Sipdown! This came in Teaandmeblog’s advent calendar this past year and I greatly enjoyed it. Rooibos heavy with fruity mulled spices, this is perfect for a cold January afternoon while the sun is shining. Steeped 7 minutes and added 3 sugar cubes.

Sipdown

I’m drinking leftovers from my Tea and Me Blog Advent. I had reviewed this one on the vlog, but I am just going to go off of my current feelings with the cup. The aroma of the dry/wet leaf reminds me of beef jerky. It’s ‘meaty’ and ‘seasoned’ notes on the nose are off putting.

The flavor profile is alright. Passable at best, but definitely not the cup of rooibos I’d go for again, unless it were to lessen the load of my stash. I never give up on an unpopular tea in my stash, but I may not enjoy sipping it down. I added a tad bit of honey and it extracted the clove a touch. Again, it didn’t really hit home for me. I think this was the only tea of the advent that left me somewhat unimpressed. 24/25 is a pretty good outcome though.

Flavors: Clove, Meat
