A TeaEqualsBliss rooibos! Sadly, it’s a bit too rooibos and tart and not enough berry for me. There is a nice hint of vanilla sweetness at the end but the tart front taste and rooibos-ness just doesn’t do it for me. Rooibos is just a tough one to make me not hate. But I enjoy trying them!

The Final Sipdown: Day 11
Decupboarding Total: 23

Okay, I was afraid to try this but The Final Sipdown made me. It smells horrid – rooibos and tart. Yuck. But compared to the smell, the taste is divine. I let it cool quite a bit (fear, you know) but it worked out well. The rooibos really backs off when it is lukewarm. Then I only have to contend with the tartness which is somewhat phlegm-inducing but otherwise not horrid. Sort of like if they made a red-fruit Theraflu.

Mmm. Theraflu.

This smells like Wine prior to infusing. The coloring of the liquid is certainly a ruby red.
Strawberry-Floral tastes push thru the most. Vanilla-Strawberry aftertaste. Creative and beautiful blend! Lovely. A little tart for my usual-liking but still a good Rooibos!

backlogging…forgot to log from yesterday…it was pretty good, better than I remember it, actually!
