Today, I served this for a birthday afternoon tea-esque (cup)cake party. Paired with all that frosting it seemed almost indecent; a kind of Marie Antoinette sumptuousness colliding with the explosive unpredictability of the Mad Hatter. I do adore this tea.

The rooibos? I got the green tea version which is like the most heavenly perfumed tea perfume ever (but I found a bit meh). I was just hesitating over this one and rouge sahara the other day, sahara won this time!
Yes, the rooibos! My friend promised to pick me up some Vert Provence in London this week, so a comparative taste note will hopefully follow! The green does smell amazing, but I have yet to actually drink it.
I was a bit underwhelmed by the green. Not sure quite why, tried to put it on a tasting note here. Maybe it smelled so heavenly I expected superintense and somehow it brewed different. Don´t quite know – hoping you are luckier with it than I was and looking forward to reading your opinion.
i needed to comment this one, just because I appeared to be at the birthday party. I really loved the combination of the afternoon tea you did as a dish to the tea. I believed it really fitted with the chocolate cupcakes as well as the lemon cupcakes.
Oh, hey, birthday girl. <3
I ended up getting this, and I am with you, it´s so so lovely!
cteresa: Yes! Sometimes it seriously feels like I’m the only person on Steepster who drinks rooibos teas.
We can start a club, Anna. Steepster rooibosistas. Society for the Appreciation of rooibos. or something :)
I do love it quite honestly, more than tisanes, it manages (to me) to be tea, to have that proper feeling of drinking something more than hot water.
Yes, let’s – and let’s see if we can find a third member in 2014!
I’m just really excited about these more elegant rooibos blends – like Rouge Provence, since I started out drinking very simple, basic rooibos teas. It’s like a whole new kind to explore.
