Backlog from earlier this week. What a busy one!
I don’t know why I had been putting off trying this one. I’m think maybe I was hoping it would compare to Fauchon’s L’Automne, of which I’m hoarding 2 cups worth, so I wouldn’t have to want for something that is so hard to get in the states, and who knows at what cost if I could find it? I knew this one didn’t have chocolate, but is an orange tea w/o the caffeine .. say evening tea. I used to think I wouldn’t ever gravitate to citrus and tea, but a couple of you fellow Steepsterites have proved me wrong .. Thanks!
Dry leaf smells promising of sweet orange. Steeped I get the typical nice rooibos color cup with a bit of orange and cream. I unfortunately found a bit too much woodsy rooibos for me .. Bummer. It is a drinkable blend but I think I prefer some of the black base orange tea blends to the woodsyness of this. Early on rooibos didn’t bother me, but the more I drink, the more I sometimes find I taste the woodsy notes… That said, there are some awesome ones out there that either work well with that flavor, or hide it completely…as I was so wishing this would. That said, this is good enough to finish the sample, Thanks EvaGrimm for sharing, but I’m not sure I’ll be buying more of this one.
Flavors: Cream, Orange Zest
