Organic Blueberry Rooibos from Alterra

Organic Blueberry Rooibos

Fruit Rooibos Blend by Alterra

Made from the leaves of a plant that grows exclusively in South Africa’s Western Cape province, the nutty flavored rooibos is often referred to as “red tea.” It’s packed with anti-oxidants and Vitamin C and blended with organic berries and flowers for a flavor that is bright, clean, and irresistibly juicy.

This is by far one of the best rooibos teas I’ve ever had the chance to enjoy. The smell and taste was reminiscent to blueberry pancakes. The tea uses REAL blueberries (apparently this is a pretty big deal now) and even though they’re dried they still have excellent flavor to them. The tea was on the thicker side, which made it almost syrup-y. I could see this tea replacing water in a recipe for blueberry-anything if I really wanted to. I tried resteeping this tea to see if anything would change, but the brew didn’t come out, so…sad day. Nonetheless, an amazing tea with an average price.
