Name: 3pm Tea
Brand: Pearl Fine Teas
Type: Rooibos/black tea blend
Form: Loose leaf
Review: This tea was blended to help folks overcome the “3pm munchies” at the office: Instead of buying a candy bar, try sipping a tea that smells (and tastes) like one instead!
Pearl Fine Teas blended rooibos, black tea, vanilla, chocolate, and coconut to create 3PM Tea. The result is a luscious, sweet brew dominated by coconut, with the other sweet/warm flavors meshing nicely, and the black tea providing structure. This is a warm and comforting tea, and could make a nice alternative to chai.
(Incidentally, there appears to be more rooibos than black tea in this blend, so you won’t get a full shot of caffeine when drinking this tea.)
Preparation Tips: Rooibos is good for long steeps, but the black tea will become bitter and disagreeable if left to stand too long. I found that using 2 teaspoons of dry leaf per 8 oz of boiling water, and then a six-minute infusion produced a sweet, rich, almost creamy tea with no bitterness.
