Right after I finished my Ceylon tea, my father (who went retired today!) come and said he wants a coffee. Well, and he don’t want to drink it alone, so I have picked another tea, this time something caffeine-free as that tea was very caffeine strong.
I apparently picked wrong tea. Rooibos was well present, but “madam Grey” flavour — that citrusy aroma and taste was incredlibly strong, reminding me rather dish soap, noticed only lemon notes. It was indeed very strong, making aroma and taste quite unbearable. Well in ingredients is listed: rooibos 90 %, aroma. So 10 % of that tea bag (2 g) is full of aroma/flavours, or I don’t know what?
It was way too strong! That’s what I disliked on this tea.
Flavors: Citrus Zest, Lemon

Congrats to your father! That’s a big step! (:
Indeed, a lifetime of work and now some time to enjoy.
Congrats to your father! I hope he has a wonderfully happy retirement!
I was permanently scarred by a rooibos Earl Grey. I hope your father finds great pleasure in retirement!
Haha, thank you teafriends! He said to me it is so strange to wake up and in mind “I don’t have to do anything, and I will get money.” Haha.
derk: yep, decent rooibos earl grey will be pretty hard to find I guess. This one was just bad. Too citrusy. But rooibos base wasn’t bad!
