Granville Island Tea Co

I still have 5 ounces of this (along with three other rooibos blends from Granville) that I’m never going to get through. I’m hoping I end up with a travelling teabox soon because I just have so much of it!

Overall, blueberry rooibos is a bit plain, but I like the sweet, woody rooibos and the dried blueberries. Nothing really stands out for me in this blend, but it makes for a good cup when you are craving rooibos.

Sipdown! (finally) I’ve had this tea way too long. Two years now, maybe? Never buy huge quantities of a rooibos…you will get bored of the flavour and not want to drink it,

Coldbrewed with 2 tsp raspberry rooibos from Granville and 1 tsp chocolate black tea from India’s Tea. Mostly raspberry still, but a cocoa undertone to enjoy as well.

Never again will I buy 400g of rooibos in one purchase. I still have all four rooibos flavours I bought from Granville. They are getting older, but 100g of each flavour takes a long time to drink.

Raspberry and vanilla flavours could be a bit stronger, but overall a very tasty and sweet tea. There is a creamy, dessert-like quality to this tea, which I very much enjoy.

I swear this tea will never be finished. I feel like I’ve had it a hundred times and yet there’s still a few cups left. sigh Soon.It’s tasty and all, but I have too many teas right now. This is so plain, it needs to go and then I can buy something interesting.

This tea is very sweet and rooibos-y but there is not a lot of apple flavour or apple pie spices. It smells like sweet apple pie, but I wish the flavour was a bit stronger. The nice thing about this tea is you can keep the tea bag in and it never gets too strong or bitter.

Day 5 of Lion’s Week of Tea challenge
Thursday | Black tea

I drank the decaf version last night with milk and it was quite tasty., the milk offset the bitterness and overly tannic flavour that this black tea often has. I recommend trying this at least once as a latte. The creaminess from the milk also mixes really well with the undertone of stonefruits (peach and apricot most notably)

Gets very tannic and bitter very fast. There is a definite fruity smell and flavour to the tea. I taste primarily apricot or peach and strong, bitter black tea.
