Had a cup of it this afternoon. I enjoy this as an alternative to a Rooibos Chai, good with soymilk but not for the spice adverse (see previous notes). I already have a back-up tin so I must like this. :D

Meh. I really wanted this to taste like the Thai tea I got from Atticus Tea in Park City, but it does not. It is one dimensional and all I can taste is watery cinnamon. Don’t like this one.

“Atticus Tea”! I love the name of that tea shop. It’s like an homage to the main character in the series I’m reading—a 2100 year old druid named Atticus O’Sullivan (from “the Iron Druid Chronicles”). He brews potent herbal teas in his bookshop/apothecary.

I think they named it for Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird. Sadly, because the shop is on Main St in Park City, their tea is priced about double what it should be. Rent is high there. Alas, I might wind up shelling out some cashola when I am up there next week to get the Thai Tea that I wanted.

I bought this because I fell in love with the Bangkok Green Tea that H&S has and I’ve been looking for a good rooibos. Unfortunately it doesn’t quite live up to my expectations. When I first opened the tin I was immediately blasted by the scent of cinnamon. I like cinnamon but I know that it can quickly overtake anything else it is paired with. That is more or less the case with this. I can taste the red rooibos, cinnamon, a decent kick of the ginger but barely even a hint of the coconut. The cinnamon definitely takes the show in this one and I tried adding some peppermint to help cool down the cinnamon, and it did help a little. As much as I want to love this I do not think I will be buying more when I run out, there are better flavored rooibos out there.

This is a nice tea to drink in the evening after dinner. It’s got a lot of flavor, and is a little sweet and tangy without the full-bodied taste bud (and caffeine) assault of black teas.
