Rooibos Tea by Celestial Seasonings
Red tea, made from the rooibos plant grown only in South Africa’s Cederberg Mountains, has been enjoyed for centuries for its healthful properties. Today, this mellow herbal tea is enjoyed by people around the world as a flavorful way to do something good for their bodies. In our African Orange Mango tea, the slightly nutty flavor of rooibos is enhanced with the sweet flavor of juicy oranges and red-gold mangos for a truly exotic taste sensation.
I’m going to withhold rating this until I give it another chance or two. No scent at all when I opened the box, but after steeping it smelled very promising. Lots of orange in the steam. I left the bag in the mug and let it cool a bit.
It tasted like soap.
I had just washed my mug so it’s POSSIBLE that I didn’t rinse it well enough, but I was still so discouraged that even after washing again I wasn’t ready to give it another try yet.
On the plus side, no hibiscus.
I found this at Big Lots today and saw that it had rooibos in it. The aroma is of oranges, but I taste more of the mango and the honey flavor of the rooibos. It is sort of like drinking mango juice. The flavors taste real, but it is too sweet for me and lacks depth. Adding some cream helped alleviate the cloying sweetness and made it taste more like mangos and cream.
Bought on a whim when I saw it at Big Lots for $2, and because I really like rooibos. Very nice, little bit of sugar goes a long way since its just inherently sweet. I steep mine for a looong time and its extremely flavorful, one of the few teas I can drink iced as well.
I like the Madagascar Vanilla a bit better, but then I’m just a sucker for vanilla. For something fruity, its very, very nice.
Delish! HUGE SMILE!
Single cup, 1 Truvia.
