Teatime Tuesday #5

It’s teatime again! Today I’m drinking an herbal tea, Honeybush Apricot, from one of my favorite companies, Adagio Teas. (One of my generous followers on Steepster sent me a sample of this during our recent swap!)

Honeybush Apricot & Ginger Molasses Cookie!

Honeybush is a close cousin to rooibos, which is sometimes called “red tea”–though it’s not technically tea. (That’s why herbals are often called infusions or tisanes instead.) Like all herbals, honeybush is caffeine-free. It’s lighter and sweeter than rooibos, but it still has a peppery, medicinal sort of taste. The apricot flavor in this one makes it sweeter, and to me, more drinkable.

I paired it with a ginger molasses cookie from Paradise Bakery, because they’re in season and also my favorite.

Thanks for joining me for tea!
