drank Creamsicle Rooibos by TeaLula
73 tasting notes

I first purchased this late last summer, and it was delicious iced – it tasted just like the orange creamsicles that I loved when I was a child. As I was rooting through my tea stash this evening, looking for one last tea to brew before bed, I came across this one (which had been stowed away in my warm weather iced tea section). Even though it’s still basically winter here in Chi, a craving for that creamsicle taste suddenly came over me. I ended up brewing this hot, at double strength, and adding cream and sugar. Oh my, is this good. It tastes like the warm, ooey gooey, comforting version of an orange creamsicle. I’m very happy to discover that this tea is more versatile than I originally thought.

Bio

If you count the bagged stuff, I’ve been a tea drinker for a long time. I first discovered the joys of loose leaf on a trip to London in 2014, and it’s all been downhill from there. I’m still in the phase where I want to try everything, and I’m still developing my tea personality.

Types of tea / tisanes I gravitate toward: black, green oolong, Japanese green, flavored teas (sweet, floral, fruity, minty, complex, you name it), rooibos, roasted mate, and many herbal and fruit combos.

Teas I need to try, try again, or keep trying: white, pu erh, dark oolong, pure Chinese green, mate

I’ll update soon with my rating system!
