Take a trip to the Orient with the zest of fresh lemongrass, tangy apples and candied citrus all tempered with sweet vanilla. A sweet delight to help soothe your stomach and relax your body and mind. A great way to relax just before bed!
How to Prepare
Use 1.5 teaspoons of tea per 8 ounces of water. Heat water to just boiling (208 degrees) and steep for 5-6 minutes. 2oz of tea equals 25-30 teaspoons.
Ingredients:
Green Rooibos, apple bits, lemongrass, vervaine, orange bits and vanilla pieces.
I loved this tea and was disappointing to see it discontinued. Luckily I went into Teavana after they had bagged the remaining stock up into give away with purchase gifts. The girl working the counter (who is by far the most awesome non pushy chill “teaologist” I have ever encountered at a Teavana) was kind enough to give me the the few remaining bags which I have been hoarding ever since. I adore lemongrass and this tea has always been good to me… until now. It is summer so I have been cold brewing teas. This is the first time I have had this tea cold brewed and it either changes the flavors to a sharper more lemon/citrusy bite OR my stash is past it’s peak. I have hot brewed it and then iced it and it was good that way, but it is really not doing it for me this way. I’m not sure if I was subliminally put off by the looks of the rehydrated for a few days after being dehyrated for a few years slice of citrus, but I swear it looked like a grey slice of preserved lung.
I’ll have to review this tea again next time I hot brew it because cold really isn’t doing it justice.
My package of teas from my trade with Lori came yesterday and I was determined to try this one. The smell in the package was a creamy lemon, like a lemon tart, and the steeped liquor was the same as well as being the color of lemon meringue. The taste was definitely lemon and cream with a faint note of something fruity in the background…perhaps from the rooibos.
This tea is so naturally sweet I could probably get used to drinking it without sugar which, for me, is saying quite a lot. I probably wouldn’t drink this often but it would be a great occasional afternoon tea on a rainy day in the summer.
This is a very nice rooibos tea both iced and hot. Mixes well with Zingiber Ginger Coconut Rooibos (Teavana). During the winter I mix it with Apple Lemon Pomegranate (Teavana) and brew it iced. Then I add some Silk Soy Eggnog :D It sound totally weird, but it is delicious!
