After the lovely Kristal sent me a sample of rooibos last month, I decided I had to get more.
I think perhaps there are people who get rooibos, and people who don’t— like black licorice, coriander and/or cilantro, and Thrills soap-flavoured gum (I happen to like all three, but not at the same time).
I don’t know how to describe what rooibos does to me. It like a sweet intense flavour sensation that starts in the back of my mouth. It tastes kind of like the smell of hot wet cedar or the smell inside a wood sauna.
Tonight, I got home and started making bread for tomorrow’s Christmas social at work. Then I had to sew a ton of Christmas gifts that the children helped make. I’m not sleeping because I’m physically taking my work home with me each night. When I sat down and drank a cup, it’s like I finally got to sit and breathe.
I’m so glad I ordered a bag of this with my last DT order. It may have to become a staple in my house.
Flavors: Earth, Rooibos, Sweet, Wood
Glad to have sparked your interest! :)
For me, I don’t care for rooibos straight. I like it as a base with other flavours. Although, I do admit, I like Honeybush more, which comes from the same family as rooibos.
