I received a couple samples of this tea at Teopia’s recent holiday preview event. I’m not a huge fan of rooibos teas, but this one wasn’t bad. The spices hid the rooibos flavour for the most part. It wasn’t as chocolately as I’d hoped, though, and the anise flavour was a bit too strong. I wouldn’t buy it for myself, but I wouldn’t mind drinking it again if it was offered to me.
I’ve been in love with tea since I discovered the awesomeness of loose-leaf tea about four years ago.
In general, I prefer black, green, oolong, and matcha teas. I’m not a big fan of flavoured teas, but every so often I come across one I like. I also like peppermint, but that’s about it for tisanes.
I recently tried matcha for the first time, and it’s seriously growing on me.
My favourite tea accessory is my chasen holder, hence my profile pic, and my favourite teaware is the shudei kyusu I got from Den’s Tea for 99 cents. I use it both for cooling water and steeping tea. Probably the best 99 cents I’ve spent. :)
