One of my friends brought this back from South Africa; it's just a store brand, so it makes sense that it would fall a bit short of some of the specialty sources of Rooibos I've had here in the U.S. However, compared to bagged supermarket teas available in the U.S., it's pretty good.
The aroma is much earthier than other rooibos I've tried...less fruity. However, far from flat. Although it's not as aromatic of some of the better rooibos I've had, it has fewer unpleasant characteristics.
