I don’t tend to buy rooibos or honeybush teas, but 52teas kindly included this as a sample. Does it make any sense to say that while this tea is not my style, I still think they did a really good job? The dry tea smells divine. It’s like a waft of buttery spice cookies. When I first started sipping this cup, spice cookie was the predominant flavor too, but now that it’s cooling I can really taste the mango and blueberry. Vaguely, this tea reminds me of David’s Coco Chai Rooibos, because they both have a light spice note and a bit of nuttiness to the base, but this one is obviously more fruity. While I personally prefer a black tea base, I can see how something light like honeybush makes sense with delicate fruit flavors like blueberry and mango.
