I put a bag of this and a bag of Vanilla Rooibos together for this evening’s tea. I love the way the vanilla rooibos tempers the super tartness of Passion and makes for such an enjoyable, fruity (somehow citrusy!) cup.

What an interesting combo! I may have to try that at some point. :)

I read about it in someone’s tasting note! I couldn’t believe how much I wound up liking it – now I never have it by itself but always mix :)

The fruit and vanilla thing reminds me of traditional Monk’s Blend.

Bio

I love to cook, bake, read, paint, knit, do needlework, and garden. I need my coffee, but I LOVE my tea. I work at an Art School, and I am currently taking classes in order to become certified to teach.

I enjoy writing tasting notes, but have decided not to numerically rate teas as of 9/14/10. For an explanation, see my looooong tasting note about Mountain Malt from the Simple Leaf.

My favorites:
Chinese black teas
A good “milk and sugar” English style black
Earl Grey (classic, and in all variations!)
Vanilla teas (classic, and in all variations!)
Jasmine, Rose, Violet and other froofy, flowery teas!
An Occasional Oolong
Flavored Rooibos
Herbal Tisanes
