One of the problems with reviewing tea is the lack of a universal standard. I do not know very much about wine or wine tasting, but I get the sense that there is a universal standard (or perhaps a few standards) to which new wines can be compared. Whereas a tea review might tell the reader more about the reviewer than the tea. For example, in this review I compare Local Coffee + Tea Selby Select Rooibos to an ice cream bar know as the Creamsicle.The company know as Local Coffee + Tea is Florida-based (Gulf Coast) and they are committed to promoting local products and services, protecting local environments and celebrating local treasures.
Selby Select is the perfect winter/holiday season drink and is comprised Rooibos, orange peel and dried yogurt pieces. In every step of the brewing process the ingredients smell (and taste) like a Creamsicle. The liquor is an orange-brown color and places the orange flavor far back in the throat.
I steeped one heaping teaspoon of tea in eight ounces of water for five minutes. I tried this drink plain, with honey, with whipping cream and honey and with soymilk and honey. My 8.5 score represents my favorite way - whipping cream and honey.
I’ve never used heavy cream in tea before. Perhaps, subconsciously, I am trying to recreate an experience as a child and build the most Creamsicle-like drink possible. Now what might that tell you?
