Origines Tea Advent Calendar – Day 13 : this is a collaboration between Origines and another Bordeaux based company with expertise of chocolate. In this rooibos (blend of red and green rooibos) based infusion the chocolate-like addition is the cacao bark, which adds a dryness to the tropical fruit aroma´s in nose (for the dry tea blend). Once steeped, a ripe mango smell dominates. In mouth the tropical fruit smoothens the wooden character of the rooibos.
