It seems I have much more of this left than I remember…hum…well, I haven’t done my Rooibos of the day yet so…here goes…
It has a faint scent of Raspberry and I can smell a hint of cream this time around…which I don’t remember from last time.
It’s like sweet on sweet…eh. A little cigar like too. Still not blown away by this one…but it IS a rooibos and it IS appreciated via Jillian.
Trying this tea courtesy of TeaEqualsBliss – Thanks!
Not my favorite rooibos tea, but it isn’t bad either. The raspberry flavor is very faint, as if it’s competing with the flavor of the rooibos. I experience more of the tart tingle on my tongue from the berry than I do actual berry flavor.
I can also taste the cream – but it too is quite delicate.
What I like best about this particular blend is that the flavors have managed to mask that artificial sweetness taste that I often get from rooibos, so what I’m left with is a slightly woodsy, slightly berry, with a touch of vanilla cream tasting cup. I’m tempted to allow it to cool significantly to see how it might fair as an iced tea.
eh… the more I’m drinking this, the less I’m liking it (and that rarely happens). The tea seems to be losing flavor as I go, rather than it intensifying – which is really odd.
LOL, I think this might have been mine originally – I seem to recall giving away my bag of it to TeaEqualsBliss awhile ago in the “Take It Away” thread.
I wasn’t terribly thrilled with it either, but since I’m not a fan of pretty much any red rooibos tea I’m possibly biased. :D
I’m not a huge fan of red rooibos either – although there are some that I really do like (52Teas chocolate banana for example). This one just didn’t have enough flavor to it to keep me interested, I’m afraid.
This tea was a gift from my mother about a year ago – before I told her that I’m not a huge fan of rooibos teas.
I’ve never tried this brand before so I don’t know what to expect and what their other teas might be like quality-wise. Looking at the dry tea I can see little raspberry druplets mixed in with the rooibos, which is a point in the tea’s favor. There’s a distinct raspberry tang to the smell of the tea while it was brewing aswell, though not anything I would call ‘creamy’.
The flavour, unfortunately, is pretty blah. There’s a bit of sweet raspberry flavouring to it, but mostly it’s just a light rooibos tea.
