Bluebird delivers another hit!
I was simultaneously excited and nervous about this one because a) I looooooooove anything to do with rhubarb; and b) I’m not a huge fan of rooibos-heavy teas. But this one strikes the balance perfectly. The aroma straight out of the bag is pure, gorgeous rhubarb, the rooibos coming out to play a little as it brews. There’s a lovely rhubarb tartness in the cup, and the creamy custard element is brought forward with a little milk and sugar. The flavour starts with sweet rhubarb, surrounded by just enough of the rooibos shining through, and a mildly tart finish. Maybe I’m just having a lot of emotions because Gentleman is on an aeroplane to Australia as we speak, but this tea is so beautiful that I could weep.

Ah I hate it when they leave like that! will he be back soon?
Three weeks. Can’t really begrudge him since he’s going to be visiting his sister in Japan most of the time he’s gone, and booked the holiday months ago, which was before we started seeing each other. But still.
(I hope he brings back a tea)
