Thank you Laurent for this free sample with my last order.
The dry tea smells like rooibos, a bit nutty.
The tea while brewing, smells very creamy, nutty – almost like hazlenut, hints of vanilla.
The hot tea tastes like sweet, nutty, creamy rooibos. As it starts to cool, I get the taste similar to Sakura Japanese cherry blossom tea. I do not get any sour cherry taste until the aftertaste. The aftertaste is very much like the pucker you get after eating a sour cherry. As it cools to a luke-warm temperature, it retains the sweet cherry blossom taste but looses the sour cherry aftertaste. It stays creamy-tasting. I do not get any metallic taste often associated with rooibos.
I was pleasantly surprised by this rooibos blend.
