Black Currant Cardamom Raw Green Bush Tea from The Republic of Tea
96

This tea smells of sweet ripe currants and spicy cardamom. It tastes green, almost like a lighter green tea, but it is green rooibos. There is light currant flavor and overtones of cardamom that tingle the throat after continuous sips. I really enjoy the lightness to this tea/tisane. I really like how well RoT does green rooibos.

I was going to pick up Chocolate Ginger and the Blood Orange Chocolate red teas but I’ve heard disappointing things about RoT’s chocolate teas, so I passed…even though they are limited additions at World Market….well, the chocolate ginger red tea is, I’m not 100% on the Blood Orange Chocolate tea. World Market has so many amazing foods, treats and housewares I love taking a trip there! I just wish more were open near me, most of them have closed :(

So I guess this one is also worth picking up a tin of, huh? And what is this Blood Orange Chocolate that you speak of? I’ve not seen it yet!

I was wondering about this one… I love the Plantain coconut one!

The blood orange chocolate was in with their setup of comfort and joy. Is it the same as the year of the tiger tea?

Year of the Tiger says it’s “chocolate orange rooibos”. Even if it is the same, that’s rather exciting, since I was afraid that they’d discontinue the YotT. Totally plotting WM adventure now!

Bio

Live in the cornfields of IL, but not too far from the city. Expecting a baby any day now (due Oct 24 2011). Sticking to mainly herbal and low caffeine teas for now. Trying to encourage my husbands tea drinking, but he adds so much sweetner he may as well just drink diet pop. I love trying new teas, and will try any tea once.
