Pretty basic lemon chamomile, nothing really stood out about it, but I did enjoy my pot of tea

I brewed cups of Jasmine Silver Needle White Tea (Teavana) and African Nectar Rooibos (Mighty Leaf) hot yesterday, but didn’t feel like steeping them again. I threw both teabags into a large cup of cold water and let it steep ~10 hours. The rooibos jasmine tea I’m now drinking is delicious. The rooibos makes it woody, sweet, and complex. The jasmine makes it a bit floral and distinctive. I will be making a jug of iced tea with this blend tonight.

I just love how aromatic and flavourful this tea is. It steeps a lovely golden colour and smells and tastes divine. It does 3 steeps before it loses some of its flavour, but you could keep going to develop the white tea is you wished to.

The white base is fantastic and the jasmine is very strong; the flavours blend so well. This is everything I’ve been wanting in a tea, I’m not sure I will ever let myself run out.

I drink this a lot, so I’m actually surprised I have not rated it. I read through a lot of reviews and thought I must have the wrong name, however when I checked the label I was indeed correct. Maybe it is my batch, but I do not taste flowers, citrus fruit, or bitter/tart flavours. My steeped liquid has always tasted mostly of basic rooibos-y rooibos (woody and sweet) with a unique undertone sort of like…bubblegum? It isn’t exactly like candy/sugary and also isn’t quite fruity or vanilla, I can not really describe it. Maybe it is because I am a HUGE rooibos fan, but I find it extremely pleasant. I was surprised to learn there is hibiscus in this tisane because I do not taste tart or floral.

I appreciate that this tea is impossible to over steep. I usually do three steeps and leave the teabag in the whole time. This also makes an amazing iced tea with a squeeze of lemon and some sugar. It also makes an awesome latte, although I usually drink mine hot and plain. I find it very versatile.

A bit too sweet, but handy if you want to make it on the go.

This is my favourite chai concentrate. I like to freeze it in icecubes and make a slushy out of it in the summer. In winter I usually mix it with milk. Lots of spices and very flavourful.
