Oops! Where have YOU been hiding?

I just came across this one totally unopened! Eeeeek!

MUST TRY NOW!

This smells like a combo of spices, sweet-wood, and cologne when dry (prior to infusing)

Post infusing it smells like a sweet-smoky type wood with earthy herbs and spices.

I must make special note of this taste/flavor here! It’s unique!

This has to be the most brothy rooibos blend I have tried. Yes! It’s actually brothy! I don’t think I have even tried a Rooibos – as of yet – with this texture/taste! I really like this characteristic. The Honeybush/Rooibos combo is pretty splendid. The spices are nicely combined. The real kicker – for me – is the addition of the lemongrass. I thought that was going to throw me off but you know what? I really like that dash of lemongrass in there!

This is a pretty special Tisane! And nice Chai flavors! Yeah…this is something else! That’s for sure! And I mean that in a very good way!

Additional notes: This tea is flat out OLD. But it is still scrumptious. A no-caffeine chai is certainly one of my cupboard essentials. Not only is Steenberg’s still around (didn’t think they would be after all these years) but their prices are VERY good.

Nevermind— they very distinctly say they do not deliver outside the European Union… well, have at it then.. those from the EU.

Sipdown! This is actually much better than I thought based on the first cup—the spices must have settled to the bottom of my sample, because it was straight rooibos with a tiny pinch of cinnamon. After making a pot I can safely say this is a well-balanced chai with plenty of ginger and an afterbite of cinnamon/pepper/clove. It’s not outrageously spicy, and the rooibos mellows it out further to make it really easy to drink. I’d probably get it again!

I drank this last night – I love having a caffeine free chai option. I am drinking this in the summer, but it is a winter staple. This version is really good – I like it best with a bit of sweetened almond milk for a desserty treat.
