I’ve given this one three tries to see if I could make it taste delicious. I’m afraid I’ve failed. It just tastes and smells so chemically. It’s like floor cleaner. I don’t usually go for tropical flavors with red rooibos, but I figured if anyone could do it, it’s S&V. Unfortunately not. Perhaps I just received an off batch since other reviewers had a different experience. The only way to make this tea tolerable is to drink it cold. Then the negative flavors fade to the background, but they’re still there.

Have you tried cold brewing?
I often cold brew second steeps of fruity teas or green teas, but I guess I always thought red rooibos would turn out strangely cold brewed. Not sure why. I should try!
I’ve cold brewed red rooibos a few times and I think it tones down the woodsiness while the other flavours are brought out more. Good luck if you try it!
