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

The smell is almost overwhelming and does not represent the taste of this tea in my humble opinion. It has a very strong, almost medicine-like odor but the taste is very warm and enjoyable. Despite the smell, I will probably purchase again in the future.
All time favorite tea. I try my best to stay away from caffeine. This tea is absolutely wonderful. (Coming from a coffee lover), this tea brews a dark red and it is a very good coffee substitute. I brew it for about 7 minutes and drink it black.
OH my goodness this was an amazing tea! It had a nice and smooth flavor going in then a creamy vanilla aftertaste. I would totally get this again!
After just one cup of this tea, I ordered the giant bag. It was that good. Versatile, no caffeine to keep you awake, and mix-able with other tea!
When you open the bag it really does smell like a cookie! The sweetness is subtle too. My only complaint is that the leaves in my bag were so tiny that they fell through the strainers I use.
It's a vanilla tea. It didn't have as much flavor as I would have liked, but that's just personal preference. It smelled wonderful.
Not my favorite but with a dash of honey it was rather enjoyable.
Very pleasant, smooth tea. Enjoyable! Definitely a nice hint of vanilla.
Not a huge vanilla fan, but tried it because it's decaf and had a pretty high rating. Nice warm vanilla flavor, definitely cookie-like. Haven't tried it with milk yet, but a little milk might be very good.
The vanilla flavoring was good, but unfortunately I simply do not like Rooibos. It has a grasslike yet non-vegetal taste that produces a cringing sensation in my mouth.
This is a good tea, and weirdly I found it tasted better when it got a little colder- then I could definitely taste the 'cookie' flavor
I was really kind of disappointed with this tea. I love rooibos and was really excited to try it. The vanilla was very blah, I kind of wondered if there was actually any in it at all. Not a bad cup, but won't buy this one again.
Taken with sugar, this is a perfect, round vanilla tea, great on it's own or in a blend.
I am still not completely sure how I feel about this. when still hot, I like it quite a bit. Nice flavor, lightly vanilla. But as it cools it gets a bit earthy for my taste.
This tea is light and deliciously calming. Really good.
I have always adored rooibos vanilla tea, and the quality of Adagio's loose leaf variety reminds me just how much I do!
This tea has a wonderful vanilla smell. Pleasantly sweet. I need to try this again with a better tea strainer though, since the one at my parent's house has really big holes that let some of the rooibos fall out into the cup.
Interesting flavor. It doesn't leave a bitter aftertaste, which is nice. It's also very smooth.
Just what I'd hoped for! There's just enough vanilla that it's not overpowering. Delicious!
This is one of my all time favorite teas, I love to enjoy it at night with some cream while reading a good book. While it is nice and strong alone I like the smoother taste of the vanilla with milk.
Exactly enough vanilla flavor to be prominent without being overwhelming. I can't say it tastes like cookies, but it is both sweet and slightly earthy. Delicious.
Love, love, love this tea. This tea is by far one of my favorites! It is rich and creamy with a hint of sweetness. I can drink this tea all day. So delicious.
I did not enjoy this tea at all. It tasted as though I had mixed vanilla extract into water.
This is the first rooibos tea that I've tried, and I am very pleased. The tea has a nice herbal feel to it, and the rooibos has a very distinct tea that I want to try with other flavors! The vanilla is soft, and this is a tea that I can drink pretty much anytime. However, it is exceptionally good for when I have a headache or need to calm down a bit :) Give it a shot!
A wonderful, sweet, strongly vanilla flavored tea. It is great hot, but AMAZING iced! It tastes like vanilla extract without that awful fumey alcohol flavor!! It's definitely becoming a regular in my teas!!
I like this rooibos vanilla, but it's not as strong as my favorite rooibos. Seems like I needed more to make the perfect cup. It's still really good and great for mixing with other flavors.
There is a nice sweetness to the tea without being overpowering and sickly sweet. Added a bit of honey with just a small dash of almond milk.
I tried Rooibos Vanilla with another brand when I was in NYC a few weeks ago, and realized I paid too much for such a small amount of it. I got a sample to tide me over. it's apparently good for headaches, which I'm prone to getting, and it tastes amazing. Definitely a favorite.
I really enjoy the flavor of this tea. I only had one issue with this tea, and that was in the brewing. The issue was entirely my fault, and all due to a newbie error in loose leaf teas. I didn't realize that the tea was too small to be put into my mesh tea ball. So while the tea was steeping quite a few of the leaves found their way out of the ball and into the tea. I tried to strain it through a coffee filter and it was a big mess. The bit of the tea I managed to save was absolutely delicious though! Very nice caramel notes.
I'm not sure about this tea. it's kind of weird and doesn't taste like vanilla to me
Im a first timer for loose leaf teas, but this was pretty tasty. Also the smell when I opened the bag was amazing~! I will for sure be buying this again!
A nice, soft vanilla taste. Like a warm hug. You need to watch your brewing time, however.
Love this. Just like the rooibos vanilla chai, it has great flavor without the spiciness.
This is possibly one of my favorite teas of all time!
Not AS much vanilla flavor as I would have liked, but it's still a nice mixer if you're working with roobios blends. The base rooibos flavor WILL overpower the vanilla if nothing else you're mixing has vanilla notes, though.
Rooibos is really nice to have when you don't feel like timing your tea precisely.
This tea has a sweet flavor to it. I like to add a little milk and sugar to cure my sweet tooth while I'm trying to relax.
Great! This helped me believe that red teas are better than blacks for blending flavors. It goes so naturally with the vanilla.
this and the caramel were a great buy and good enough where I will be buying again
Oh, yeah. Now this is becoming one of my preferred go-to teas for sipping late at night. Rooibos has this lovely rusty color to it, and has a unique sweet smell that I've not found with any other types of teas. I would call this tea 'sweet' even on its own, unsweetened. I typically pour a bit of cream and sugar (or even honey which complements the favors nicely) in mine, but I've had it straight and it's just as good--just depends on my mood. And of course it has no caffeine so it's a perfect tea for settling in at night.
I'm pretty sure that I am alone in this, but the smell in the bag reminded me of Robitussin, although I really can't say why. That being said, thankfully it doesn't taste like that at all. I think I like it better for blends, but this tea was still pretty good on its own. I love rooibos and this one tastes pretty good with the sweet flavor of vanilla backing it.
A good comforting tea that smells like a cookie and does not taste too strong. Good for blending to deliver a subtle vanilla flavour.
As always, Adagio's rooibos teas meet and surpass the high bar of taste testing. Even my little brother loves this one!
My husband and I love this tea. It is simple and sweet, perfect iced on hot summer nights or hot on cold winter ones.
This caffeine-free tea is perfect for any time of the day! The taste is subtly sweet and the natural vanilla flavor gets rid of the need for any additional sweetener. I like to add a little bit of milk and drink it hot.
Yummy and calming tea, great at nighttime as there isn't caffeine.
Everyone in the family that tried it, liked it. I am looking forward to using this in a Dr. Pepper inspired tea and in other tea mixes. Not to mention drinking it as is.
It's not as good as other vanilla teas, but it does have a nice flavor. It works best in blends, I think, but it can certainly be taken alone.
This is one of my favorites for mellowing out. It has a soft soothe flavor that's great for relaxing.
i think this is my new favorite tea. it was a wonderful vanilla flavor for an herbal tea.
