Princess Tea Party

Another blend from Rachel, by Rachel! Thank you so much for sending me so many great teas to try!

So…I was never a girly-girl growing up. I didn’t have tea parties, or play with dolls, or want to wear dresses. I pretty much just wanted to read books and dig for dinosaurs (and, yes, I did have an excavation going on at the playground across from my house…complete with markers to section off the different digs). Yes, I was a geek, and still am.

So the name of this ever so slightly grates on me, and reminds me of forced play dates with other girls my age who wanted me to wear pink and walk around in their mother’s heels for fun.

But the taste is really good, all strawberry and vanilla. The rooibos isn’t woodsy at all, which is really nice. I can definitely see serving this up to my pseudo-niece at her next “Fancy Nancy” party. But for now, I’ll just enjoy it whilst watching a show about the Mayan 2012 prophecies. Nagana had princesses, right?

Another Rachel Blend! YAY!

It’s the Rooibos of the Day, folks!!!

Fruity and Rooibos nose. Rooibos and Strawberry to taste….but also Pear!? Interesting lil diddy.

Pretty good HOT and I’m sure it would be even better ICED. I’ll have to put that to the test soon!

Thank you to Rachel for sending me a bit of this to try!

This is yummy. Fruity and not overwhelmingly “rooibos-ish.” It has a lovely strawberry and cream flavor to it. It would be PERFECT for a little girls (Princess) tea party!

Thank you Rachel for sending this tea my way. I have recently discovered I love roobios and I have really been on the look out for a line up of night time teas. Tonight I decided to try this one and was not disappointed.
I believe that this tea smelled delicious (there was a skunk somewhere outside smelling everything up so I was having a hard time getting a good whiff of the tea). And it tastes like strawberries, vanilla and roobios in that order. It is quite lovely! I might consider ordering some of this when I am not overflowing with teas.

Dry: rooibos + fruit mix. Smells fruity!

The making: used my ceramic teapot. I love that I can share tea!

Steeped: The aroma – smells like juice! Tastes fairy tart and sweet. I let it sit until it was cool and I actually enjoyed it even more. I saved a little bit to cold brew for tomorrow or later today. I can’t wait to try it.
