Another Bayswater sample from the lovely OMGSRSLY
I was looking forward to trying this based on the delicious name and the delicious smell. I made a cup last night when I got home late after a hair appointment.
I was so tired, I just wanted to relax, it seemed a good night for a caffeine free tea.
Unfortunatelyyyyyy I think I can officially add Honeybush to my list of herbal “teas” I loathe, along with Rooibos.
This wasn’t as haylike or woodsy as rooibos is to me, however all I was getting from this repeatedly with every sip was some weird hay note and pepper. PEPPER so much PEPPER. I almost dumped it, the only thing stopping me was that I didn’t feel like making another cup of tea and I really wanted something to drink with the rest of my cookie.
Thanks so much for sending this along, OMGSRSLY, it had so much promise but I’m sad to say it’s not for me!
I won’t rate it because that seems unfair, like rating an egg salad sandwich poorly because I hate eggs. (Not true, and I love egg salad sammiches, just using that as an example)
Yeah, some people get pepper from it! I’m sorry honeybush is not for you.
Hmmm, sad. It does sound like it should be really delicious though. I do like honeybush, so maybe I’d like this.
It’s really good, Amariel, but I’m out and won’t make it to Bayswater before April.
I think CrowKettle might be back in Van soon and maybe she can get some if it is not too inconvenient. But no worries. I’m happy if I can try it, but not the end of the world if I don’t. :) Is April still looking good?
