Rich vanilla and sweet, lightly fruity Rooibos herb. Warm sugar cookies, mellow flavor, smooth finish. Yum!

I’m not a great one for strongly flavored teas meaning not just the straight Tea is this one is pretty good! The vanilla is a little stronger than I thought it would be but still taste The red rooibos without caffeine you can drink it before bed! To be honest it won’t become one of my regulars but a good thing to have on hand!
It was almost tolerable after adding a heaping amount of sugar, but ultimately, this ended up down the drain. Still not a fan of red Rooibos teas, and the vanilla was overpowered by it. Not for me.
This is a delicious version of Rooibos tea, which I enjoy drinking for its health benefits. There is just enough vanilla in this tea to enhance the Rooibos. Plus I do not have to add any sugar or honey to this one. I just love it!
Solid flavor. I prefer the hazelnut and banana myself but this was pleasant. It had a smoky flavor. Sugar and cream made it tasty
For a rooibos tea it wasn't bad (I don't usually like rooibos teas). A light vanilla flavor and generally okay tea. I just probably wouldn't get it again based on my tea preferences. I bet it would be good for blending though.
Earthy and sweet, this rooibos is balanced and avoids the medicinal quality of some I've tried. A very comforting cup, especially with a splash of cream.
I'm not typically a fan of vanilla in my tea. It has an overwhelming flavor and can often taste very artificial. This tea was a pleasant surprise. While I did not like it enough to purchase again, I was happy with the more subtle flavor and did finish the whole cup.
admittedly i'm not a big fan of rooibos tea and this one didn't change my thoughts toward it. The vanilla makes this overly sweet, i feel like i just drank a cup of cheap vanilla frosting.
A nice balance between vanilla and rooibos. Love it a lot
A touch of sugar and some steamed milk made this a perfect tea latte to relax with this afternoon.
I'm not a rooibos drinker. It's ok, but I won't buy more.
Subtle and smooth, but unremarkable. I like the other more flavorful rooibos on here more.
Sadly it doesn’t wow me. It tastes very much like other rooibos teas. The vanilla is present but unfortunately it doesn’t work well with the rooibos tea. It is not woefully unpleasant but not something I would actively seek out.
It’s just okay, in my opinion. But I’m also not a huge fan of rooibos. I just can’t seem to develop a liking for it.
Delicious and smooth, perfect with a little bit of sweetener in order to bring out the vanilla flavors. It would make an excellent dessert tea!
Earthy sweet vanilla flavor. Just a touch of vanilla powder and hazelnut creamer made it smoother. Would be a nice base for blending in other flavors.
For the majority of flavored rooibos, the rooibos completely overwhelms any flavoring. Surprisingly, the vanilla flavoring was detectable in this one. It made the rooibos taste sweet, but the aftertaste was awful. There was something very off-putting about it. Maybe the artificial vanilla?
For a single flavor this is nice. Vanilla is nice but not overpowering, and the rooibos marries well with it. This is nice as a single tea, or I can see it mixing well with some other teas.
I've never tried rooibos tea before, but I'd heard good things and wanted to give it a go. I decided to go with the vanilla since that seemed like a good, safe starting point, and I was not disappointed! Smooth, sweet, and slightly spicy in a way that perfectly compliments the vanilla. Definitely a new favorite, for sure.
Love this tea! I purchased several bags since this past November and haven’t tired of it the this earthy, smokey, vanilla tea. It may be a little strong for some - like a smooth cigar or toasty stout/porter — but if that’s your jam then this tea is a proper choice anytime of day. I steep it longer than recommended for added depth.
The vanilla adds a little sweetness to the rooibos. Very good tea.
One of my favorites! It is sweet, almost like a cookie, but without all the sweeteners.
One of my favorites, sweet aroma and creamy tasting.
This is a great soothing tea! It's sweeter than I expected but I still really enjoy it.
Rooibos Vanilla is the tea that got me to drink tea. :) I love it. The smell alone relaxes me, I can drink cup after cup, and I do not need cream or sugar (though I do enjoy them occasionally, usually when I'm having scones as well).
This rooibos can get, in my opinion, a bit bitter if brewed at the recommended 212°F, or with the full recommended amount, or if left to brew too long. I had none of these issues with my previous rooibos, but it also cannot compare to how amazing this tastes when brewed the way I like it: about half the recommended tea per cup, at 200°F, steeped for 3 minutes.
You should also know that this is a *very* fine tea. The picture above the description was probably taken with a microscope. (I'm only half kidding.) It is *very* difficult to find a stainless steeper that does not result in tiny bits of the tea (essentially, splinters) floating in your cup. An unwitting sip can result in a very scratchy throat. A reusable cloth bag is a better alternative.
This is a perfect after work tea. Very mellow. Love the smell.
I received this as part of the tea of the month club. I had to have more.
Nothing special, really it is on the bland side with nothing to draw me back.
This is a delicious tea that will be enjoyed many times. Also, recommend with steamed milk and honey.
This tea was mellow with the vanilla flavor and aroma coming through perfectly. Delicious !
I thought I'd like it a little more since I usually like vanilla teas, but this was a little too bland for me, personally. I did enjoy it, but I don't think I'll be purchasing it again.
My favourite evening tea. The perfect thing to drink when you are trying not to raid the pantry for chocolate.
I really enjoy this tea, but the rooibos is a bit strong and takes over the vanilla taste. I will finish my sample but probably won’t reorder on regular basis.
A great rooibos tea for when you don’t want something with caffeine.
I think this is my favorite Adagio tea! So smooth and creamy.
I love this. It’s a delicious, well-rounded flavor, good for a dessert tea. I love that I can drink it late in the day and not worry about caffeine.
So good! So far, one of my 'go to' teas for the evening.
A delicious Rooibos. I like it even more than the Marriage Frères rouge bourbon.
Now a favorite non-caffeinated tea, this was discovered in the Advent tea calendar.
Nice, smooth taste. My son loves this tea! Calming.
This is my go to tea. Sometimes I just drink it by itself and sometimes mix it with other spices to get a wonderful blend. Its just such a wonderful rich tea with a mild sweetness and true vanilla note that carries through. I have been drinking and ordering this one for years. One of my favorites.
Vanilla is my favorite flavor, and I can drink this before bedtime.
What a fragrant and delectable tea this is! I highly recommend cold brewing this tea as well for a hot day as the vanilla notes become intensified.
A gentle flavor profile that is great before bed with a bit of cream.
I was cautious about this tea. I've tried rooibos mixed with honeybush that was supposed to taste like vanilla, and I hated it. I've paired this with fruity teas like Dewey Cherry, Blood Orange, and Pina Colada, and loved each cup.
Amazing vanilla flavor. Very relaxing for a stressful day
I really disliked this tea. I haven't had Rooibos in years. This one tasted like vanilla tobacco that should be smoked in a pipe. Not pleasant at all.
Boyfriends favorite tea. Drinks it anytime of the day but especially to relax. Not really my tea but i know he would give it 5 stars. Not really my flavor of tea not sure if its the vanilla flavor or the rooibos because this is my first rooibos tea. He describes it as warm and comforting and that just the smell of it helps him to relax. He has suggested that this is the tea he always would like to have handy to drink.
Received this as a sample. Wow! Such a nice, natural vanilla bean flavor. A nice desert tea at night. Cream and sugar/stevia. I will be buying more when the sample runs out.
I'm not so crazy about Rooibos teas, but this one really was a good, enjoyable tea. Not overpowering vanilla, but just right and relaxing.
