drank Safari by Teanzo 1856
4843 tasting notes

The tea from Day 3 of the Teanzo Advent Calendar. The rooibos leaves seem to be very finely chopped – even smaller than “usual” and some of the tiny leaf particles slipped through my basket infuser of my Kati Tumbler which has a very fine mesh so if you typically use an infuser basket, I’d recommend swapping that out for the T-Sac type of DIY tea bags that Teanzo includes with this calendar to keep any rooibos leaves from straying.

This is a tasty rooibos blend. The sweet notes of the rooibos as well as the nutty flavors marry nicely with the citrus notes. It’s not overly flavored and usually I do like a strong flavoring in my rooibos blends because I’m not crazy about the flavor of rooibos but the natural flavors of the rooibos work well with the citrus flavors in this blend.

(Steepster ate my reply, so I hope this is not a repeat!) I noticed that as well! The rooibos leaves did seem abnormally small. I found myself resorting to a coffee filter in addition to my French press, which usually does it’s job well.

I am obsessed with tea!

I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:

I no longer write for the SororiTea Sisters but I am still the admin for the blog.

The reason I’m no longer writing for SororiTea Sisters is because I am now the Mad Tea Artist for 52Teas:

I’ll still be posting occasional reviews on teas here on Steepster, mostly backlogged reviews because I’m way behind on getting reviews posted. That’s why I’m keeping two accounts active at the current time – so that I can get those backlogged reviews posted.

My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as “flavored” teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.

I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination, which is why I was very excited to be the Mad Tea Artist of 52Teas!
