Provence Rooibos

Rooibos Tea by EnjoyingTea.com

The Provence Rooibos is a top grade herbal tea from South Africa. This delicious tea includes Rooibos, rosehip shells, dried black currants, rose leaves, lavender, raisins, dried red currants, rose petals, and dried blueberries. Rooibos, meaning Red Bush in Afrikaans, is grown at the altitude of 2000 feet above sea level in the Cedarberg region. Fermentation of the Rooibos turns the leaves from green to deep red and gives a slight sweet note. When brewed this tea produces a reddish orange liquid with a sweet fruity taste and a floral aroma. Research has shown Rooibos tea to be a rich natural source of antioxidants with a high level of flavonoids. The absence of caffeine makes it an ideal drink, even at night.

I really like this blend. The fruit and lavender help disguise some of the less desired qualities of the rooibos. The flavor is sweet and fruity, with a nice berry tartness to it that is not too tart. It’s good iced too.

Lovely. The lavender really comes through nicely here, and I like how the fruit flavors linger throughout the sip. It is deliciously fruit-flavored without being too fruity, and nicely floral without being too flowery. And the rooibos are barely discernible.

A delicious cuppa.

Finishing off the last that I have of this tea this evening. Warm and cozy. Nice!

Sweet, beautiful lavender, and a lovely fruit taste. Very little from the rooibos.

I like it.

This is just fun to look at! The scent is nice, too! It infuses dark for a rooibos. I can taste the natural sweetness but can also taste the blueberries and currants and they are juicy and yummy.

SIPDOWN!

I’m sitting here trying to settle my stomach and trying to talk myself into cleaning the house…blah. Anyhow…I finished up this little bit from my stash and the fruit flavors are gentle and delightful. If I try real hard I can pick out the currants and raisins just a little bit more than the other flavors but not by much. These ingredients are in great harmony together!

Delicious and beautiful!!! I’m tasting all kinds of sweet berries and interesting flavors which I can’t put my finger on – I think I’m tasting some lavender but it’s so harmonious with the rest of the flavors that it’s hard to pin down! Very unique – I love it! Thank you Tea Bird!!!

I had this for the first time at an amazing little tea shop in upstate NY (which I now have to find and rate among the Places). I didn’t buy any in bulk there, foolishly, so I hunted down a company online that seemed to carry the same blend. Yes!

So, this is a very soft berry rooibos tea with a few floral notes. You can see all of the flavors in the ingredients, which I love: currants, blueberries, rose petals, and lavender. The lavender isn’t so much a flavor as an aftertaste, an almost menthol tang, but it all comes together surprisingly well. This is a unique tea, that I have to be in the right mood for, but when I am it’s delicious!
