Green Rooibos Poire Creme (BA04) from Upton Tea Imports
92

Yummmmmm now this is one that needs to be purchased in a larger amount! I only got a sample but a nice healthy sample it is! We will see if I crave it once it is gone.
Actually tastes like pear!
No sugar need be added although if you want more of a dessert tea you could add a little. Would be excellent with some milk or cream added but already has a lovely creamy flavor!
I really do like Upton’s cream flavors – I think I read some where others do not? I enjoy them very much thus far between this tea and a strawberry cream tea I had last night.
Did I log that? I don’t know but anyway back to this tea …
I do believe I enjoy the green rooibos more than red. Honestly, I didn’t realize until recently there was a green rooibos so now I am not sure if I have had green before or not. Need to check that out but I do really like this rooibos a lot – its earthy as I think Dylan or Missy had stated.
I could see this tea being simply excellent iced!
For sure staying in my shopping list for now!
Going to cold brew some, enjoy a couple more hot cups and see how it resteeps if at all.
:) Nice cup!

More about the wonders of green rooibos. If you all keep this up, I’ll be running to the store (or guiding my hand to the appropriate website) to buy some green rooibos.

I do enjoy green rooibos too! Red rooibos makes me very hesitant when it is added to a tea I am considering. But green… now I can drink green any day.

Yeah I am curious to try more green rooibos or at least figure out which of the ones I have are green but I don’t think I have any other greens.

I have been getting to know green rooibos through the DT’s Super Chocolate. I really enjoy it as it doesn’t taste like rooibos at all, even though that is the first ingredient (followed by green tea.. which it is labeled as a green tea.. this always confuses/annoys me. If the main base is not green tea – do not list it as such and charge green tea prices for it. Bogus.)

Red rooibos and green rooibos are two different animals. I much prefer the latter.

Bio

Most of my reviews will be “snippits” of full reviews that can be found at http://sororiteasisters.com/
Posted every evening at 6 EST.
I usually try to post the exact date that the full reviews will post however sometimes post dates need changed so it may not always be correct. Generally the dates are correct however.

About Me:

Most of my reviews, although not all, will be quite favorable of the tea. This is not because all tea is excellent, but more so because I generally will not waste my time on an inferior tea. If I do not care for a tea I won’t continue to drink it let alone spend time reviewing it. If you see a review by me you basically know it is a quality tea. Granted it may not suit your specific taste buds, we all like different things, but as for a tea on the whole it is a good one, from a good company.

I am a spiritual advisor by profession.
I have two “young adult” children.
Four cats and three dogs.

Some of my hobbies include gardening, essential oil therapy, natural perfumery with essential oils, and cooking.

I look for complexity overall in any tea, dimensions to the flavors.

I believe tea should evoke a feeling, thought, emotion, or attitude.

I enjoy most all oolongs, blacks, whites, and greens.

I always love to try a good yellow tea.

I favor unadulterated teas but I do have my longings for a good flavored tea now and then so I don’t rule them out by any means!

I enjoy green rooibos don not like red rooibos.
