolong, and matcha teas. I’m not a big fan of flavoured teas, but every so often I come across one I like. I also like peppermint, but that’s about it for tisanes.
I recently tried matcha for the first time, and it’s seriously growing on me.
My favourite tea accessory is my chasen holder, hence my profile pic, and my favourite teaware is the shudei kyusu I got from Den’s Tea for 99 cents. I use it both for cooling water and steeping tea. Probably the best 99 cents I’ve spent. :)
