I love this tea. Tart, tangy. The blueberries are present in the smell and every sip. If you don’t like blueberries, this one isn’t going to be for you.

I used to work at a place where a person would get called back onto the sales floor during their lunch breaks. I wanted tea, darn it, but finicky teas were out. This tea is not finicky.

I do not add anything to this when I drink it. Straight up blueberry, baby. ;)

Rishi’s Blueberry Rooibos Tea is hands down one of my very favorites and a staple in my tea cupboard. I first enjoyed it when visiting friends in Chicago when we ate at this amazing vegan cafe called “Delicious”. I have been ordering it non-stop as I go through it quite quickly. The taste is vibrant and sweet – like you have just eaten a bowl of fresh blueberries. The aroma is exquisite. It is an experience in and of itself from the first time you unseal the bag and the scent tickles your nose right up until you munch on the berries after drinking up all the tea. The aftertaste is wonderful. It is like you have just eaten a blueberry muffin. The taste lingers wonderfully. I love rooibos teas and this one is fantastic.

One of my favorite Roobios so far. VERY blueberry, tart yet smooth at the same time. Almost no taste of Roobios but somehow that is ok. An antioxidant punch that I can’t wait to try iced.

I highly recommend this rooibos blend. The blueberries add a sweet, fruity flavor that goes a long way. Like other rooibos blends, a little bit in one’s teaball goes a long way. I drink this both hot and cold.

I took this to a tea party once and out of over 20 teas available, this was the most requested. Very berry without tasting fake and has the most delicious blueberry smell. Don’t be tempted to make it a blueberry cream drink as the acidity will instantly curdle any dairy added to it.

I usually prefer unflavored Rooibos, but this one isn’t half bad. Only steeped 3-4 minutes instead of the recommended 5-7 on the bag. The fruit gets too tart for my taste when steeped too long.

Blu-rooi, as I like to call it, smells amazing and takes a couple cups to get used to for rooibos purists. Don’t think I can handle the caffeine this cloudy morning, so it’s an interesting substitute for my usual black tea.

This is one of my favorites – I even bought a huge bag of this! Tastes and smells so fresh and fruity. It is sweet and a tiny bit tart but is nicely complimented by the warm, mildly nutty flavor of rooibos. I don’t add sugar… just hot water!

I’m addicted to steepster. Everytime I drink tea, I can’t stop thinking about going to steepster and logging my tea. Sometimes, I admit, I’m too lazy to write a review.

So this blueberry rooibos is a staple in my tea cabinet. I think I will always be ordering this for a long time. It is naturally sweet and not tart at all. It is laid-back and forgiving. I can forget the leaves in hot water for a long time and it won’t go bad on me. On the other hand, I can steep for 1-2 minutes and still has a lot of flavor. YUM! It tastes great cold and hot.

ahh… this reminds me staying at my bibi’s house in Tanzania with my 2 close friends from school. We drank this every night before going to bed. Mornings, of course, were times when we drank the TZ’s (finest) black teas, or Bibi would make us ginger black tea, overloaded with sugar of course. Yes I’m all over the place.

Its gone. I feel so empty! Finished this up this morning!

BLAH this was gross today. My boyfriend mixed this with some unknown black tea but steeped it for far too long! blahh!! I need another tea STAT!

My boyfriend made blueberry rooibos this morning. I was surprised since I was expecting black tea and it looked like black tea in my mug! So when I went to take a sip, It was sweet goodness!

It has been SO hot outside these days! I always love to bust this out and make some iced rooibos! Its so smooth and naturally sweet and tart. I love this one!

I was craving this! CRAVING! I’m running low on blueberry rooibos, and I wish I had an infinite supply of it. This is the threshold of how I like my tartness. Yummy!

Making the most of these last summer days! I made some blueberry rooibos iced! yum!

Made another HUGE batch of iced blueberry rooibos. Delicious and refreshing :)

Iced! :) Yum!

Blended this iced with Rishi Blueberry Rooibos, Adagio Pi Lo Chun, Mighty Leaf Organic Spring Jasmine, Numi Rooibos. I tend to drink this alone, but it tastes great iced, especially on a really warm day like today.

Made this iced and it is so refreshing :)

First of all, this tea smells amazing. When I opened the tin, the room instantly filled with a mouth-watering blueberry scent. But I’m just not a fan of rooibos. It has that odd rooibos aftertaste that I just can’t get used to. Aside from that, though, it’s a great tea. If you’re into flavored rooibos, I’d say to go for it. It brews up a nice shade of magenta.

Alright, I changed my mind. After brewing a pitcher of it to have iced, I feel like I should add that it’s delicious cold. While the rooibos flavor seemed stronger when it was hot, it takes on a different and much more refreshing note when it’s cold. My brother and I went through the whole pitcher in one day. It’s sweet and summery, with a hint of something creamy in the aftertaste like vanilla.

I’ve upped the rating score just a little because of this. If you have this tea and haven’t tried it iced, I highly recommend that you do!

Also, I should note that though I mentioned before that this tea smells VERY strong when you open the package, it doesn’t describe what it’s like to make half a gallon at once. My entire apartment REEKED of blueberry. In fact, one of my roomies asked me if I was making muffins within the first minute steeping. I wonder if the neighbors could smell it, it was so strong!
