The vanilla flavor just seemed... off. Plus the rooibos always finds a way to sneak some tiny pieces into my cup.
Rich vanilla and sweet, lightly fruity Rooibos herb. Warm sugar cookies, mellow flavor, smooth finish. Yum!

Really loved this soothing tea. The tea is fine so the flavor releases easily, while not being overpowering. The subtle hint of vanilla is a perfect addition to start off a great morning. Highly recommend it!
A tea that's in my top five. It has a deep woodsy flavor and subtle smell of vanilla. Goes great with a couple spoons of sugar, agave syrup, honey or the amber sugar crystals.
Strange, unnatural flavor in this tea. Would not recommend.
One of my favorites! Hardly need to any sweetener, will be purchasing more.
It's hard to get past the cloying artificial smell. The tea is alright. Not sure if I will be able to finish the sample without mixing it into other tea.
Trying rooibos for the first time. This one wasnt my favorite.
While I'm not usually the biggest fan of red rooibos, this tea was nice with the addition of the vanilla to it.
Good vanilla taste without a nasty after taste. Enjoyable anytime of the day.
Oh man, I love vanilla teas, and this one is perfect. Sometimes I like to mix it with a little peppermint or earl grey, but it's wonderful on its own.
the best of the flavored rooibos. . I use teas bags.
Rooibos is just great on its own, and I'm not sure the inclusion of vanilla has really added much to the tea. Honeybush vanilla seems much more flavorful to me.
Very sweet. I found myself picking this last when it came for tea time.
Have been drinking this for breakfast (with fresh grated ginger) for years now - my all time favorite and filled with antioxidants. Doesn't get better than this.
A very nice afternoon tea in my office. Fragrant. Strong taste, but smooth.
This is one of my all time favorite teas. Full flavored and great on it's own, I often add it to black breakfast tea to soften it and give it a suggestion of vanilla. Also it makes a wonderful afternoon tea without the caffeine and I love it iced in the summer. So many uses for this versatile tea!
Has a very sharp, medicinal smell while in bag. Smell made me decide to brew it at 212 degrees for 4 minutes rather than the 5 minutes the package suggests. While brewing, smell isn't quite as sharp or medicinal, but still not that good. Smell improved after brewing finished. Taste ended up okay - not particularly good, but not bad. Vanilla tastes almost artificial.
I'm not a huge fan of this by itself but this was great with almond milk.
I am relativley new to loose tea, and this was one of my first purchases. I impulsively bought 16oz of it and I am very glad that I did. With a touch of milk and very very small amount of sugar, this tea has become a daily staple. In addition to its great taste, I have noticed several health benifets. Usually, I am skeptical about the long lists of benifets from tea, but when I started drinking this tea, I had acne. Now it has almost all cleared up. It one point, I stopped drinking the tea for a while and it came back. This tea is amazing and I will definatley buy more of it in addition to other variations of rooibus.
Had a nice sugar-cookie taste to it, and was very nice overall.
This is one of my favorites. I love the vanilla flavor which is a great way to start the day!
The first tea out of the variety that I ordered, this tea was fantastic! The smell of the tea when I opened the bag reminded me of warm sugar cookies, just as promised! The taste is very mellow for being such a dark tea, and the tannins don't leave any kind of bitter after-taste. It's a great tea for dessert, or even for waking up in the morning.
This tea has a very floral bouquet like a nice honey. It makes a nice dessert tea IMO. This tea will be a staple in my pantry.
I love the smell and taste of this tea. Very warm and reminds me of a cigar shop. One of my favorites, try it with the rooibos cinnamon apple tea!
A little better than the plain rooibos, but the vanilla only slightly covers up the medicine taste. Warm might be a little better than cold.
A bit sweet for me for everyday. I drink all of my tea unsweetened so this tasted pretty sweet. It's something I drink in the afternoons once in a while.
My family's favorite! I get this by the 16 oz., brew about a whole pitcher and then put it in the fridge. It's our go-to daily drink. Because there's no caffeine we can drink it any time and it tastes so good we don't even need sugar.
This is a great red tea with vanilla, as it is the name of the tea...delicious with milk or cream, brings out the vanilla.
Nice flavor. Naturally sweet. Need to be in the mood for a rooibos, but when I am this is a nice one to go to.
I had a cup of this tonight as I needed something with which to unwind. It brews up to a rich red color and the vanilla notes are very nice. They are strong enough to be noticed yet they don't overpower. I found it naturally sweet and didn't feel the need to add any sweetener.
Love it! Soothing and lovely. I adore this rooibos. It is sometimes like a dessert. Other times it is a balm when one is stressed. Totally delicious. I always drink it white.
I love this tea. I have been looking for a cheaper alternative to the red tea lattes at chain stores, and this fit what I was looking for perfectly.
Very enjoyable unique taste. I can't put my finger on what I enjoy about the flavor but I love drinking it as a wind down at night.
LOOOOVVVVEEEEE rooibos vanilla! The smell reminds me of sugar cookies.
This tea has an interesting taste, kind of like the good smell from grandpa's old wood pipe. But I like that it's caffeine free.
This is probably my favorite tea I've ordered, it's calming as has just the right pint of a vanilla flavor. This tea is great.
By far one of my favorite teas. I keep this on my shelf as a staple. A little honey for sweetener and this tea is incredible. The smell is amazing too. I highly recommend this tea.
this tea is perfect for my wife. She loves (as do I) the soft aroma it produces and the flavor is amazing as well.
You must like both Rooibos and Vanilla if you hope to like this tea, but if both hit the spot than this one is a winner. This is the perfect decaf tea for a winter evening: heavy enough and spicy enough to add a touch of cream, but it won't keep you awake at night.
The tea has a very powerful vanilla smell, but is very warm and sweet without the vanilla being too overpowering. Great by itself or with a small amount of milk.
What can I say...I just love Vanilla tea and this is one of the best of had. It smells delicious and tastes even better!
This is my go to Rooibos tea. It natural sweetness of Rooibos is balanced with the smoothness of vanilla. Add a little sugar if you want.
Good but liked the rooibos vanilla chai much better.
I love this tea, and love to add it to other herbals for a nice calming hint of vanilla. Yum.
It's a very pleasant blend of rooibos and vanilla. Great for a nice cup of tea in the evening.
This is my favorite tea! Period. It's a super blend.
One of my personal favorites! I love this tea in the afternoon...very satisfying mid day treat and really great vanilla flavor.
A nice natural tasting vanilla rooibos, good for any time of day.
Basically delicious. The vanilla is a step up from plain ice cream level. it does bring an olfactory sense of vanilla bean.
MY favorite!! if you are looking for an alternative to black tea or green and you like to drink your tea like the English (sugar and milk) then this is the one!!
