Perhaps it isn’t very fair for me to review this tea. I am drinking it because someone gave it to me and I will give it a try, but I don’t like rooibos. It tastes like cough syrup to me.
The aroma had me hopeful. This really did smell good! Very citrusy. But the sip let me down. There is a peppery taste to this, as in black pepper. If I needed to drink tis as medicine, I could. Drink it for pleasure? I think not.
If you like rooibos, citrus, and pepper, buy it!
I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fourteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.
We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

The pepper sounds interesting. Especially (sniff, hack, snorfle) this time of year.
If I had been given more than one teabag, I would gladly have sent the rest to you! Feel better!
