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

This is one of my favorite flavors. It has a subtle vanilla flavor and isn't harmed when I forget about my tea and accidentally over brew it. It also tastes great iced. It works best with a really fine strainer because it is in tiny little pieces.
It is a weak blend that has almost a wood like flavor. By itself I was left wanting a little more, but the blend is great for mixing with others.
This tea is great if you mix it with other teas to give them a creamy sweet taste.
This wonderful tea is particularly fragrant. It is wonderful as an afternoon decaffeinated tea.
This tea taste like orange creamsicle, mixed with the Blood Orange Tea.
Bought this as a replacement for coffee and/or Pero. The rich and savory rooibos base made a decent transition, though a double strength brew was needed to act as a replacement for a robust flavored coffee. The vanilla was present without taking away from the rooibos flavor.
It smells delicious, but was far too fine/dusty to actually drink, as there were little tea bits floating around in the mug. Even my tea infuser with the smallest holes (which is made of a fine metal mesh) didn't stop this tea from escaping. Perhaps you could use some variety of cloth strainer/homemade tea bag? I would definitely not recommend getting this loose-leaf if you're not equipped to do that.
Mild, but solid vanilla flavor that doesn't get lost in the mix!
Love this tea, usually I'm afraid of red rooibos' tobaccoy flavor but this tea is so caramelly and sweet, like a nice little piece of cake! :)
SO. GOOD. In the bag it smells very sweet, and that translates well to the final brew. I didn't really need to add sugar at all. The vanilla flavor is just right. It's great as a mixer or on its own.
Good for a tea, but just meh for rooibos. If you want to have a good rooibos, go for the caramel variety. This is mostly scent rather than flavor.
I wasn't sure I would like this, but the vanilla works well. A good tea to relax with at bedtime.
Wonderful flavor. I enjoy this after a meal. mild vanilla taste.
been looking for a good rooibos vanilla since I had it in Australia and this one is great. Smooth clean and very satisfying.
Nice real vanilla flavor that doesn't overwhelm the rooibos.
I enjoyed this tea. The vanilla goes well with the smooth sweetness of the rooibos. I only wish the vanilla flavor was stronger.
It's like a nice warm hug in a cup, I have two almost every morning.
Not to my liking. Perhaps i am just not suited to rooibos tea.
I bought this tea for my sister who gets migraines from even the slightest amount of caffeine. She absolutely loves it and says it hasn't been giving her migraines so this tea truly is caffeine free!
Wow - this infusion is wonderful. The flavor is rich and earthy. Sweet on it's own but I like it with just a little honey. Great substitute for dessert when you're trying to count calories!
This is my favorite Rooibos of all time! It is now fast becoming my son's favorite as well! Enjoy.
Has a nice smokey vanilla to it. I like it plain but tastes great with a bit of sugar/milk.
This tastes good straight, but it really shines when I add milk. I could not believe how good it tastes by just adding milk. it's so delicious.
Delicious, sweet tea. The vanilla isn't overpowering, but it doesn't need sugar either. My only stipulation is that you'll either need a mesh infuser, or not mind leaves in your tea.
Excellent flavoring on a strong red rooibos base. The vanilla is a fantastic compliment without being overpowering. It also blends well with chai teas, caramel rooibos, and with plain blacks. I typically drink this one sweetened with milk.
Smooth and delicious. I had a rooibos vanilla in a Trader Joe's tea sampler that I fell in love with -- and this one is 10x better!
This tea is very flavorful. Not too overwhelming, but strong. One of my favorites.
Another tea I got for drinking in the evenings (no caffeine). It is simple, but lovely. If you like rooibos, you will probably enjoy this tea.
I've sheaths loved this flavour of tea. You have a good one.
A friend gave me a rooibos berry to try and I loved it so I decided to try this as a sample. It was great.
Love the taste! Was just a little sweet for me, but adding a little bit of lemon made it perfect. Will buy more for sure!
This tea is awesome. I loved the Starbuxks vanilla roobois but when they stopped making it I was searching for an alternative and this was a great tea to drink. This tea is one of my favorites. It is sweet enough not to need sweetner but I do like a little milk in it. It is yummy.
My favorite rooibos variant so far. It's also fantastic in blends.
Nice smooth vanilla flavor, drink alone or add with other favorites.
If you like rooibos teas and you like vanilla, you're in luck. This is a fantastic rooibos with a very true vanilla aroma and flavor. I drink my teas hot, but I think this has considerable potential in a glass with ice. It's not a go-to tea for me, but I was very happy to try a sample size, and I'll probably circle back for another in the future.
Rooibos is a healthy, flavorful tea that is caffeine-free. The vanilla flavor is excellent and not overpowering.
I've just begun drinking rooibos tea in the afternoons over the past year, and so far rooibos vanilla is easily my favorite. It has a wonderful aroma while brewing, and it produces a smooth flavor that is satisfying without being overwhelming. It makes for a great everyday tea.
This is a lovely little tea for winter weekend afternoons when you don't extra caffeine but you still want something warm and cozy.
I steep my tea in a french press. Fragrant and flavorful! Simple and pure! Love it!
This tea brings back a lot of childhood memories for me. My grandfather kept his vanilla pipe tobacco in an old oak desk. The nutty, woody flavor of this tea and it's heavy vanilla flavor remind me of the smell. With it being caffeine free, it's a wonderful way for me to kick back with some nostalgia right before bed. Honey or a sweet creamer are a nice addition if you prefer your tea sweet.
The vanilla adds a natural sweetness to the rooibos. With a spot of milk, it is latte-like. I like my rooibos strong, so I let it brew for a long time (10 min or more!) for full flavor.
As tasty as Rooibos Carmel but a little different. Also a great tea.
This isn't the first time I've had this tea and after I finish my 16 ozs I will be ordering some more. Great flavor! I love drinking it with a little bit of milk and honey.
Personally, I hated this tea. I didn't even make it through my first cup. Too sweet and honey-like. I like vanilla, but apparently not vanilla tea.
I like this one bunches. It is good iced or hot, and good combined with any of the nut rooibos flavors.
Delicious vanilla flavor! It is great hot or cold.
Excellent Tea.
Originally, I bought Rooibos tea in tea bags from the store. However, when I found this loose leaf tea online, I decided to try it.
I prepare this tea in the following manner:
(1) Spoon about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon into tea pot. (I use a Bodum Assam 34oz Tea Press which I bought online at Macys.com).
(2) Heat water in Hamilton Beach Electric Kettle (I find that my electric kettle heats water faster than my stove kettle).
(3) When ready, pour hot water into tea pot or tea press.
(4) After about 5 - 7 minutes, tea should be ready.
(5) For Ice Tea, let the tea steep until cool (which takes about 1 - 2 hours). When sufficiently cool, pour tea into a container that can be refrigerated. After sufficiently refrigerated, enjoy this delicious tea.
Smooth with subtle vanilla flavor. A yummy dessert tea no sweetener needed.
I love the flavor. the only bad thing I find loose rooibos tea hard to clean after brewing.
This is a very smooth tea. Subtle vanilla scent and flavor, not overpowering at all.
