Rooibos Berry

Feeling like crap. Nauseous from vicodin. I’m drinking this and watching hamlet.

I didn’t have the experience that several others mentioned in their tasting notes… but my tea sample appears to be missing the berry pieces you see in the pictures…

After reading the other reviews, I’m thinking the missing berries might be a good thing. :)

My new way to go in the afternoon…Body + Mind base and add in some rooibos for flavor

Oh god, this tasted like the hated children’s “berry flavored” medicine. I couldn’t finish one cup.

Brad – says good. Rating: 85

Since I happened on this sample and don’t generally favor flavored teas, I wasn’t expecting much out of this Rooibos that instead turned out to be quite nice. I’m thinking the strawberry flavor would go well with bananas, cream & ice in a smoothy, sort of.

I don’t really get any medicinal flavor from this tea, however it is herbal so it would make sense why some say this. The berry flavor and aroma is very slight but enjoyable and the rooibos itself isn’t half bad. You really have to steep it for a while (10 mins or so) to get a real, bold flavor out of it. Aside from that, it tastes great mixing with lemonade, adding some sugar and milk or blending with black tea.

It smelled like dynatap or some other crappy cold medicine when I opened the tin. It was overwhelming. I couldn’t get the awful smell out of my nose the whole time I was steeping. It was just overall bad. Once brewed the cough medicine taste was subdued a bit. This was a really bad tea. I’m going to give the rest of the tin to someone else because I am certainly not brewing the rest of it. The really bad berry flavoring ruins this tea.

Unsure just yet. Rather weak.

perfect way to wake up. mmmm
