I received this from Carol Who in the Christmas Card swap. Thank you!
This is a different rooibos blend. There is a sweet fruity note followed by a good amount of cinnamon and then a tartness that makes my jaw tingle. It’s not bad, but it’s not my favorite either.
Tea obsessed since 2010.
My Rating System:
100-95 = Teas I actively seek out and keep in my pantry. If you are a guest in my home chances are I will offer you one or all of these teas. Also, if/when these teas are discontinued I openly mourn their loss.
94-85 = Teas I truly like, often have in my pantry, and sometimes restock. These are my variety-is-the-spice-of-life teas.
84-75 = They’re good teas and I enjoy drinking them on occasion.
74-65 = These teas are ok, but not really my thing.
64-55 = meh.
54-45 = I will if I have no other option.
44 and below = Coffee, please.

I felt the same way :( It is upsetting when you go to a very well regarded tea shop and end up with a few teas that just don’t live up to my expectation. Luckily I didn’t buy a lot and I did get my favorite Earl Grey #69 (lots of it).
