There is always time for tea and cake (or in this case cake-flavored tea).
Wow, the frosted fruitcake #tisane is full of ingredients from #rooibus #tea to #fruit pieces and #spices
I don't eat fruitcake (eww) but I was so excited to finally have some Rooibus tea in the box, especially one beautifully infused with fruits and spices.
The dry tisane was fragrant, and when wet, the aroma was still strong but slightly less sweet. The rooibus smell was strong, with an undertone of the fruits and spices which really reminded me of a fruit cake and marzipan, and the different ingredients balance out so none of the aromas were overpowering.
The tea itself was really tasty. The liquor was a deep golden color, and both the flavor and the color lasted for several brews. The rooibus was the strongest flavor, with the fruit and spices combining together, with no single flavor overpowering the others (although I will admit that I managed to spill the first brew and part of the leaves so that may have impacted the flavor profile slightly!
