And this is the last unlogged tea! I’ve been saving this for last, because I knew how bad this was going to be. (I tried this before, see. Once.)
This is a very nice rooibos. There’s this surprising, buttery note both in the nose and in the cup. It mingles quite deliciously with the berryful body of the tea. And then…
…chili!
Seriously, the horror.
This is the first and last chili tea I try. I love spicy food. I love chili. But in a tea? To my palate, it’s an abomination.
Which is a shame, because I’m sure someone who enjoys chili teas might really like this one – hence the (possibly surprisingly) generous grade. It’s not you, Fruity Chili, it’s me.
I’ll see if I can find a new home for it; I’m sure someone, somewhere said, ‘I love rooibos and chili teas!’, and I will hunt this person down.
