Today's tea is another new one to me: Cinnamon Rooibos Chai...
Brand: David's Tea
Primary Type: Rooibos
Dry Scent: Very cinnamon, of the sweet, "cinnamon heart" type. Quite sweet-smelling, with earthy, sun-warmed notes of the red rooibos and faint citrussy hints as well to brighten it up.
Steeping Time: 7-8 min
Steeped Flavour: This is...surprisingly sweet, actually. There is honey flavour in this, and it is most definitely evident. There is also, of course, cinnamon notes, citrus and earthy rooibos, but the tea is almost too sweet for me, and there isn't quite as much bite from the cinnamon as I'd like. Warming, but...not quite warming enough.
Food/Drink Pairings: This would probably be much better with a little shot of goldschlager or fireball, any cinnamon liqueur. It probably would be good with gingersnaps as well.
Rating out of Six Tails:
4/6

I'm putting a "buy" on this, but if you're looking for a cinnamon tea in particular, there are others I'd recommend before this one.
