Getting a feel
We decided on a trip
to Stellenbosch today
and it was our first apart from a drive-through over a year ago. We had been to
the winelands around the city and it was getting to be too historic a place to
miss.
Setting out for lunch
at Stellenbosch Kitchen, the short menu, two per course had provenance and
historical notes. As there is no alcohol being served, we made do with what was
in the meals, one of the entrees had vinegar and for dessert, it was Amarula
bread and butter pudding. Yet, we are in the middle of the Cape Winelands.
Then we made for the
Tourist Information office and as we passed the African Art Gallery, I could
not help but notice the many giraffe sculptures quite likely numbering more
than giraffes in the wild.
Rooibos tea
At the Tourist Office
where we waited to start our Stellenbosch
On Foot tour, I asked and decided to try rooibos (red bush) tea with a hint
of sugar. Out of the teapot, I expected a redder hue than was presented in the
teacup, a strong tea visage with an inviting palate.
The aroma was cool
and earthy. To the taste, it felt like tea without any characteristic discovery
in flavour. From a frame of reference, a stronger and darker serving of Chinese
tea. I won’t put milk in rooibos tea and will likely prefer it as iced tea.
Alright, now I read it is an herbal tea, how on earth can you be served that at
breakfast?
