Rooibos de Provence

Very mellow, the taste lulls me to sleep so I often drink it in the evening. The smell of the unsteeped tea is reminiscent of Ribena crossed with a pharmacy’s perfume aisle, but as soon as the leaves are removed the scent mellows out, and matches the taste.

Went again to David’s tea yesterday. I had to exchange a tea that had begin to smell suspicious 0_o Anyway… you don’t go to the tea shop without buying tea eh? So I picked new samples: Berry good puer’h, Pineapple oolong, Ceylon star and, of course, Rooibos de provence.
I never had the idea to buy that tea because it didn’t seem attracting to me. I like to try teas that catch my attention, this one wasn’t one of them. But well, I like to drink a rooibos or an herbal tea before I go to bed – I sometimes have sleeping issues and those helps – and I already have so many kinds. I wanted to try a new one, so I picked this one. Why not? It has fruits in it after all – may taste good.
Verdict: Yeah, not bad at all! It tasted a bit like golden raisins. I’m glad I decided to try it after all :)
Would I buy again? I may not run to the store when I’m out of it because it’s not special to me, but I could eventually restock in the future!

I would definitely recommend this tea to almost anyone, especially if you want to relax or sleep, or both :)

Would never have tried this tea if my co-worker didn’t purchase it and make me a cup and boy oh boy, what I’ve been missing. I LOVE this tea. Fragrant with berries and lavendar. Such a wonderful caffeine-free treat!!

Initial impressions- This tea is sweet and a bit savoury all at once. Very relaxing, I think that’s the lavender I’m smelling. With the lavender and rose, and the red backdrop of rooibos, it is also an exceptionally attractive tea.
How I prepared it- 94 degree water with no sweetener for nine minutes. Prepared 1.25 tsp in a cup of water.
First sips- Mellow, sweet flavour. Lavender very prominent. I love this tea! Definitely a buy again!

I’m really not a fan of this one. For some reason, the taste and smell once it is steeped reminds me of olives. I can’t get past that.

The first thing you notice is that this herbal tea smells amazing; once steeped, it stays very tasty and relaxing. The rooibos – and lack of coconut – make it less sweet than Jessie’s Tea, another lavender tea from DAVIDs, and definitely floral. It took me a while to taste the berries, but it’s hard to ignore the fruity aftertaste once you start noticing it.

Like all my rooibos, I love it very hot, and steeped a long time – to me, as soon as it get a little lukewarm it loses a lot of the flavours, leaving only the sweet rooibos (which isn’t bad in itself, but definitely a little bland). It’s one of my favorite teas to drink at night; I let it steep in my room while I shower, and as a small bonus, the entire room smells heavenly for the whole night.

Absolutely delicious, one of my favorite teas at the moment.

I don’t like this tea aftertaste and it taste too much flowers.
I tasted that tea (hot) in a DAVIDsTEA boutique.
Je n’aime pas l’arrière-goût de ce thé, ça goûte trop les fleurs.
J’ai goûté ce thé dans une boutique Davidstea (chaud).

What a delicious tea! It’s fruity, floral and every time i have a sip i feel like i have a big flower bouquet in my mouth! and i LOVE eating flowers! When i oversteep it, i don’t like it as much but it sure is delicious
