Monsieur T

When I was in Quebec City, I decided to buy this rooibos from Monsieur T. The name intrigued me, and despite the smell of Root Beer in the bag, I really wondered if the taste was going to be the same.

Well, I taste it today and… yes, it taste Rootbeer but without the sparkling. And it doesn’t hide the rooibos and the honeybush. It’s very strange and I don’t know how to describe this! Lol Like I say in my review (in French), if you don’t know what Rootbeer is, I suggest trying it before to try this blend. You probably understand what I mean by “it taste rootbeer” and not to describe each ingredient.

Very tasteful tea for iced tea. Cold brew.

I’m not sure of what I’m smelling first. Is it eucalyptus? It smells very strong, and I’ve already smell this before but I can’t put a name on it. It doesn’t taste incredibly good hot but I guess that’s the kind of herbal drink that you would rather drink for the benefits than for the taste. However, it is surprisingly good cold-steeped. Instead of a light yellow colour, it is bright pink and it tastes much more fruity.

Well, it’s no mystery that rooibos goes well with chai spices. Pretty much every tea company did this kind of blend (I like Davidstea Coco Chai Rooibos). This is a tea sample that came with my order. It has a strong peppercorn aftertaste but it’s very good.

My first genmaicha! I like it! Although I can’t compare it with other companies… But yeah, the roasted rice goes well with the bitterness of the ‘grassy’ green tea. This can easily be my everyday go-to green tea.

Subtle coconut and vanilla taste but nothing over the top. However, I can’t taste the raspberry. This blend was launch for Easter but honestly, I hardly see the link with the holiday.

Good simple cinnamon tea. However I won’t buy it again because of its lack of originality.

It has a very strong smell of bitter almond but unfortunately we don’t taste it much. It’s pretty much just like a regular green tea.

A good blend of rooibos and maté with a herbaceous taste and a little touch of honey.

Subtle taste, too subtle. That’s a shame, I really wanted to like this.

Good balance of spices and a perfect way to drink more nettle. I might buy it again but not right away.

I’m confused. It doesn’t taste like lemon or basil. It’s just a plain wulong… What’s going on ?!

Hum. This is a good black tea. It lightly smells and tastes «gourmand» and sweet with a hint of cinnamon but I cannot identify maple syrup (or maple toffee) in there.
