Tea of the evening here…
It’s difficult to believe there was a time I didn’t care for rooibos, because now I really like it!
This is a somewhat neglected blend in my stash, I drank the Coco Chai Rooibos down before I made a dent in this packet. I like it though, it’s a bit chai like and a bit fruity, especially with some nice apple notes. Not my favorite but still quite drinkable. Might need to try this iced someday, I bet it would be tasty. ;)

Rooibos used to be a favorite of mine until I discovered loose teas and realized how diverse camellia leaf flavors can be. I need to revisit my rooibos roots. It’s some of the first stuff I came to really regularly love and enjoy as a tea drinker. I lived half a year in South Africa and that is the tea they will drink regularly there. It was really nice seeing it served as a refreshment at most events and gatherings. I was always apt to get a cup. I tried it straight and with a handful of other types of flavor. I think I’ll find some more rooibos soon. I’ve never even tried it loose.
I used to love this, but the last batch I got was really cardamom heavy and it makes my throat prickle. I thought it was the rooibos, but it’s the cardamom.

Lion – I drink rooibos mostly at night when I don’t want the caffeine from regular tea. I think I’ve ONLY had it in loose leaf form, lol. It’s cool that you were able to see how people drank it in South Africa. :)
Amariel – I like cardamom so that wouldn’t bother me!
