gurdymonkeyThe wifty sparkledust ad copy: A caffeine-free blend of golden Egyptian chamomile flowers and mildly stimulating, fragrant hyssop joined with smooth Cape rooibos, rose petals and linden flowers. You may need a sun hat.
TASTING NOTES: Chamomile, apple, honey. BLEND NUMEROLOGY: The famous Summer of Love (also a great year for the Chevy Camaro).
For best flavor, bring spring or freshly drawn filtered water to a boil (212 degrees). Steep 1 sachet or 2 rounded tsp (1.8 g) loose leaf for five minutes. Imagine something beautiful happening somewhere else in the world.
I suppose I should preface this with the fact that I am not a chamomile fan, but the last time I actually drank any, I can't really remember what it was about it that I didn't like. But it was part of the gift sampler from Staffan, so I figured I may as well try it.
This is pretty inoffensive, really just getting that apple note. Decently thirst quenching on a chilly afternoon, and I'm not feeling the need to pour it out or anything. That said, it's also not likely to be something I'd reach for when I want tea. You know, made with actual camelia sinensis leaves.
If I decide not to keep it, I know I have a chamomile drinker in the other building who will probably be quite happy to make it go away.
EDIT/Update: I brewed this over an hour ago - it's in the thermal travel cup - and it's turning out to be ok. I think it's growing on me. Apple flavor is holding steady, nothing is going funny as time passes. I could see this being a tummy soother.
