Review of Rooibos Tea

A run-of-the-mill teabag rooibos. This is perhaps slightly above-average quality for a tea bag. Flavor is somewhat flat, aroma is not terribly complex. In my opinion, if you want superior-quality rooibos in a tea bag that is also fair-trade certified, go with Equal Exchange's pyramid bags.
I was disappointed that I was unable to find any information on the Equo brand per se; the old Equo website redirects to Serrv with no discussion of the history or identity of this particular brand.
Reasonably priced given its organic and fair trade status, but not necessarily best value for flavor.
