Had my last cup of this last night. I’m sad. This is probably my absolute favourite rooibos blend I’ve ever had in my life. Yes, it’s sweet because it has candied fruit AND candy pieces AND sprinkles in it. I’m OK with that. I don’t have it right before bed, and I don’t have it when I first get up in the morning and sweet overload is yucky. But the colour of the tea…I can’t get over the colour. Love it. It really does look like I scooped up a cupful of swamp water and am about to drink it. The first time I steeped it my dad thought there was something wrong with the tea and that I should return it. He just didn’t get that it was SUPPOSED to look greenish-blackish-blue. That’s part of the charm :) Took me almost 4 months to finally get him to try it.
Should there ever be a re-release of this tea, I’ll be buying 1 kg of it so that I never have to go without it ever again. I just hope they have the little cat sprinkles back (the first time had the cat sprinkles as it was a Halloween tea, the second time it was just regular black sprinkles because it was a summer tea). They made me smile.
