Another remnant! I honestly don’t know where this one came from. I finished the caddy, but this portion was in a little envelope all on its own. Obviously I’d intended it for something!
Anyway, I still like how clearly the orange comes across in this blend. The rooibos is very mild — it’s there as a woodiness in the background, but that’s all. Orange is the main player here, along with a dusting of cinnamon that comes out mostly in the aftertaste. When I first added this to my stash, I thought it was an odd choice for a Christmas tea. It does make me feel Christmassy, though, so there you go. Possibly it’s the orange, although I have limited Christmas memories involving orange, so I really don’t know.I’m gabbling now.
This is a pleasant tea to drink, although I think I need some caffeine to see me through the afternoon. A nice surprise from the depths of my stash!
I don’t know why, but the taste of cinnamon always seems Xmasy to me.
