116 Tasting Notes
This is an interesting and fun tea. It reminds me of Marukawa grape gum from when I was a kid. It has a mellow grape taste that stays on your tongue for a while~ although I would not drink this all the time, it is a nice tea once in a while.
Preparation
Received a sample from the Lupicia newsletter~
It has a nice aroma before and after steeping. It reminds me of freshly picked strawberries at a fruit stand on a nice, sunny day.
A nice tea – the strawberry flavor is just about right; you can still taste the black tea in the background while the strawberries are present throughout.
I think this might go well with milk and sugar. In the hot summer months, it might be perfect straight and chilled (need to try this in a few months)
Preparation
This is my favorite tea so I gave it a 100~ haven’t had a better tea so far.
It has a smooth, and slightly creamy flavor. The Orange and Vanilla blend well to make a refreshing tea without the caffeine. This is the tea that got me interested in Rooibos as a caffeine free alternative to Black Tea.
Preparation
Ronnefeldt Cream orange has become my favorite too, I was able to get some in the US via Gastronautgroup.com you can order individual boxes.
Yes, fortunately, they have an outlet in the US now. I am still using the case of Tea Caddy and boxes of Leafcup I bought overseas. It’ll be much easier to order from the US website from now on =)
Thank you Lasher and Mr. Tea for the review and referral link. Note that our Cream Orange Rooibos is also available without having to purchase an entire case at our consumer/private client website www.ronnefeldtteausa.com. Hope this helps you affordably try more of our teas. Have a great day and remember, we are always at your service.
I’ve only had a few different rooibos teas and I’ve liked them all until this one. This actually reminds me of Asian barley/corn tea~ it might be the chestnut that I find overpowering that is reminding me of the sweet, raw corn taste. The tea is much finer than tea leaves so I used a third of what I normally scoop~ steeped at 195F @ 4minutes (Rating: 35)
Update: Okay, so I tried different steeping times and amount of tea; I did 1/6 of what normally scoop for tea, 195F @ 2 minutes and it came out a lot milder than before. I’m going to change my rating to 45~
Preparation
Smooth and Creamy~ I really enjoyed this tea. I usually drink about 4-6 mugs of tea a day. I don’t know why but this particular tea stains my teeth very easily.
I’ve since switched to some other brands (Ronnefeldt, Lupicia) without any stains while still enjoying the 4-6 mugs a day.
Taste wise, I’d rate this as 9/10 but I’m going to drop a point b/c of the stains. I had to get my teeth cleaned 3 times in six months.
