The dry leaf smells almost buttery here. There is the scent of rooibos, but it’s fairly tame.
At it’s warmest, the fruit is mostly forward, but mixed so much with the rooibos it’s hard to tease apart the two. As the tea cools, the biscuit comes out and the rooibos calms down, making it a much more enjoyable cup.
I steeped this for 3 minutes, 30 seconds instead of the 4-5 minute recommendation.
I couldn’t finish this one off before bed, so I threw the rest of my mug in the fridge to have it this morning. The smell is definitely rooibos, but the taste is more fruits with a hint of biscuit. The bonus is that the cold is very refreshing! It’s making me want to cold brew all the teas.

I may have to try this one when I run out of my Charlotte aux Fruits Rouges, which they no longer seem to carry… (grumbles)
They don’t have that one any longer? I have some in my cupboard and I’m not a huge fan (the black base). I can include some in the inevitable swap if you want. :)
This sounds divine. I love putting butter and fruit preserves on my toast— sounds like this tea captures that flavor profile.
