10. Lavender Rooibos
If Jessica was a Tea, she would be:
LuShan Yunwu, because it grows at high altitude on a mountain where the air is more pristine and it is very complex. Growing in clouds & mist makes it a fresh, grassy green. She likes the idea that clouds & mist produce a more complex, greener tea with more chlorophyll - maybe people are the same?
