Historically, I have been a bit of a fence-sitter on the subject of rooibos tisanes. I like them in principle, but have never fallen so deeply in love with one I’ve tasted to buy it to drink at home. I bought this one on the recommendation of a Tea Centre customer service representative as a response to a suggestion I made to consider including a chocolate/cacao genmaicha, and I will say, it’s pretty good. It has all of the usual tobacco-ey caramel-y woody rooibos notes with a savoury sweetness from the almonds and brittle, and the chocolate doesn’t overwhelm the blend. I’ll probably buy it again, it’s a very nice dessert tea. I’m still hoping Tea Centre creates a chocolate genmaicha, though.
