This was a pretty interesting genmaicha, and not at all what I expected. It had a similar sweetness to agave nectar or melted sugar. I wouldn’t call it honey, but there was definite (subtle) sweetness there. The popcorn and toasted rice make for a warm, toasty cup of tea.

This is an ok rooibos, sort of like a plainer version of Jeoffery’s African Celebration. There are definitely undertones of marzipan and vanilla, but not strong clean vanilla like vanilla extract. There is a kind of silty metal/mineral flavour? It is fairly common in rooibos and isn’t bad at all. The rooibos base is mediocre.

Flavors: Almond, Marzipan, Mineral, Nuts, Rooibos, Vanilla

Preparation
Boiling 8 min or more 14 OZ / 400 ML

I used to love this one before I really got into tea and realized how much more was out there beyond your usual grocery store suspects : D

Profile

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
