It is all organic too, so I guess that means the "natural flavor" is also organic. The aroma is pleasant, and a little reminiscent of breakfast cereal or scented oil. The apricot flavor is certainly noticeable. Why do rooibos teas all have to be so pulverized that they have to be strained or put in bags to keep the little pieces out of your mug? That is annoying, but not enough to stop me from drinking them. The price on this is...http://ratetea.com/review/6823/http://ratetea.com/review/6823/Thu, 02 Jun 2022 22:30:28 ESTThis tea was a gift. It is not tea, but rooibos flavored with jasmine. Individual bags are sealed. The aroma is woodsy, cedar like.The flavor is difficult for me to describe, almost medicinal. The jasmine is a noticeable after taste. While I am not a fan of this particular tisane, I would be curious to try the teas they offer.http://ratetea.com/review/6790/http://ratetea.com/review/6790/Sun, 06 Mar 2022 00:54:21 ESTI bought a one-pound mylar bag of Frontier rooibos and transferred it to a couple of airtight jars. While recognizably rooibos, the contents of this bag have an extra note of oregano. I brewed 5g in 16 ounces of boiling water. The oregano aroma is pronounced. It's good, but less nutty and sweet than I'm used to. I don't know enough about rooibos to speculate what the difference might be, but it's pronounced enough that I double-checked the bag to ensure that I didn't accidentally buy a blend. If I'd bou...http://ratetea.com/review/6090/http://ratetea.com/review/6090/Tue, 23 Apr 2019 04:57:00 ESTThis tea smells really good when it's in the bag. It has a strong banana smell, however it stills smells good in the cup but not as good. I tasted a hint of banana while drinking it and this is quiet interesting.http://ratetea.com/review/6086/http://ratetea.com/review/6086/Mon, 15 Apr 2019 05:35:15 ESTI'm not a big mint fan but I thought I would give this a try. It's a good quality tea but for me it's too minty but after putting some sweetener in it was better.http://ratetea.com/review/6081/http://ratetea.com/review/6081/Mon, 08 Apr 2019 04:59:26 ESTThis is another great tea from the Fava Tea company. I bought five different rooibos teas from them and they all got packaged in a nice black resealable pouch. It even had a hand written note with it to thank me for the order and a ton of flyers about tea and the benefits of it. Great packaging and fast shipping. Also there was a little sampler package for tea with it, the Sunny Disposition they sell :) The mango tea I ordered has a very pleasant and mild taste, not to Mango-ie. I was doubtful because I'm ...http://ratetea.com/review/6027/http://ratetea.com/review/6027/Tue, 05 Mar 2019 03:25:49 ESTGood quality tea. The rooibos and cinnamon have a good blend where the cinnamon is the undertone which gives it a nice after taste.http://ratetea.com/review/5651/http://ratetea.com/review/5651/Fri, 29 Jun 2018 02:42:36 ESTGreat Rooibos flavor! Good for night time! It's decaf! Herbal tea's are decaf, or so I've come to find! It's herbal!http://ratetea.com/review/5355/http://ratetea.com/review/5355/Tue, 24 Oct 2017 15:55:47 ESTEver pull apart a fresh new broom (the natural kind), crumble the straw and steep it up? I haven't (yet), but that's what straight rooibos reminds me of—broom tea, except with a red color and woody veneer. Perhaps I share enough taste genes with ruminants (moooooooooo!) that the grassiness doesn't bother me much, because I've gotten used to rooibos and proactively drink it from time to time for its health benefits, the taste being tolerable. In fact I found the color, flavor and aroma almost ident...http://ratetea.com/review/5314/http://ratetea.com/review/5314/Thu, 28 Sep 2017 19:00:45 ESTI love this tea! wonderful fragrance, bags are convenient, and it is great for the price. must add sugar; unsweetened just isn't the same.http://ratetea.com/review/5118/http://ratetea.com/review/5118/Wed, 24 May 2017 05:25:01 ESTThis tea is okay, but not my favorite. The flavor is not impressive. Compared with other rooibos teas, this simply doesn't cut it. It doesn't go down as smoothly as other rooibos teas. I prepared mine with 6oz of water and steeped for 6 minutes. Compared to the Equal Exchange brand, I cannot recommend it. It's not bad, but you can find better rooibos teas for the same price.http://ratetea.com/review/4965/http://ratetea.com/review/4965/Fri, 24 Feb 2017 23:22:42 ESTThis was the best rooibos I've ever tried in a teabag and among the best rooibos I've ever tried. I was excited when this new company, Rooi life, approached me with a sample offer. The company sells only a single product: pure rooibos, in tea bags, in a fairly big package too. Quite aromatic, earthy and with fruity and vanilla notes. The aroma has a complexity rivaling that of the best loose-leaf rooibos I've tried. Flavor is relatively bold and crisp for rooibos, smoother than black tea but with ...http://ratetea.com/review/4798/http://ratetea.com/review/4798/Sat, 29 Oct 2016 23:53:43 ESTSmoky and strong. An interesting tea that may be an acquired taste. I recommend giving it a try!http://ratetea.com/review/4575/http://ratetea.com/review/4575/Tue, 22 Dec 2015 21:09:00 ESTI am a huge fan of Rooibos, but I was not blown away by this selection. It does have an excellent color to it. The brewed cup is a deep and full red. I also thoroughly enjoyed the aroma. It was not too strong, but rather subtle and smooth. It smelled faintly of toasted nuts, which at first I thought kind of odd, but later grew to appreciate. I found the taste someone bland and mild. It was good, but not as robust as I like in a Rooibos. My favorite is from Adagio and has wonderful undertones of vanilla...http://ratetea.com/review/4412/http://ratetea.com/review/4412/Thu, 11 Jun 2015 14:55:31 ESTThe 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...http://ratetea.com/review/4397/http://ratetea.com/review/4397/Sat, 30 May 2015 12:41:31 ESTPlain rooibos is definitely my favorite herbal tea. Adagio's rooibos has an earthy and sweet aroma that leads to that naturally sweet taste that is characteristic of rooibos. The taste is filled with strong undertones of vanilla and honey. It is smooth, but not as smooth as some other rooibos tea and even has a hint of bitterness. Overall a decent choice though. http://ratetea.com/review/4356/http://ratetea.com/review/4356/Sun, 03 May 2015 20:32:59 ESTThis is a very decent cup of rooibos. The ground rooibos seems to really add a deep color and flavor to each cup, which is very nice. http://ratetea.com/review/4233/http://ratetea.com/review/4233/Thu, 26 Feb 2015 17:56:51 ESTInteresting tea--herbaceous in a way that reminds me of some tulsi teas, though this has no tulsi in it. I haven't had green rooibos before--this one being pretty good means I should probably try other varieties of it. Grassy, but not in the same way as green teas, is how I'd describe this tea's aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel (if that makes sense). Its color is a lovely almost-golden hue. (I'm uploaded a picture of the brewed tea.) It is neither bitter nor sweet and would make a decent any-day drinking te...http://ratetea.com/review/4182/http://ratetea.com/review/4182/Tue, 03 Feb 2015 23:48:47 ESTThe aroma of the little red leaves is sweet and woody, exactly the way I expect Rooibos to smell! I do not drink it unblended nearly enough, which is tragic because I love the stuff. There are also notes of caramel, a touch of honey, the tiniest hint of pepper and much to my surprise and ending hint of pie crust, which is fun! The taste is very typical Rooibos, it starts caramel woody sweet and has a dry finish, though I have found that brewing the tea at just under boiling will make it less dry and mor...http://ratetea.com/review/3995/http://ratetea.com/review/3995/Sat, 22 Nov 2014 13:05:51 ESTI haven't tried many plain rooibos teas, but I very much enjoy this one. The flavor is balanced and pleasant--nice for when you want a soothing, straightforward herbal tea. It infuses quickly to a deep red-brown. As I drink it, I can also easily appreciate why I've often enjoyed this as a base for other flavorings. The taste and flavor are pleasant (no bitterness), blend well with a variety of flavors, and yet isn't obtrusive or overly dominant. I also tried it with lemon juice added and really enjoyed tha...http://ratetea.com/review/3485/http://ratetea.com/review/3485/Thu, 05 Jun 2014 01:17:42 ESTThe aroma of this tea is very typical of a Rooibos, it is woody, sweet, a bit sharp, and a rich caramel sweetness. Rooibos has a very acquired aroma I feel, there are times I crave its woody sweetness, other times it gives me a headache. Not surprisingly, it tastes yummy! The taste is woody and rich with strong notes of caramel and sweetness that reminds me a bit of vanilla cookies. Like all Rooibos (crap, what is the plural of Rooibos?) tea it gives the mouth a dry feel, however it is milder than most ...http://ratetea.com/review/3099/http://ratetea.com/review/3099/Sat, 25 Jan 2014 08:28:22 ESTIt has a coppery red liquor, light aroma, and fairly light taste. The aroma is not unlike the company’s description, like hay or wild dry grasses. The aroma of the liquor is much weaker than the actual leaves, wet or dry, however. The taste is straight and crisp with little to no aftertaste. The flavor is much like hay as well, but not strong, with a slight sweetness and a subtle roasted characteristic. The mouthfeel is smooth with a slight dryness afterwords. Overall a good quality tea. Honestly, tho...http://ratetea.com/review/2893/http://ratetea.com/review/2893/Wed, 13 Nov 2013 11:15:02 ESTSampled at the Philly Coffee and Tea Festival. Intensely aromatic: although most rooibos strikes me as more or less similar, this one actually stood out. The aroma is both powerful and complex, earthy, and with tones of vanilla. Medium-body, with a creamy texture. Ajiri Tea seems to do a consistently excellent job of sourcing high-quality ingredients; I remain impressed with everything I've tried from them. I love that this is a company whose business model and philosophy I can stand behind, but t...http://ratetea.com/review/2797/http://ratetea.com/review/2797/Tue, 08 Oct 2013 23:45:50 ESTThe aroma of the little leaves is very clean and reminiscent of standing in a hay field. I also notice hints of strawberry which was nice. Once brewed the aroma becomes much sweeter and takes on floral notes. The taste is good! Not as sweet as the oxidized version but still sweet, no floral tastes but the fruit makes a return. http://ratetea.com/review/2573/http://ratetea.com/review/2573/Sun, 04 Aug 2013 13:23:13 ESTI thought this was an unusually high-quality rooibos for a simple, reasonably priced tea bag. Rich earthy aroma, with some complexity; I detect the faint hint of vanilla and fruitiness that is the hallmark of good rooibos. This is on par with much of the loose-leaf rooibos that I've tried. Full-bodied, strong, and low astringency. All-around quality. I still would prefer loose-leaf for reasons of sustainability, but I think this would be a good choice if you do want rooibos in tea bags. It is als...
