Day 7: Masculin

Brand: Lupicia
Type: Herbal (Rooibos base)
Brew Time & Temperature: 3 minutes, boiling water
Leaf Appearance: Red-brown rooibos with bits of herbs (maca, ginseng, ginger) and powdered cinnamon
Color: A very nice shade of orange
Smell: Dominantly cinnamon
Recommended with/as: Honey, sugar, as is
Rating: 7.5/10

Tasting notes and thoughts:
This tea is a bit different, for lack of better words. It has a very strong cinnamon kick, with a slightly sour aftertaste. As for the other herbs, it would be hard to tell that it was in the tea, but it would certainly be doable. I can't really describe this tea, since it just tastes very odd overall. However, it did grow on me after a few cups, and I would recommend this as a before-bed tea (since its a rooibos and isn't terrible- just different). I could see this as a tea for people who do like savory teas.

Other notes:
Hooray! 1 week in, 13 more to go.

Next on the 100 Days of Tea: Jasmin Mandarin
