Backlog:
This was in my Amoda Tea Box from December. As I mentioned in my full-length review: http://sororiteasisters.com/2014/12/31/celebration-medley-rooibos-blend-from-sloane-tea-company/ the strong apple-y fragrance made me happy. It smelled like apple cider as it steeped.
The apple notes are strong, the cinnamon and clove add warmth, and there’s a little bit of that spicy-hot cinnamon taste that gives it a bit of a ‘red-hot’ taste. Like maybe someone dropped a couple of the little red hot candies into my teacup and let them dissolve. The nutmeg adds a nutty note and the earthy notes of the spices accent the rooibos in a pleasant way.
The rose isn’t particularly strong, but every once in a while, I’ll taste a whisper of rose that’s quite nice.
I enjoyed this.
