Arby drank Red Velvet Rooibos by A Quarter to Tea

2957 tasting notes

The looseleaf is GORGEOUS to look at. There are tiny marshmellows and all different colours of flower petals! The look alone made me want to make this tea this morning.

This is a lovely blend of rooibos, chocolate chips, tiny marshmallows, and herbs. I find it a bit plain, but I enjoy the floral taste and the hints of creamy cocoa and sweet marshmallow.

I would recommend this blend to anyone who enjoy rooibos and can handle floral flavours. The sweetness is not overpowering, but there are hints of mallow and cocoa. You have to really like rooibos, though,because that is the main flavour present.

Flavors: Chocolate, Cocoa, Cream, Creamy, Floral, Flowers, Herbs, Marshmallow, Milk, Rooibos, Sweet

Preparation

190 °F / 87 °C 5 min, 45 sec 1 tsp 17 OZ / 500 ML

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
