Brewed in a big teapot – 5 mn/90°C. I find it ok for a tea at this price.
Very spicy with a slight anise taste. I’m used to drink it at work.

Brewed in a big teapot. I found the ginger too strongly present, and the green base was so-so. Could be ok for an everyday tea though.

Brewed in a small teapot (20cl) : 30s – 45s – 60s – 1’00 – 1’30.
Good tea, not awesome as I expected :)

The scent of the leaves is heavily roasted and I think this taste should be very present if overbrewed.

The after taste is fruity and woody/roasted, very strong and stay in the mouth for a long time. It tastes like peach in my opinion.

Good tea, a little overpriced I think.

Brewed at 90°c. Drinked cold. Refreshing and a strong taste.
I like the rooibos, so easy to successfully brew them :)
