One of my favorite teas. It sort of reminds me of a lemony candy, which is really nice.

So I’m starting to realize I should probably pair down the teas in my cupboard, so this one will be my first victim. Despite the fact that it is easily my favorite. Teaopia is gone so I won’t be able to refill this one. :(

I drove up to DAVIDS Tea today, set on getting myself one of those 24 days of tea sets. Unfortunately they were all sold out. :\ I’m debating doing an online order but I still haven’t figured out how I get stuff from my landlord.

My rooibos alternative to orange pekoe, only more on the orange side. Orange peel and mallow blossom… how can you go wrong with that?
What can I say, I’m in a simple mood today (esp after yesterday’s disaster). No milk here, I want to get all the flavour I can :)
Loving the orange today!!!

ugh I need to buy me some tea tins!!! The thing is, I keep very few teas in large enough quantities to warrant a standard size, and small tins are difficult to find. Does anyone know of a place that sells tins which can hold 25-50g?
This tea, one of my oldest, is losing it’s flavour. I’ve kept it in the paper bag it comes with, for lack of any suitable alternative. Sad, but true. It’s pretty much just a simple rooibos now with some distant orange flavouring… even the swirls of agave I added gave it very little oomph. Oh well, all good things must end eventually! Now on to find a new rooibos to love. I was getting bored with this one anyhow. (It’ not goodbye just yet! I have atleast two more cups worth)

There’s only been a few rooibos teas out there that I’ve really enjoyed. This one isn’t quite one of them. It has a sharp citrusy, herbal, woody smell to it. More citrus in the flavour with pine undertones that you can find in most rooibos, and that itchiness on the back of the throat. The orange peel lingers sweetly and floral notes hit you moments after sipping. The lemongrass is overpowered by the orange peel. Overall it is a nice simple rooibos, but I haven’t been wowed!

7 down – 493 to go!

It would have to be one of my favorite rooibos teas. I love the floral lemony aroma. It definitely has a earthy flavors in it from the red rooibos needles. It is nice to have during the evening, it is also one of those “warm me up teas.”
