Missy drank Mandela Masala by SerendipiTea

Score! This is the rooibos chai I’ve been looking for. It has the perfect blend of spices. It’s especially awesome that the rooibos doesn’t fade away with all these spices. Clove and cinnamon are the most dominant flavors. Rooibos makes an appearance now with ginger as a partner. Last but not least, is pepper. A wonderful tea I’ll need to keep in the cupboard.

How serendipitous that you and Dylan drank and reviewd this tea so closely in time. :))

Hehe, yeah he was ready for bed, and I was trying to get it typed out before I had to use my nook for steepster. :)

Do you like your Nook? I’ll buy the nook before the Kindle.

I love it! I have the nook color that dylan modified so it works like an andriod. If I remember right it’s easier on the wallet than the kindle. I would recommend it if that’s a concern.

I just was drawn to it….plus, I was looking for another option besides Kindle.

Yeah, there is some required geeky-ness to getting the Nook Color to work like I have Missy’s working. If you’re looking for something that’s a little simple, I’d go for the Kindle Fire. It also runs circles around the hacked NC, as far as navigation and such. But you can get some of the refurbished NCs for dirt cheap lately, like $100-125 at times. Heck, a new NC is only $150 until Mother’s day… not too shabby.

Bio

I’ve discovered I really like the spicy, nutty teas. Some fruity teas are pretty good but they are hit and miss for me. Flower teas really aren’t my thing right now. Seems like my preferences are changing so this may be different in the future.

Tea Rating system:

90 – 100: This is a tea I will always have on hand at work, and at home. I will leave it on altars as offerings of perfection.

80 – 89: This, or one of it’s close cousins, will likely be in my cabinet at home. When this tea runs out, I will buy more. I’ll always wonder if there is something better, but be too afraid to look to stray from home to find it.

70 – 79: Definitely good, but not a clear winner. I enjoy it, I’ll finish it, but I probably won’t buy it again until I’ve exhausted all other versions of this product from any reputable retailer. Though, it may enjoy a resurrection for custom blending.

60 – 69: This tea is okay, but definitely not something I’m going to brew again. I’m going to give what I have left away.

30 – 59: I didn’t finish drinking this tea. I actually poured it out, and went for something else. I’ll still give this tea away, but I’ll do it with a warning and a plead for forgiveness.

0 – 29: This tea is riding securely towards an iceberg at the helm of the failboat. I’ve taken this out of my tea tin, and laid it on a napkin as potpurri. I do not consider it fit for human consumption.

Yes, I did copy this from Dylan. It’s okay we share every thing any ways.
