I started drinking rooibos after doing a story about a tea house in Medicine Hat. It's much, much better for you than tea. I still love tea, but I drink rooibos for my health.
Now I frequent Oolong, a tea house that holds a weekly stitch 'n' bitch in Kensington in Calgary. I quite enjoy their Bourbon Street Vanilla Rooibos, which has slivers of almond throughout. Chocolate Mint sounds tasty, though! I'll have to see if they have it.
Have you ever tried white tea? I like it a lot more than green tea, which I find leaves a very cabbage-like aftertaste. White tea is more like a pekoe, but it's not orange. It's way more expensive though. I think I spent $10 on a tiny tin of white tea!
I really love the ritual of tea. It takes time to make a good pot and I like lazing around with a pot or two on Sundays while reading a good book.
