Taster’s Review:
When I first opened the package of this tisane, I was blown away with how good it smelled. The cinnamon was strong, as was the vanilla, and the combination of these two aromas was postively breathtaking! It really does smell like cinnamon buns! YUM!
That’s why I was just a little disappointed by the flavor. Don’t get me wrong, it’s quite tasty! But, I am sitting here, wishing that the flavor was more like the fragrance. More cinnamon and vanilla, and a little less in the orange flavor.
The flavor of the red and green rooibos together with the honeybush creates a very pleasant tasting base that is honey-sweet with a nice nutty flavor that lends itself well to a baked kind of taste. It compliments the cinnamon and vanilla flavors and overall, there is a cinnamon bun flavor going on in this cup.
But… why the orange? It is as though the orange washes away some of the flavor rather than enhances it.
This is a very tasty blend … and yet, disappointing. I do like the flavors as they are in this tisane, but… I think this tisane could have been so much more that what it is! It could be a Vanilla Cinnamon Bun flavored tisane, and instead I have a creamy orange spice tisane. Tasty, but just not what I expected!
