I know there’s a pretty hefty anti-roo contingent out there, but I’ve always liked it. (rocking chair creaks…or maybe my knees) Why, I remember back in the day, the only rooibos you could find was just unflavored…and we drank it while walking uphill six miles on the way back from the tea shop…
So when folks started adding flavors, I thought that was pretty uptown. My favorite blend-ins were (and are) ice creamy flavors—chocolate, vanilla, and the like. So pecan makes sense, flavor-wise. The marked absence of actual pecans from this blend does not make sense, but it’s a fair replica, scent-wise. It’s more fruity than it is nutty, but I’m thinking the addition of some milk might “pie” it up a little. Plenty left in the pouch to play with.

I actually like rooibos! Well, I like it when it is blended with yummy spices and other flavors. It seems perfect to me as an autumn tea. The first rooibos based tea I ever had was Good Earth’s Sweet n Spicy, whi8ch remains a favorite to this day.

I first hunted it down after reading “The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency” back when the series was new, although I believe Precious Ramotswe referred to “bush tea.”
