A classic rooibos-vanilla blend with a strong presence of both rooibos and vanilla, and no other flavors.
There's a good balance of rooibos and vanilla, although I'd prefer a little less of the "cream flavoring"...this smelled a bit too much like cream soda for me. Flavor is subdued...a slight muted bitterness. Leaves a pretty clean sensation on the palate.
Unlike Linda Martin, I didn't find this to taste very sweet...the aroma suggested sweetness, but upon drinking, it wasn't too sweet for me. It was a little sour, however.
Overall, not bad. A basic tea bag, so I wasn't expecting much, but this one was good quality and worked pretty well.
