This is quite nice. I love the neat little tea sachets this comes in. And I mean neat, as in not messy. When I sniff the sachet I can actually smell something that resembles alcohol. The vanilla is very faint. It brews up very dark reddish-brown in my cup, and the scent remains sweet and rich. (boy, I just love being able to say I can smell this. My sense of smell is still very weak, but I do get hints and I LOVE it) Anyway, I wasn’t sure if I would really enjoy this, since rooibos is hit and miss for me, but this one is a hit. It doesn’t seem as “sawdusty” as some I’ve had and I like the hint of vanilla. I won’t go buy an entire tin of this, but I’ll enjoy the sample beelicious sent me.

I love cats. I love alone time. I love sitting indoors on a cold winter night with a book or my knitting while drinking tea. I don’t have a sense of smell, so many of the more subtle flavors of tea escape me. Two of the things I CAN taste are bitter and sour, so any tea that has even a slightly bitter taste is nasty for me. And what others might perceive as pleasant tartness may be horribly sour for me.

I’m also a writer. I love writing, and a mug of hot tea helps me get through the hours sitting in front of the computer. Although I’m a comparatively new tea drinker, I’m jumping in feet first. Feel free to recommend any teas you think I might enjoy.

100-91 – Wowza! I want to keep this tea in the cupboard all the time.
75-90 – Very nice. It would be good to have this tea on hand from time to time.
60-74 – OK. Wouldn’t keep it in the cupboard, but I would drink it again.
45-59 – If a friend served this I would drink it to be polite, but it’s not really my cuppa.
Lower than 45 – Blech. It was too sour or bitter for my taste. Would not drink it again.
