Yesterday, while at Bicester Village, we picked up some of Bodum’s Caramel Creme Rooitea.  It is a blend of rooibos and caramel pieces.  Rooibos is an herbal tea from southern Africa and is known by a variety of names around the world, including Red Tea, Bush Tea, and Redbush Tea.  We purchased it because rooibos is caffeine-free and Jill has been looking for alternatives to regular black tea for awhile.

We made our first cups of the tea last night and it was quite good!  Rooibos is naturally slightly sweet and nutty flavored … a taste that is enhanced by the little pieces of caramel included in the blend.  The blend, while slightly expensive at £4 for 100g (normally £6, but it was cheaper at the outlet), is perfect for a late-night cup of tea and for Jill to take to work as something to drink instead of regular tea and coffee.

Unfortunately, I have been unable to find the Bodum product online … it is not only any of their websites.  The closest thing that I found was this blend from Culinary Teas.  So, I guess that we may have to go to Bicester Village when this bag runs out.
