Growing up in Canada, if there’s one thing from my childhood (and maybe a bit of my adulthood) I always remember in fondness it’s without a doubt Maple Leaf candies. I’m talking about the one made out of maple sugar and not the one made of maple syrup. There IS a difference between the both. When Spring can be smelled on the winds, you know those will soon be available. There’s nothing quite like taking one of those candies and letting it melt in your mouth. The burst of maple is pure heaven!
I never thought I would find the same sort of taste but minus the sugar in a tea! I had a cup brewed today in my local DT’s shop and I swear I had the loudest “OMFG!!!!” moment. Sure, people gave me a wide berth, and I’m sure a few actually called the nearest asylum to ask if any of their patients had escaped but I did not give a whoopin’ funt! Why? I was drinking the most blissful tea I had ever drank!
The taste of maple is all that comes across, the Rooibos the perfect vehicle for the savour. It would make a great latte but perhaps not a good iced tea (I may be wrong in that assumption though) It’s not sugary and yet there’s this hint of sweetness in the aftertaste.
Truly it’s a great tea for those who love maple flavour. Definitely a new favourite of mine.
