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

I was worried about this tea being too sweet, especially once I smelled it. It smells vaguely like pipe tobacco, which is a lovely smell to me, and the vanilla note is very clear even in the smell. However, I was impressed once again once I took the first sip. This tea has the essence of a warm vanilla cookie without being overpoweringly sweet.
This tea was pleasant, light, and required very little sweetening since it is naturally sweet. While vanilla is the primary flavor, there were also fruity notes. I prefer honey with this blend, especially on a sunny afternoon.
Artificial vanilla aroma and taste. would not buy again.
This tea has been my favorite for the past few years and remains so. The strong vanilla flavor really adds a lot to this rooibos tea.
This one smelled like my grandfather's pipe tobacco in the packet, but that's not a bad thing. The mild vanilla flavor complements the rooibos well, and this one is another I didn't need to sweeten. I found it comforting after a long day.
This tea has a very strong vanilla flavor accentuated by the flavor of the rooibos. It's extremely smooth and a great, relaxing way to end the night.
Absolutely divine! The smell is better than Christmas - full, smooth, and sweet, but not sickeningly so, with delicious vanilla overtones. I have never had Rooibos before, and I am hooked. Black teas and even some herbals keep me awake at night, but this one right before bed is like a cup of dreamy hot chocolate, only more refreshing and soothing. Needs no sugar, no cream, nothing but a warm cup and a good book. The perfect ending to a stressful day.
I am really really not fond of this tea. I steeped it and added cream and sugar, took one sip, and dumped it out. I gave it to a few friends, but there's just something about the red rooibos that I do not like.
Vanilla Rooibos is a good one, I think the vanilla in it is a bit weak, so I mix it with honeybush for more flavor.
Very, very impressed with this tea. I believe vanilla is the best accompaniment to rooibos.
I've only tried it as iced so far, but it works really well as such. I like mixing it with fruit teas like blueberry or blood orange. Most excellent.
This Rooibos is a 4 star hot but 5 star iced. A cup chilled overnight is great in the morning with no sweeteners necessary. The chill seems to step up the vanilla flavor.
This tea is absolutely AMAZING. Somewhat light and sweet flavor, but a really good flavor. It's my favorite nighttime tea, and does very well if steeped more than once.
This tea is great on its own or mixed with other teas. The vanilla taste is there and does not taste chemical like syrups often do. I love mixing this with either blood orange or ceylon sonata.
I love the creaminess that this tea naturally has. The fruity first sip is like a warm tar and the vanilla leaves the softest after taste. Everything about this tea is like a little treat.
This is a tea that is very easy to enjoy.
Nice vanilla taste, though a little weak and underwhelming on its own. However, it is very smooth and would make a good base or mixer for other flavors.
I'm enjoying this tea right now and have no complaints about it.
I like this tea because the taste is smooth and it is great for relaxing after a long day. :)
Very good rooibos, light on the vanilla flavor but definitely there.
this is my new favorite tea, i've had it for a week and i'm already almost out! will definitely be ordering again.
I really enjoyed this tea. Vanilla teas often have a very artificial taste to them, but this vanilla rooibos tasted absolutely authentic. It also had just a touch of spice, leading to a really full, lovely flavor.
This is one of my favorite go-to teas. This tea is very sweet and the smells are just divine.
very mellow and rich. I love drinking this at night before bed.
Lovely vanilla flavor. Great on its own as a decaf hot beverage option, but what I really like to do is mix in a bit with other teas, like white blueberry or white peach, to add a little vanilla flavor to it.
I'd been curous about rooibos tea, so I decided to start with this one. I really enjoyed it!
Love this tea. Its definitely got the vanilla in it but not too much. Also I like the flavor of rooibos. I can see why some people decribe it as a tabacco flavor but it is just a very nice rish flavor, especially when accented with the vanilla. Probably a good tea for someone new to tea.
OK taste, kind of rooty. I tried it as an iced tea, but it's not for me.
Since I really enjoy straight rooibos and tend to lean away from flavored varieties (unless I'm playing with them on purpose), I didn't expect to be terribly fond of this tea. I stand corrected - I am TERRIBLY FOND of this tea. It is somehow like drinking shortbread cookies and I have no idea how, but I love it. A lot.
Got a free sample of this in my last order - it's delicious! I love that it's caffeine free, perfect for the evening, and the vanilla flavor isn't overpowering. Doesn't need sweetener, just a bit of milk. Love it!
Great tea -- I love the vanilla flavor and I'm always a fan of rooibos.
An okay tea. I never found rooibos to have that great of a flavor, but sometimes it can be a decent cup with a pinch of sugar.
Having a strong sweet tooth, this tea is perfect for me. It's smooth and sweet, with just the right amount of vanilla flavoring. Perfect.
This was a really delicious tea! I was afraid I wouldn't like it after trying to blend it with another tea and not enjoying the result but it turned out very good on its own. A little sweet and warm with that rooibos taste I love, simple but perfect as it is. I liked it straight up or with honey and lemon
My boyfriend and I absolutely LOVE this tea. I am big on sweetening every tea I drink but the vanilla nodes make it unnecessary to even glance over at the sugar bowl. Will definitely be ordering this again!
This rooibos vanilla is a nice tea, but I find it just a little boring alone. It is very nice to have on hand though to add to other teas. A favorite is to add to the rooibos earl grey.
I like this a lot and I don't usually like rooibos tea.
Absolutely delicious with a bit of milk and honey, makes a wonderful after dinner cup of tea.
Rooibos has been my favorite kind of tea since I discovered it, and the vanilla compliments its natural sweetness perfectly. I usually drink it with milk and a hint of sugar, but it's also quite nice on its own, hot or cold.
Probably the best vanilla tea I've ever had. It also blended really nicely with the Rooibos Tropics and the Earl Grey Lavender and Moonlight teas.
My favorite tea for late afternoon or evening. The directions say 1 tsp per cup. I use 1 1/2 teaspoons per cup. It's delicious plain or even better with a little almond milk.
Tastes good. The sales person in Naperville store recommended rooibos tea to help with sinus issue I still waiting for relief.
I'm a little disappointed with this tea. It is very weak. I won't order it again.
This was my first rooibos since a negative experience with Teavana's peach rooibos a few years ago. This is SO much better. The vanilla flavor is strong but not unnatural-tasting, and the rooibos flavor comes through and I can really appreciate it.
Good red tea. I use it as a base for my tea combinations.
This is a terrific rooibos that is subtly sweet, no need to add sweetener. I make it iced, and it is delicious!
This herbal tea has a strong scent that is reminiscent of pipe tobacco. The tea has a great mouthfeel and a unique flavor. This is certainly worth a try!
almost too much vanilla for me...
and i love vanilla
I often drink this tea in the late evenings because it is mild and won't keep me up at night. The vanilla flavor is pleasant, but the tea as a whole isn't anything to write home about.
This is a good flavorful rooibos. It has a vanilla flavor but also somewhat has a tobacco flavor as well. I prefer the honeybush vanilla to this.
This is a very nice cup of rooibos, the vanilla is a nice hint and not overpowering, wonderful mix with equal parts of blood orange!
