drank Rooibos Chai by Teavana
172 tasting notes

My Bostonian relatives sent me home with a bit of this to try and I finally got around to it today, I just find it hard to get excited about rooibos blends. Like another reviewer said: “it looks good, smells good, and tastes okay but has no body whatsoever”. That’s the problem with red rooibos in my opinion; it lacks depth and body, it’s completely flat and boring. Green rooibos I enjoy, but the more I try red rooibos blends the more I realize I just don’t like them.

Speaking of Bostonion… note to self: buy a tin of Harney’s Boston Blend.

It is sooooooo good. If I had to whittle my stash down to just ten teas (from 100) this would be a keeper.

Oh, I am referring to Harney’s Boston, by the way! :)

I ♥ NewYorkCiTEA

Oh good! I’m not the only one to have an instant love for that. =)

My name is Kyle. I love good tea, a good book, the great outdoors, and I am passionate about music. I also find enjoyment in writing and mountain biking here in beautiful Central Oregon.

Tea is a hugely misunderstood and under-appreciated gift in the western world, and my hope is to spread the gift of quality tea. It is communion between the passion of man and the raw beauty of nature. It is art, and it is therapy. I hope you enjoy my writings.
