velvety ∙ comforting ∙ dessert

This blend is a dessert lovers dream. Its natural sweetness really shines in the spotlight and could definitely be compared to a baked pastry. Flavors of lavender and light coffee are balanced with a slight nuttiness to this blend.

Ingredients: red rooibos, natural flavor, lavender, apple, blue cornflower, pu erh tea, roasted flavored coffee, cinnamon, freeze dried banana, red rooibos, calendula

Subscription box tea! I am a big fan of the banana coffee puerh, so I figured I’d like this, and I did like the lavender crème brûlée, but I didn’t see a need for more of it in my cupboard. Maybe I should rethink that. This is a lovely cup of tea with strong coffee notes while it’s hot and nice creamy lavender as it cools. It makes me wonder what else I could add to the coffee puerh. Ginger? Chai? The second steep isn’t as good as the first, but still has a nice creamy lavender vibe. I will enjoy sipping down this tea!

First one up from the fall subscription box!

Not a lavender lover, but their Banana Bread Coffee Pu Erh is one of my favorites, so that’s encouraging. Luckily, the lavender isn’t super strong here. Seems to be about an equal split between the two teas. I’m not sure how I feel about lavender and coffee together, it’s a bit of an odd combination to me. Maybe if there was more creaminess it would tie them together better. Honestly I’m surprised there’s not more cream flavor given the name.

Not bad, I’ll have to try this one a few more times to decide how I feel about it…

That’s got a lot of flavors going on in it! I presume the puer is a ripe product. Could you detect any vanilla-caramel out of it, representing the creme brulee? Is there actually a rooibos ingredient? Or just a flavor note? Maybe your next steeping will reveal furher character!

Aha! I now see that OBTC does list rooibos (twice) as an ingredient in their description.

As bougie as this is (insert hands over face emoji here), I had a lavender latte (with lavender tea) and an espresso shot (plus non dairy milk) recently and it was divine. Granted it was from a fancy coffee shop – all that to say, this sounds like it has potential and the few OB teas I’ve had from your tea sharing have intrigued me with the company in general as well. :)

I assume there is cream or vanilla flavor in the rooibos blend, but I’ve never had it so I couldn’t say.
