Spice with Rooibos

Wow, this stuff is spicy! I love that it’s called “Spice with Rooibos” and not the other way around. I opened this bag and took a sniff. The inside of my nostrils were immediately covered in some burny spicy powder. Never doing that again.

Then I cold brewed this for about 36 hours for maximum flavor extraction! After the first sip, all I could say was, “Wow, this is spicy!” I love a spicy chai! I love cardamom in my chai though and I’m don’t really taste it here. Lots of clove and cinnamon for sure! Licorice even. but no cardamom. :( Anyways, pretty tasty, but not the balance of spices I’m looking for.

thank you, TeaEqualsBliss for sending me some of this! It’s great with a chocolate bar. :D

I’m loving this. It is ultra-spicy! I am even liking the rooibos contribution here. There is a delicious nutty taste and sweetness from the rooibos that is distinctly rooibos … and somehow I’m liking it. It must have something to do with the way those notes play with the strong spices. It’s very nice and warming.

This is VERY spicy! It’s alright! I would certainly drink it again! Maybe with a little less loose leaf amount tho! It’s pretty intense! The plus side for your Rooibos haters…I don’t think it tastes like Rooibos at all because the spice hides it quite a bit!
