Rooibos Sweet Heart

I don’t normally like Rooibos but I like this one. Usually when I get a flavored Rooibos, I can only taste the Rooibos. With this tea I definitely taste some sweetness and a hint of almond. The Rooibos flavor is not overpowering. I am not sure if I brewed it strong enough. I used 1.5 heaping tsp for about 10 oz and steeped for about 5 min. The water wasn’t quite boiling since I just got hot water from the Keurig which is about 190 F.

I am trying to learn to like Rooibos since it offers a great caffeine-free tea option.

I love these little candy hearts! I had actually tried a Rooibos Candy Hearts blend from another tea manufacturer in the past, and it wasn’t particularly interesting. This one has a very pleasant sweet and almondy taste to it. I’m drinking my first cup of it plain, although I’m thinking of trying it with either a tiny drop of honey or almond milk soon. It’s helping me get over my post-dinner ‘I need a dessert now!’ frenzy. Nice, sweet (but mildly sweet) evening tea.
