Received two tea bags from postcrossing week ago. It should be rooibos with plum flavour.
Honestly, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I do like plums, they are somewhere between sweet and savoury and I rather tend to enjoy savoury ones.
It should be brewed for 5 minutes as I found out while looking for this tea. I did bit longer, I guess it was around 8; but I don’t really think it will change the flavour profile too much, because…
well, it wasn’t much flavourful. Yes, rooibos was there. But not anyhow woody as expected, it was just plain base without anything. It was just plain. And the flavour? Well, it was bit of sweet side, but I would not recognize it is plum if you asked me without my knowledge.

Sometimes it feels as if you need to take a a leap of faith as well as engage your imagination very heavily with these ‘flavored’ brews. But you tried! : )
