It feels like I’ll never get through my stash of this! I’ve had it for years and go through periods of ignoring and rediscovering. The flavors seem a little lighter at this point, not quite as rich as I recall even tho I over leafed in an effort to work through the tin. I’m under the impression that it is light on caffeine as well, which is why I sometimes ignore it. It looks like it is a mix of black tea, mate and rooibos, but the rooibos doesn’t overpower.
Someone pointed out to me that the flavors were similar to Tevana’s Tiramisu Treviso, a rooibos blend that I loved, which is likely why I have kept it around for so long. It still has a deep feel of chocolate with a touch of coffee in it, a nuttiness too. It’s very nice with a bit of cream. It was never one of my top favorites from Tevana, but it has been consistently good with flavors that don’t seem like an over the top cluster like many of their other blends. I’ve enjoyed it a lot over the years, but am ready to move past it.
