Okay, so it’s this one again. I’m getting ready for dinner while performing various menial tasks around the apartment and I needed something non-caf. My plan is to hit the rooibos stash pretty hard in the near future, both to achieve some downsippage, and to keep my caffeine intake low. I don’t quite see myself …

Mango Lassi – Butiki Teas
This one confuses me – I like my flavored rooibos well enough, but this is like drinking straight-up rooibos. It smells like rooibos in the bag, it smells like rooibos in the cup, and it tastes like rooibos in the cup. Any hint of anything else, mango or otherwise, is simply absent. I can’t really …

The tea itself is rolled oolong; I tend to find the leafy kind more soothing – all that rolling-out action reminds me of …
