Apricot Kernel

First of all, I want to say that I absolutely LOVE Sanctuary T. Every single time I’ve ordered from them, they’ve managed to make me feel very special. When I ordered this tea of the week a couple of weeks ago, I just ordered the “sample” size, but, they upgraded me to a tin! And their tins are absolutely lovely! If you look closely, it has a very beautiful etched design. Uniquely theirs. I love it.

And I love this tisane!

It is really beautifully flavored – the apricot flavor is intense, and the almond flavor is very subtle but the sweetness of the almond really accents the apricot very nicely. Really delicious!

Another tea from LiberTEAs! Thanks Girl!

I LOVE apricots! Ever since I was a toddler! I actually bought some dried apricots today at the herb store! Nom Nom. I think almonds go well with Rooibos! So we already have 2 PLUSes here!

This smells incredible…both of apricot and almonds! When I saw that there were HUGE WHOLE Almonds I was VERY impressed!

This infuses a little darker than most Rooibos(es)…I’m excited about that as well!

There is a hint of floral aroma coming thru too! VERY interesting!

This is REALLY good! Just when I think I can taste more almond than apricot – I then taste more apricot than almond. They seem to flip-flop as I continue to sip! How FUN!!!

Juicy. Sweet. Slightly floral. LOVELY group of flavors! Yes…this exceeds my expectations! YUM!

I think I am starting to like rooibos, I can’t believe I am saying this. I must have always been have bad blends or something but recently I have found some treasures and this is one of those treasures. I am so glad that I decided to give rooibos another try. It is creamy nutty, sweet and juicy, and just plain well rounded.

I really want to give this an awesome review…but I really don’t want you to go and buy up the stock of this until payday and I can get a tin (I only bought a teaser).

It’s amazingly good. Apricot is the perfect fruit to pair with rooibos. It enhances the rooibos and tones down the woody flavor. The almond is also amazing in this, making it sweeter and baked-goods tasting. This could easily become a regular nightly pot for me.
