For scent…if you were to take your stereotypical Chai smell add a little orange scent and even a little more chocolate – that’s what you will smell with this creation!
After infusion – add a ginger scent and that would be the only different I would say as far as sniff goes.
To this day I think Rooibos has a distinct smell but it it’s clouded here and that’s ok with me. This is a medium brown in color post infusion. The taste is pleasant and sweet but the spices are still there…mostly ginger but the ginger isn’t obnoxious. It’s surprisingly smooth and I can pick up on the chai notes as well as the chocolate and orange. It’s lovely that the other ingredients pulls away from the stereotypical rooibos flavor as well.
Many of you know I am trying to do at least 1 rooibos a day…so…this is my official Rooibos of the day but I wouldn’t be shocked if it isn’t the only one.
I must say this little gem surprised me…the more I drink this the more I like this. This is yummers!
Kinda surprised you don’t do your rooibos in the morning… but then again I’d take any chance I got to have chocolate in any form in the morning:)
Not sure why…but…I always think black or black flavors for morning…just a habit, I guess…
black is my way to start a day too…
