This is a nice, sweet Rooibos. As other tasting notes indicate, people like this tea. I simply cannot get aroused by a nice Rooibos, sweet or otherwise. But I am always delighted to try new teas. I’d like to get a really full scope of what I am rejecting (or accepting) before I make any final verdicts or slam the door shut on something that I might enjoy.

I prefer this rooibos with a bit of jasmine pearls! In fact, that is how I first was introduced to it. I went to a Teavana shop and they had the blend already brewed for sampling. I didn’t buy it as a pre-blended mix. I already had jasmine pearls at home (this is the one tea that I did not carry as a tea vendor, but ALWAYS had on hand because I love it so), so I just bought some of the rooibos. It is probably the best “blend” from Teavana that I’ve had.
I think Rooibos is an acquired taste. I used to hate it and then one day I drank one flavor that I liked and now I like Rooibos. Also, I try to limit my caffeine so that I don’t get migraines, so the Rooibos and other herbals give me options when I’ve had enough caffeine. My gateway Rooibos (in case you are wondering which one changed my mind about Rooibos) is SpecialTeas Rooibos Sweet Heart.
Kristen: I don’t really care for a lot of rooibos either… I find that I prefer green rooibos to red rooibos. I don’t like either of them “plain” or unflavored, however, I do enjoy the plain or unflavored organic red and green rooibos.
What I have come to realize is this – rooibos tends to have a sort of “artificial sweetener” type of sweetness to them… as if they have been sweetened with saccharine. However, some flavors are better at offsetting that saccharine-ish flavor than others…
I’ll stop rambling now!
