Herein this tea are flavors that conspire to make you happy. The richness of toasted almond is decadent and soul-affirming, balanced lovingly by the perky, uplifting notes of cardamom and a touch of sweet cinnamon in our caffeine-free rooibos. Try it as an afternoon delight, or a Sunday morning treat!

I wish this was on a black base. not rooibos. The almond and cardamom flavors are wonderful, but there's that pencil shaving-like rooibos creeping up on me as soon as it starts to cool.

A perfect confection in a cup. The flavor notes are sweet and warming, and the almond is quite present sometimes reminding me of marzipan. I especially like it with a bit of cream which it handles very well. Don't brew it for too long as the cardamom pods can release a camphor like taste. I also like this with a splash of cream over ice as an alternative to a chai latte.

I had this tea with a splash of oat milk. This tea is very balanced, almond, cardamom and rooibos can all be noted. I then added a spoon of sugar to bring out the cake more. I think the tea is a bit too much in the standard dose, though. I might shorten the brewing time.

This is a very unique tea; I can't really think of anything to compare it to! The almond flavor is nice but not overpowering, and it has a nice, smooth flavor and natural sweetness.

unique desert tea. Added touch of monk fruit. Tea would be delightful with nearly any cake. It's one I'd like to serve on special occasions with a nicely baked cake. Had my first cup with a chocolate chip muffin and it was Devine.

One of my favorites I've had in a bit. The almond scent is very strong, though I'd say the cinnamon and woody sweetness from the rooibos tea is far more pronounced than the cardamom. Sweet and smooth, not tannin-y at all. Really good.

It is so lovely to have a wonderfully aromatic and tasty spiced tea that is also caffeine free! The woodsy warm taste of rooibos blends perfectly with the caradmom and other spices in this blend. I love this tea hot! Yum!!

This has a sweet almond scent with toasted wood and earth aroma upon opening. After brewing it has more wood aroma. I don't taste any cardamom. As it cools it develops more almond flavor.
