When I saw this pop up on DavidsTea’s website, I knew that I had to buy some! I love eggnog and I love rooibos blends. Eggnog isn’t something I feel good about drinking once I’ve finished a glass, but it is a seasonal treat that I do like to have each year.
This tea smelled very much like eggnog right out of the bag. I was pleased to see all of the little white chocolate chips, too! Once water has been added, this tea smells much more like nutmeg and rooibos. It’s a little concerning for me as I’m not a big fan of eggnog with nutmeg or nutmeg in general. Sipping… well, this is a bit disappointing. It’s seems like this is very watery despite how much of the blend I actually added. It’s mostly a watery and sweet rooibos with a bit of nutmeg on top. I wish I could get more of that creamy, rich eggnog flavor, but this tea just doesn’t have it.
Next time I make a cup, I think I might add more leaf and add a few more minutes onto the steep time. I haven’t given up on this blend yet!
