Winter Mint Rooibos
With all the aroma of winter’s comforts, this naturally caffeine-free rooibos tea is both soothing and surprising. An initial burst of mint, followed by notes of dark chocolate, is finished with the lingering hint of vanilla chips and apple pieces. Naturally containing a delicate sweetness, this herbal is also nicely complemented by a few sprinkles of white sugar.
