Description
The first in our Alchemy line of limited-edition teas!
Available only in loose-leaf form, only during January and February 2013.
Alchemy No. 1 combines premium rooibos – the caffeine-free, needle-like reddish leaves of a South African bush – with juicy orange and spicy clove for a perfect wintertime treat.
This limited-edition brew is great hot or iced, sweetened or not. Remember, though, that rooibos is naturally touched with sweetness – you can go easy on the sugar and honey with this one. Milk and cream are a matter of personal choice here – while clove goes wonderfully with cream, the natural citrus essence may curdle dairy.

You can definitely smell the clove at all times — when you open the bag, the tea is redolent with the scent of it, and the spicy scent persists as it brews. That clove taste is foremost, but not overpowering. I can taste the orange component sort of at the back of it, almost as an aftertaste. There is a natural sweetness to the tea that is perfectly-balanced for the blend. In fact, I was very pleased to find what a great balance this blend has, overall.
