African Red Bush

Basic bag tea that is “good enough” in a pinch when I don’t have time for loose leaf :) enjoyed this one yesterday but forgot to log it.

Received a couple bags of this in a swap from someone (not on this site).

It’s okay. It’s a decent rooibos. It’s fairly unremarkable, but it’s okay on a lazy day.

I enjoy mixing this tea with a number of other teas. Currently I’m drinking it with Honeydew Melon White Tea.

I didn’t enjoy this much. I like Tazo’s teas, but this really didn’t do it for me. I’m still trying to find the red tea that will bring me around to the red teas. This wasn’t it.

I was not particularly happy with this. It tasted kind-of… medicine-y.

A good rooibos blend. Tangy, but not to excess. The rooibos flavor is filled out by the lemon balm and lemon verbena. It is a complex, relaxing and very slightly fruity tea.

Note: it is not as tangy as the presence of “citric acid” among the ingredients would lead one to suspect.

I never knew about this tea until a coworker of mine made a pot for a group of us. It was delicious!

It tastes like cough drops and makes my mouth feel strange. bleh.

To this day, one of the best examples of how good rooibos can be. Most rooibos blends go straight for tons of sugar, etc, but this one had a lovely tartness that balanced the natural creaminess of red tea.

This is my absolute favorite red bush tea! I love the tangy after taste and the aroma is divine! I stock up on it whenever I can….

I think I accidentally knocked off someone’s tasting note when I updated the information and added a picture for this tea. Whoops! My bad. (Blushes in shame).

Anyway, it’s a nice tea if you want something decaff and different. You can take it plain or with milk. It’s one of those teas that goes wll while you are busy working or chopping wood or something like that. Just sitting and drinking it doesn’t work too well.

A bit creamy.. slightly sweet… all good
