THANK YOU for making this. I wanted caffeine-free Bergamot tea and it's not common to find. Adagio Teas is special.
A caffeine-free twist on a classic blend. Zesty citrus, but smoother and sweeter than traditional Earl Grey.

Excellent Earl Grey flavor - love that I can get this in rooibos! Highly recommend if you love earl greys!
Great blend of my two favorite teas (rooibos and earl grey). Not sure if i'll order it again though, as I have a rather large backlog.
This is a lovely, light version of Earl Grey that I enjoy most as an evening cup.
It won't replace Earl Grey Bravo which is my all time favorite, but Rooibos Earl Grey is now my afternoon and/or evening tea (because it is caffiene free). This is an excellent tea, great flavor, and beats other brands I have tried 'hands down.' Never bother to check temp as I heat the water and brew immediately afterit boils.
I really didn t like the taste of rooibos mixed with the citrus.
I no longer drink caffeinated tea and I used to miss my Earl Grey. This rooibos has been such a great alternative to enjoy the bergamot flavor I like so much.
Delicious earl grey flavor, but I think I prefer it with black tea.
Great earl grey flavor without the caffeine or acidity of black tea. Very nice alternative! Great with cream and sugar.
Really good. I like strong flavored teas in the morning, and this one hits the spot.
Quickly became a bedtime favorite - will reorder. I don t love rooibos generally, but this one blends nicely with the earl grey flavors.
One of my favorite evening teas. Beautiful, strong taste of the earl grey in a caffeine free easy to drink cup.
Good by itself, but I like to use it to make a delicious homemade London Fog - combine with copious milk, honey, and a splash of vanilla extract and it's the greatest dessert you've ever had.
This is a lovely tea for a non caffeinated option, though I find that the Rooibos flavor overwhelms the citrus-y aspects of the Earl Grey a little bit.
This one has the wonderful purple flowers in it however the earl gray is at no point a dominating flavour.
This tea does satisfy my Earl Grey cravings but just can't come close to the real thing. Don't brew too long or the rooibos flavor overpowers the earl grey.
Rooibos Earl Grey is the best tea ever. I can have that awesome bergamot taste without the caffeine!!!
This tea satisfies my cravings for serious, grown-up earl grey tea, without the heavy dose of black tea caffeine. The rooibos pairs well with the tart citrus bergamot, orange on orange. It's nice with a splash of milk for more creaminess, and it is great hot or iced. A nice alternative for earl grey when you need a caffeine-free cup of tea.
I love earl grey tea, but I don't think it went well with Rooibos.
This one I consider an every day tea. It's got a wonderful solid smell with floral notes.
I've had this tea before. I don't remember it tasting like this before. I'm an Earl Grey tea lover. I enjoy Rooibos tea in the evening. To me it's a natural to purchase this tea especially since I had it before and enjoyed it. This time bergamot flavor was very strong. Initially I made it the way I have before; 1 tsp per cup, boiling water, 5 minutes. I have a teaspoon that's specifically designed to measure the perfect cup of tea so I know it wasn't too much. It was terrible! Next I tried weighing the tea leaves, that too was a no-go. I tried steeping for less time, backing off on the amount of tea leaves used, adding milk, nothing helped. It was mildly better if I went half-and half with Rooibos Vanilla or Decaf Vanilla Black tea. My husband thought it smelled a bit like mosquito repellent and suggests I put it on the compost pile to keep the mosquitoes away in the back yard. I think I might.
Love the antioxidant qualities of Rooibos and joining flavors of these two teas without too much caffeine - way to go.
Different to a black tea variant, obviously, but well worth it if you'd like to avoid the caffeine. I'm a bit mad for anything 'Earl Grey' and have an amusing story about an old woman, a cup of earl grey and the back side of a poor ferret. Mix this with something vanilla for kickers. Don't over measure, it comes out like soap.
All in all, a good tea. The flavor is strong and can be medicinal if oversteeped. I've had milder, sweeter earl grey rooibos tea elsewhere.
Combine the floral of Earl Grey tea with the sweetness of Rooibos, and you have this delicious tea. It is the favorite tea of my boyfriend and me while watching Netflix at night.
Regular old Earl Grey is great, but when you use red tea, the new flavor is even better
a solution to my late night earl grey cravings. love it in the morning, too. it lends a warm, round flavor to the bergamot -- also nice to mix with the decaf earl grey.
I have always loved the taste of earl grey tea, but now more than before when it is made with rooibos.
Very nice! I love earl grey but sometimes don't want the caffeine--this was perfect.
A beautiful blend that has allowed me to live with my caffeine restriction. Rich, smooth, and truly earl grey with blue corn flower like the Earl Grey Moonlight blend.
Reminds me of my grandfather as this was his favorite tea... a wonderful option for those who love bergamot but don't want the caffeine.
I was a little wary of the earl grey, because I have had headaches from Twinings Earl Grey and other caffeinated teas, but this did not do that, and I have enjoyed it in place of caffeinated teas, because of the strong flavor.
One of my favorite rooibos flavors. Great for multiple steepings, and works well to drink all day.
This naturally decaffeinated earl grey tea was excellent. I will order it again and again.
Wanting to try out all of the earl grey options Adagio has, I tossed a sample of this into my pantry. The smell after brewing is a little odd, but the taste is very bergamotty. A lot stronger than normal earl greys, but still quite tasty.
Still not liking rooibos. Only tried a few, but this wasn't better.
I have recently fallen in love with rooibos teas - this one is such a fabulous version of earl grey!
Love this tea. I had missed earl grey so much when I stopped caffeine so it is great to have this option that tastes like the real thing without caffeine.
The taste of earl grey without the caffeine, for when I want my favorite tea but need to go get to bed early...kind of a weird smell but great when you get over it.
It wasn't bad, it just wasn't very earl grey. I think I could have steeped it a little longer as I was using my tea flask on the run but overall it was just okay. Not terrible but not really earl grey.
A nice alternative to the Black Tea version. Nice mellow blend of spices.
I'm a fan of all earl grey, and needed to get some rooibos for a cold that I had at the time, and this tea did not disappoint. With a little bit of sugar or honey, the sharper notes of earl grey that some may not like are softened, and the rooibos itself also helps with that. Even if you don't think that teas can cure colds, it's definitely a nice drink whether you're feeling under the weather or not.
Earl grey without the caffeine and delicious rooibos richness. A dash of cream and some rock sugar and you have a real treat.
Note on the brewing temp: I wish I could do boiling water but the hot water spout at my office doesn't allow for that. I bought this tea because I wanted the taste of Earl Grey without the caffeine, since I drink tea at work all day and actually do want to sleep. I wish the Earl Grey taste was stronger because the tea smells more like Earl Grey than it tastes. Still, you end up with a really nice citrus aroma. I also wish this was good for multiple infusions but so far I haven't had a ton of luck extracting enough flavor a second time.
This was my first Roobios. It was interesting. I'll happily use up the sample, and I doubt it'll become a staple, but I might order it again.
One of my favorites. I always have it in my cupboard.
I wanted to like this tea, I really did. I love Earl Grey and I love Roobioos, but this particular blend really didn't work for me. It was really heavy on the bergamont flavoring for my palette, and it tasted more like bergamont oil than the delicate flowers themselves. I really enjoyed the look and smell of this tea, but unfortunately when it came to actually drinking it, it was a bit overpowering.
Bbbb. I like Earl Grey tea. I tried this and love the flavor. It's nice to have this her. herbal version for an afternoon cup.
I love Earl Grey and I love rooibus...but this one, I somehow didn't love the combination quite so much.
I've switched over almost entirely to decaf teas and am also in the process of going off of sugar. This tea is perfect because it 1.) has such a complex flavor and isn't another boring taste accompaniment to a largely herbal tea arsenal and 2.) is so flavorful that it requires no sweetener for me to enjoy it.
