Disclaimer: Rooibos isn’t my favorite, but I don’t dislike it.
UPDATE: Not sure what happened but I now enjoy this tea immensely! I may have strayed away from Lupicia’s steeping instructions, but this time I followed it, steeping the bag in 150ml of boiling water for 5 minutes. The tea was smooth and velvety, sweet but not overly so. Raising my score from 61 to 80!
ORIGINAL: Piccolo is one of my remaining samples from the Book of Tea set from Lupicia. The smell of the dry leaves is very pretty with a strong scent of apricot, honey and berry. The brew had a full velvety mouth feel and the flavors masked the medicinal qualities of the rooibos enough for me to enjoy it. The instructions indicate that milk can be added, but I didn’t feel the need to add.
