The first time I tried this (several years ago) I did not care for it at all. It has taken me some time and several tastings to finally come around to this tisane, and now I actually quite enjoy it. It has a flavor that is very much like a creamsicle, but, the first time I tried it, I think all I could taste was that woody flavor and funky saccharine-y aftertaste from the rooibos … with very little orange or creamy yogurt flavor to speak of. Maybe I got a bad batch that first time around? I don’t know.

But now, I am really liking what I’m tasting. Maybe it just needed to grow on me. Whatever … I didn’t like this then, but I like it now. And since I didn’t have tasting notes of it back then, I think I will just rate it according to what I am tasting now.

Wow, what an aroma! Like freshly squeezed oranges!
Tastes just a bit less orange-y but still good.

I had this last night and I remember it being a good tasting rooibos…not too rooibosy-sweet – it was even and yummy. I don’t recall the orange or yogurt tho…will revisit and REreview today.

Okay…so…I remember this one from 10 months ago and only had enough for 2 or 3 cups in the sample I got from someone BUT this time around I now have a 3-ounce bag! YAY! Right away I am upping my rating! Every flavor is much more intense this time around – more fresh! I can taste the citrus and it’s cheery and bright, of course, but this time around I am picking up on the yogurt MUCH MORE and it’s a delight!

A nice Creamy Treat but also orangey and yummy and very flavorful!

Smells like fresh squeeze O.J. LOVE it! :)

I’ve been having a heck of a time with steepster lately…it’s been really slow for me…esp the dashboard…anyhow…

backlogging this one from yesterday…see my other notes

Okay…after sipping this again and paying more attention to it…I still like the Rooibos, it’s tasty! It’s not really what I would called orange or yogurt tho. There are hints of orange and a creamy finish…so maybe more like a slight creamiscle taste…but not very strong. Regardless – I like it – and it’s not as sweet as some rooibos’s (or is it Rooibos-EYE, lol) are…but thumbs up for the creamy attempt…cuts back on the natural sweetness of the rooibos for a more smooth blend!
