Rooibos Orange

This blend smelled very orangy when I opened the pouch and it was more of a sweet mandrin orange scent than your more tart navel oranges, I found. At first the orange flavour wasn’t readily apparent in the tea, though equally the woody rooibos flavour wasn’t as strong as I’d feared. There’s an strange flavour that I couldn’t identify that came across as being a bit bread-like or maybe nutty – it was odd, though not unpleasent, just not very orange-like. However as the tea cooled off the orange flavour made a re-appearance and interestingly the tea also became sweet, depite me not adding any honey or other sweetener to it.

It’s not a bad tea, but I don’t think they quite hit the mark with the flavouring.

It’s a nice one, although i agree about the two flavors being unbalanced

Orange and rooibos, sounds like a great mix, however this isn’t as orange as you might think based on how it smells as you are putting it into whatever teaware you use to steep it. The smell is almost 100% orange, however once it has steeped and you get it in your cup, the rooibos comes out to play.

This was my after superbowl drink actually, basically something to calm me down after the big game. Having had it before I knew what to expect, a big orange nose until it falls into my cup, then it is almost all rooibos with a hint of orange overtone. Basically what you have is a woody rooibos symphony and just a hint of orange harmony, exactly backwards what you would think from smelling it before you brew it.

Which just so happens to be how I like it. So if you like rooibos drink this tea, if you are looking for a tea dominated by the orange go somewhere else this one is not for you.

Nose is rooibos wood with just a hint of orange after steeping. Taste is almost all rooibos with just a layered hint of fruit. Which fruit you ask? You aren’t asking you know which one! I prepared this with two teaspoon fulls of “leaf” and 2 cups of water, steeped it and put it in one of my favorite big mugs.

Hope you all have a good evening. Maybe my next tea shipment will come tomorrow… until then!

My first experience with “loose leaf” Rooibos. Came as part of the Adagio Rooibos sampler. Good balance between the Roiboos and the Orange with a very nice aroma. I enjoyed it, but perhaps my expectations were too high. Comprable to other Rooibos pouch teas I have had before.

Tried this again, and I liked it a lot better than the first time I had it. Going to increase my rating.

My all-time favorite tea. Wonderful hot or iced. Smooth, fruity and relaxing

I haven’t tried the Adagio version of Rooibos Orange. But I loved the version I found at Teavana, however they don’t seem to sell that anymore and I came here looking for suggestions. Anyone have an opinion?

I had never heard of Rooibos tea until I stumbled upon the Adagio Teas site. I picked up a sample pack of Rooibos Orange to give it a try. Instantly it became one of my favorite teas. Nothing is more relaxing than a delightful cuppa Rooibos Orange tea to soothe away the days woes. I love the smell of orange as it brews. And I love the strong orange taste. This is definitely a tea to keep on hand.

I also like it iced.
No milk, just a little fresh honey.
