And now for a bonus conference tea! I squirelled this one away when work held a conference back in… October? November? But then I didn’t actually drink it! So it seemed apropos to do it now.

Honestly, this is significantly better than I expected it to be. I’ve had a lot of vanilla rooibos blends and many, if not most, tend to either have a fairly weak vanilla flavor that doesn’t match the strength of the rooibos or the vanilla is a touch alcohol-y/fake-tasting. Not so with this one! The creamy vanilla complements the woody rooibos really beautifully. The gentle hint of lime gets stronger – but never overwhelming – as the tea cools, and lingers pleasantly after the sip. This is a really solid offering! I can see it being great to enjoy year-round, both hot and iced. Now I kind of wish I had grabbed more.

Flavors: Lime, Vanilla, Woody
