Origines Tea Advent Calendar – Day 13 : this is a collaboration between Origines and another Bordeaux based company with expertise of chocolate. In this rooibos (blend of red and green rooibos) based infusion the chocolate-like addition is the cacao bark, which adds a dryness to the tropical fruit aroma´s in nose (for the dry tea blend). Once steeped, a ripe mango smell dominates. In mouth the tropical fruit smoothens the wooden character of the rooibos.

Flavors: Cacao, Dry, Mango, Rooibos, Tropical Fruit

Preparation
185 °F / 85 °C 5 min, 0 sec 1 tsp 8 OZ / 250 ML

Profile

Bio

Introduced to tea by my sister-in-law in my country of birth = Belgium more than 30 years ago, I still love tea, mainly black, which I enjoy without sugar or milk. Having lived in UK, near good tea shops (e.g. Betty´s all over Yorkshire), I tend to buy most of my tea in bulk from tea shops (as such, most of these are not represented in my on-line cupboard). Nowadays, I live in Spain where tea gives me another sensatory bliss (as wine or beer or coffee can give me too).

Location

Madrid, Spain
