The smell out of the bag is a bit overpowering, very spicy - but it mellows out as it steeps. When brewed, this tea is the most gorgeous redish chestnut color. I tried so hard to get a picture that did it justice but I couldn’t make it work (sorry Tim Gunn). But holy god is it gorgeous.

Recommended brew: 

- Rooibos, from my understanding, can handle lava hot water temperatures (ok maybe not that hot, but you don’t need to let your water rest for long on this one)
- Steep for about 5 minutes - there is some black tea in this so if you steep too long it can start to go bitter. 

Brewed:

• Smell is much less intense than from out of the bag
• Can definitely taste the cinnamon
• I would actually suggest against adding too much sugar as you can easily overpower the spiciness, but obviously that’s your choice!

Iced:

• Really delicious
• Definitely still spicy, which is nice in an iced tea
• I would recommend adding sugar to it iced as it rounds out the flavor and lessens the spiciness but for some reason didn’t overpower it like it does when served hot…?

Latte:

• The smell is amazing - it’s creamy and spicy and sweet and unf
• Don’t add too much sugar! Just a little is awesome
• The apple flavor really came out in the latte and it really grew on me

Iced latte:

• Definitely worth trying, all the good from the hot latte but iced
• No major flavor differences - perhaps the apple was a bit less prominent but it was still really tasty

He’s good no matter how you take him. Might not seem like your cuppa at first, but he definitely grows on you.
