Advent Day 1
Dumped this entire packet in my cup before realizing it may have been meant for two cups. Too late now! I’m very appreciative that this is a green rooibos. Way nicer than /red/ rooibos. It smells bubblegum like when dry and very orange when steeped. It also tastes very orange. I know there are a lot of different fruit in it, but they all blend in to support the orange. The rooibos is pretty mellow. It’s a good cup, but not one I’d buy.
Preparation
Comments
I used a 12-ounce mug and used the whole sample, too. The amount is in line with how much leaf I would normally use.
Ya, I tried it in 500ml and surmised I probably would have enjoyed the flavor better if I’d used 350ml (12 oz) instead. That will probably be the plan going forward, but depending on the base (black vs. herbal) I may weigh the leaf before making a judgment call. I do tend to especially like my herbals really leafed.
At least these packets aren’t the same size as the free samples… XD

Okay, so I might be better off using the whole sample. Are you doing this advent too? :D
