This smells very syrupy. The more I smell it, the less it smells like maple and the more it smells like table syrup trying to be maple. I love maple syrup but turn my nose up at table syrup, so I’m not super impressed here. This needs sweetener or it just tastes like an odd woodsey rooibos. Once sweetened, the syrup takes on a fuller flavor that masks some of the rooibos if I don’t take too many sips in a row. Adding cream kills the flavor a bit. This is an okay cup, but it is a little boring and leaves my mouth dry.
