The Tea Lab's rooibos is quite good. The dried leaves are wonderfully uniform in shape and color, and are a deep red. The aroma is not as strong as some, but still very sweet and earthy. The taste is exquisitely smooth without a bit of bitterness and focuses not as much on the vanilla undertones often found in rooibos but rather a sweet and creamy taste. That being said, the more I drink their rooibos the more I am disappointed. It simply lacks flavor, and often tastes watered down, even if it is not. I've even tried steeping it at double strength, but it still has a watery taste. Thus, although it is a decent cup of rooibos, I won't be buying it regularly.
