97 Per Cent Citrus Ginger Bush from The Republic of Tea

Serenity drank 97 Per Cent Citrus Ginger Bush by The Republic of Tea

Inspired by Grace Makutsi, from Alexander McCall Smith’s No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series, this is a, as the name suggests, a citrusy and gingery, rooibos blend. Rooibos and Red Bush: same thing, a shrub in South Africa, the needles of which make this tasty tisane. This has green rooibos, and it is delicious. The citrus and ginger blended with the green rooibos creates a special kind of lemony ginger flavor.

I started smiling the minute I read “97 Per Cent” and thinking about Grace’s new shoes that talk to her. (I think I’m 3 books behind and I miss the series! Some catching up to do.)

Oh yes, I love Grace’s special connection with shoes! Such a wonderful series.

Bio

Although I can be heard to mutter “Dust! Fannings and dust!” when drinking a poor cup of tea, I really don’t think I’m a tea snob. Want to talk about your favorite tisane with jelly beans in it? I’m there. Want to talk about gyokuro and assam? Done. I welcome the chance to discuss all things tea and tea related because I’m that kind of nerd: a tea nerd. Other things I’m passionate about: my family: my husband and daughter and our Chihuahua and new cat; literature, and social justice. I have poor eyesight, a good temperament, an odd sense of humor and a lot of curiosity.
