First time trying rooibos. Really liked it! Best mixed with other teas.
Rooibos, sometimes known as "Red Tea" (although not from the actual tea bush), is an herb that grows only in South Africa. Our rooibos is slightly fruity and smooth with a mild, herbal texture. Very forgiving - won't over-steep.

First time trying rooibos. Really liked it! Best mixed with other teas.
Rooibos is my absolute favorite tea; it's flavorful and nutty with a bit of sweetness.This blend is both robust AND remarkably smooth. I like do long steeps to really enhance the richness.
I love the rich & deep flavor of this Rooibos. I try not to drink that much caffeine, but I still want a rich flavor. This Rooibos is perfect for that. It is forgiving as far as over-steeping. I like this better than the vanilla version, which masks some of the rooibos flavor.
This is my husbands favorite! I was introduced to Rooibos by a friend from Ghana! I am so glad that it is easier to get now.
I loved the flavor but it is too stimulating even though a herbal tea
Love this tea, especially since I'm trying to limit my caffeine intake as it has been messing with my sleep pattern.
I adore rooibos tea. This one in particular is smooth and refreshing with a light vanilla and nutty undertones.
I'm probably just not a red tea person, but I couldn't get past the smell. It smelled like green olives, which is probably what it's supposed to smell like. It tasted fine.
Good quality rooibos smooth and earthy this is a great addition to have with other teas.
Delightful! One of my go to teas. Would recommend.
This is a great option for someone like me who is regularly guilty of drinking caffeine late into the day. The smell is very medicinal but I liked the taste. Will probably try out one of the flavored versions next
Flushed my kidneys beyond belief. Smell is very strong kinda like a red wine leathery scent but what this does for the body is amazing.
Love this rooibos tea, I brew it with a small amount of almond tea and the combined flavors are very tasty and comforting
Classic rooibos, good iced or hot. Nothing fancy, but popular for a reason.
This Tea has always been my favorite. I add other flavor with i just get the plain Rooibos. Don't be afraid to experiment.
Nice and mild- but nothing special on it's own. Good to blend with other teas.
This is a very solid every day rooibos and I use it every day but oven in a mix with an aromatic rooibos. On it's own it's a very solid everyday rooibos, not too sweet and with a decent level of taste. I would not rate it the best rooibos I ever had but solid enough to be my daily driver.
I love the feeling I get when drinking rooibos. I prefer regular over green.
I really like this Rooibos tea, I find it harder and harder to find plain Rooibos locals where I live, and I'm happy I have found this one.
I really didn't care for this oxidized rooibos, especially in comparison to the green rooibos, for the exact reasons why my partner likes it so much - the intense, concentrated pine-citrus oil flavor and medicinal aroma. If you like red rooibos, though, this is a great red rooibos tea.
Good ol rooibos -- a great base for adding things for a bedtime tea.
Smoother than other rooibos I've had. Refreshing when iced.
Love this when I have had enough caffine. Nice hearty tea that you can add milk or not. Works hot and cold and is great with local honey.
Very good, plain and simple rooibos. Tastes great with cream and a little sugar.
It tastes like medicine, and I definitely would not personally purchase it again. My mother in law says it's alright though
Love the red tea in the morning with breakfast! Its the best
You can’t go wrong with rooibos. It can’t overstep and has the nice nutty flavor you’d expect.
Not my favorite. Has a weird taste to it may just not be for me.
Great quality, smooth flavor and a good basic decaf tea.
This was a decent tea -- to me, it s a staple and it s nice to have this as a basic shelf tea, but it wasn t above and beyond~ Good, but not great.
This is the first time I've had this tea and my daughter and I love it. We brew a pot in the evening to share and this is perfect! What is left I use for iced tea the next morning. We've been mixing it with Honeybush also and loving it. Ready to place a big order so we don't run out.
You can’t go wrong here. I love including rooibos w/ by gunpowder green or golden flower oolong. A small teaspoon goes a long way in terms of its health benefits.
Great Rooibos. Nice earthy yet sweet flavor. I prefer Rooibos without added flavors - I want it to stand on its own. (And sometimes 'plain' Rooibos can be sickly/unpleasant, not this one)! Nota Bene, the actual particles are quite small, and some 'dust' will escape anything but the finest strainer/bag.
Excellent tea. Better then any of the flavored rooibos.
Solid room is. Lightly sweet, medium bodied, a clean and toasty taste.
Love this tea as an alternative to those with caffeine. Excellent hot or iced, plain, or with a little honey.
Nothing special about this rooibos. Just your standard rooibos for a good price.
This is my go to evening tea. Can’t say anything bad about it. I always have a big bag in the house.
This is can have a robust flavor depending on the amount of tea and how long it steeps. I like its flavorful, warm taste.
Best quality Rooibos I've found. A little tangy and a little earthy
My favorite decaf. Very flavorful. The perfect tea for when it's too late for caffeine.
Nutty, sweet, and strong without the bitterness of black tea. It's hard to describe the taste of rooibos since it's distinctly different from other herbal tea's but the smell is heavenly. That's mostly what you're getting out of this tea with just a mild aftertaste that's more phantom-like than concrete. As someone with a strong sweet tooth I love to have a cup of this to curb any late-night snacking.
Love Rooibos tea. This tea is a little sweet and fruity and very smooth.
Love this rooibus! Got it to provide for a South African visitor and wound up kind of drinking it all.
Yum!
This have a very weird taste that I can't describe. Maybe I am just not a fan of rooibos by itself.
My family loves it! They always asks me to buy the 16oz and bring it back to Malaysia when I go home and visit from the States.
Good rooibos to always keep on hand. Well-balanced. It has the classic rooibos wood and mild citrus/piney note to it. Great for using in blends, either as a base or an accent to something else.
I liked this but I don’t know if I would reach for it again if I had other choices. Planning on trying some of the flavored blends.
This tea is good hot but it is much better as an Iced Tea. It is smooth and a great everyday tea with a good robust flavor.
It’s roobios tea, simple as that. Good sweet flavor. Great base to add your own spices also, sprinkle cinnamon and clove for a chai flavor.
