contrary to a lot of the other reviewers, I really liked this tea and didn’t find the taste to be too medicinal or sweet — it definitely smells very strong, but once steeped the flavor is a good balance between the mellow woodiness or rooibos and the fruity flavors.
half-taiwanese half-korean american homosexual transgender theory-oriented undergraduate student studying japanese language and literature.
particular to japanese green teas and red rooibos, wants to explore oolongs, white teas, and chai further.
joined this site to gain better understanding of taste and how to navigate taste through language. generally interested in east-west interactions, culture, history, colonization through the lens of tea.
currently trying to find an affordable rooibos chai blend that can match up to samovar’s ‘ocean of wisdom.’ looking to buy a gaiwan to begin chinese tea exploration.
