The Zen Shop

I can’t believe I’ve been on Steepster for more than 2 years! Looking back on my tasting note on this tea, I also couldn’t believe that I used to put sugar and/or milk in my rooibos. I no longer do that. However, I am willing to give it a try for this tea.

I went to a mall near me and was surprised to find The Zen Shop in there! I moved since 2009 so I didn’t think there would be one near me. I found this tea, and I was excited to try it again. I had remembered it tasting sweet and delicious. Upon tasting this tea, it didn’t smell like I thought it would smell. It didn’t taste as sweet as I thought it would either. I guess my taste has changed or this tea blend may have been altered. However, judging from the ingredients on the package and on this site, they are the same.

This tea is delicious. It is warm and mildly spicy. The spices didn’t translate strongly. The rooibos predominated this tea, which was tasty. I can’t wait to try this one again. For now, I know that I need to bump the rating down on this one.

I haven’t felt this sick in ages! I decided to reach for Rooibos Zanzibar Spice this evening. The warm spices… the candied ginger… it all sooths my throat. I’m going to drink some more of this!

Got this at The Zen Shop at the Mall of Short Hills. This is so delicious. The blend is very nice and smooth, and it is not too spicy. Great with or without milk and sugar.
