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

Rooibos Vanilla is by far my favorite tea I've tried from Adagio so far (I've tried about a dozen by now). It has a wonderful warm, earthy, slightly sweet flavor that is not overpowering. I love that it is caffeine free as well. One thing to take note of is how SMALL the leaves of this tea are. Make sure that you have an infuser that has very tiny holes so that you aren't drinking all the leaves. I would highly recommend this tea to anyone
It has a nice fruity, vanilla flavor but not overpowering. Smells a little like cherry tobacco. A little raw honey gives it a nice sweetness. Great to drink at night because of the lack of caffeine.
It was too woody, and not sweet enough. Glad I only got a sample.
I love the combination or rooibos with vanilla. This is a tea I turn to at any point in the day when I want a smooth, but full drinking experience. Really nice with a touch of almond milk and a dash of agave nectar, for a decadent treat.
I was really excited about this tea, but wow is it disappointing. I only get rooibos from this. No vanilla at all.
Smell: Buttery vanilla with something else that makes me think 'berries'.
Taste: It was a pleasant, general, tea. I didn't get any vanilla flavoring which was really disappointing as I'm still searching for my perfect vanilla tea.
Thoughts: Rooibos teas are very fine and so don't work well in tea infusers that have bigger holes. A lot of the tea particles end up in my drink. After I added a pack of Truvia, this was buttery and yummy. not quite vanilla, but still tasty.

Not generally a rooibos fan but the rooibos vanilla is certainly tasty. Not fake-tasting at all, but smooth and sweet.
I use this tea to mix with any of the other teas that I may not like that much. its basic
Not a fan. Smelled wonderful but had a definite aftertaste.
A very 'warm' tea, no matter the temperature. Relaxing and delicious. Definitely going to try to keep it around.
A staple for me. Warm, mild, and tasty. Super great to mix in with berries or caramel or basically any other tea
Perfect blend and I can drink it right before bed and still sleep!
This tea was really really really really really yummy
I love rooibos to begin with. It has to be my favorite herbal tea out there. The vanilla goes great with the rooibos. I know I will be ordering this again!
Perfect for any rooibos lover, and perfect for any lover of vanilla. This tea is wonderful as an afternoon or evening treat with a touch of sugar and cream.
VERY medicinal smelling. Tasted the way it smelled. Not enjoyable at all. Would not recommend.
I tried this as an alternative to chamomile-based tea for nighttime. It has a nice flavor although the vanilla is subtle.
This is a very good rooibos tea, very warm with the vanilla added.
This is such a comforting blend. It's wonderful no matter how I've brewed it: plain, with or without milk or soy, with or without sugar or stevia, or even blended with a minty or fruity herbal. Awesome tea!
Very nice vanilla tea. The perfect amount of sweet and bitter.
I tried this tea iced first, and then made it hot. I think I prefer it iced, but I really love it either way. From the smell, I didn't think I would like the vanilla flavor, but it is actually a very nice balance.
Good herbal tea. I drink this right before bed time. Its a different kind of herbal tea I've never had before.
I still like the rooibos almond better, but this tea is still wonderful. Makes me feel so calm and relaxed. I do wish the vanilla was a tad stronger but maybe next time I will just add a little more tea or let it seep a little longer and see if that helps. Still wonderful though!
great alone or with dried fruit pieces or other teas mixed. I like that its very forgiving if over or under steeped.
I love the smoothness of this tea. I enjoy a a cup in the evening while I am reading or watching tv.
Smooth, light flavor - what really pulls you in is the fragrance. You just know it's going to taste great.
Is good but leaves tiny bit sin the tea. Does not strain very well
I think I like the rooibos vanilla chai a little bit more, but this is a great after dinner tea if you want something a little sweet but don't actually want to eat dessert.
I like vanilla, and I recently found out I like rooibos, so this tea is a winner in my book. It's almost sweet on its own, but I prefer it with a little almond milk. Vanilla plays well with the rooibos, but definitely stands out.
My most favorite tea ever. It's great when I need something to soothe my throat, or if I just want to curl up with a good book and have something to drink while doing so.
This is a lighter tea, with sweet vanilla scent and taste.
It's a wonderfully fragrant tea, with a smell and taste somewhere between sugar cookies and honey. It's a very smooth taste as well.
I didn't care for this. I've tried rooibos earl grey too. Didn't care for it either. Maybe I'm not a rooibos type gal.
I had high hopes for this tea, but it wasn't all that I had hoped for. I much preferred the green rooibos blueberry.
I can't think of a better word than 'lovely' to describe this tea! It's exactly what I was looking for. Nice and smooth, leaves a warm and sweet aftertaste. I highly recommend for both rooibos lovers and those looking for a non-caffeinated, non-boring tea!
I'm not a huge fan of vanilla things, but I really loved this.
what a great option for an evening tea after a long day if I don't want to do a black tea!
Have been looking for a vanilla tasting tea. I didn't quite find it in this tea. It is good but still not exactly what I was looking for. I did find what I was looking for in the decaf vanilla. I love that tea.
Excellent vanilla Rooibos. Not overwhelming or sweet.
I mix this with a lot of the other teas that need a hint of vanilla
Love the mellow flavor - great afternoon pick me upper.
This is a good caffeine free tea that tastes good blended with the rooibos almond.
Nice vanilla flavor, but I don't think I like it on it's own. Mixed it with the blood orange and it made the blood orange taste better in my opinion. I'll try mixing it with the caramel I have and see how that works.
Favorite tea for the afternoon. Just enough sweet to satisfy any afternoon urges.
I've never had rooibos tea before, and this was not a good introduction. When I opened the packet, it smelled strongly of tobacco drying in a barn, dusty and spicy. Which is fine, I grew up smelling that in the fall, but it's not something I want to *drink*. Even with the vanilla, and eventually, a LOT of sugar, I couldn't finish the cup. I know it's just personal preference, because I have a friend who absolutely loves this tea, it's just not for me.
I liked this one one when I wanted something smooth and creamy in taste.
Very nice flavor. Vanilla is not overpowering and is very subtle and smooth drinking. A great way to start the day
Not one of my favorites a little to strong for me
One of the best teas I have found on here. Not too sweet but just enough vanilla to let you know it's there.
I tired honeybush before trying this tea. Its just okay. Its has a smooth and silkyness taste from the vanilla, but I think I prefer honeybush
