Rio Bravo, George Cannon

Unknown - 12:10 AM


The name of this tea makes me immediately think of Brazil and the World Cup and almost gave me want to run away. Fortunately, I still gave a chance to the mix, saying that Rio Bravo is primarily a river that forms a natural border between Mexico and the United States.
I returned from the library (yes I drink tea and read, am I not perfect?) By a way that I never borrows when I came face-to-nose in front of the front of a tea shop ! Wagging all sides, I walked through the doors of this little shop that fills with joy, proved sell tea Cha Yuan. I thus learned that I will have to winds the streets of my hometown with a tea radar because this shop has been there for many years.
After almost fifteen minutes exchanged with the manager, I could not leave empty-handed despite my abstinence in the purchase of tea. So I set my heart on a tea box to customize because it seems to have survived the ages and the mixture Rio Bravo . I chose it because it contained rooibos and that I had no more. Now, and you will know now, always have at least one home.

As I am logical conclusion, I managed to pick one of the few references that were not from Cha Yuan but George Cannon : Rio Bravo . I was first attracted by the smell that mixes in a very pleasant vanilla with a hint of coconut. Its composition is also more is intriguing: Lapacho, Honeybush, Rooibos, vanilla, pineapple and coconut. 

The Honeybush from a South African shrub and develops aromas of honey that make it very soft. As rooibos, it has no caffeine. As for the Lapacho, there is a South American tree called also "tree of life" that is credited with healing properties. Here is what the brand says Les Jardins de Gaia :  "Sacred Tree of the Incas, Lapacho was discovered by the Indians "Kallawaya" of Brazil. The sapwood of this wild tree is rich in mineral salts and trace elements. Consumed for its amazing and multiple antiviral, refreshing, caffeine-free, this excellent drink is eaten hot or cold at any time " on the package, a 5 minute infusion time is recommended. For my part, I urge you to extend the infusion especially if one recalls that the Lapacho brewing time is fairly consistent. Depending on the brand, it is generally advisable to let it steep for 15 to 25 minutes. For Rio Bravo , from 10 minutes, the different aromas are more noticeable. Nevertheless, I would put a shade for the pineapple flavor I have not really seen. The coconut flavor is sweet and the vanilla largely predominates. Vanilla is of honeyed aspect that surely comes from Honeybush present in the composition. Note that the more you let infuse more coconut flavor is felt for my pleasure. When I bought this mix, there remained a caseback. The store manager also told me it would not renew its purchase. So I think the absence of the pineapple flavor can come from a long-term storage. I would have to order another package to make sure. Moreover, for those interested, tea can be found, among others, on this site . In summary, Rio Bravo is a heart stroke, which I am sure was not completely unveiled its potential . By the originality of its composition, it is one of those mixes that I can only advise you to try at least once. Devoid of caffeine, it has the advantage of being consumed by all and at all times.
