teaqueen drank Honeybush by Rooibos Rocks

681 tasting notes

This was some AMAZING tea. I didn’t even know that honeybush could taste this good… My prior experience with it has been meh at best. This smelled heavenly, was packed full of flavor, and lifted my spirits tremendously. It’s like rooibos, but naturally honey flavored and a bit smoother. Sweet without being sugary or cloying, and really delicious. I’m usually on the fence about red tea in general, but this one is definitely a keeper.

Flavors: Honey, Sweet

Preparation

Boiling 8 min or more

Bio

Hello! 28, female, American. A total hopeless bookworm— I have a Bachelor’s and a Master’s in English. I also love dogs, all things that are colored purple, and sarcasm. I work in the Information Technology field at present.

I’m not a swapper, but I hope we can still be friends :)

Favorite tea types: Black, pu’erh, oolong, kombucha, genmaicha, matcha, rooibos, honeybush (recent change of heart there), and floral greens.

Favorite flavor notes: Roasted, fermented, earthy, floral, nutty, bread-y, umami; dessert-inspired flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and maple.

I’m very picky about chai and spice/ spicy blends as well as fruit-flavored teas; they really need to be done right, IMHO. I’m iffy about mate, as well as herbal teas, although there are a few tisanes that I enjoy (roasted dandelion root, chamomile).

Flat-out dislike: White tea, most unflavored green teas, hibiscus in high quantities, plain peppermint.

90-100: Perfection and heaven and magic, all in one cup.

70-89: Good.

50-69: Meh.
