Rooibos Rose Garden

I am not a big herbal buff, that said my sister convinced me to try this “tea” and I must say…not bad, not bad at all, but not tea either.

I had a pot of this today. It was pretty old. The first cup I had, when I found it again, was pretty good. Each time I’ve been more and more disappointed. I can’t tell if that’s because it’s old, or just that my expectations were pretty low the first time. Anyway, it was a fruity cup, with not too much noticeable rooibos, and I ended up throwing out the rest.

I really like the taste of this rooibos. The only thing I really want to comment on is that this tea is really good to blend with other teas. I would blend in some jasmine and it makes an excellent tea. try it!

Well, after our second warm day in a row, my allergies kicked up big time today, so of course I brewed up a pot of rooibos as soon as I got home from work. It really does make a difference.

In the spring when I’m sneezy, I drink this all day, and it helps to keep the allergies manageable – without the need for otc pills, which I hate. Unfortunately, Teavana has discontinued this rooibos. A shame, because it really is tasty – floral and fruity, but never heavy or artificially ‘flavored’.

I picked up a supply of this late last year after it was discontinued. I have enough left to last me about a week. Then, I’ll have to find another rooibos. Luckily, the Rooibos Tropica is also wonderful and has not been discontinued :)

I LOVE THIS BLEND! For some reason it was perfect to drink while reading. It brought you to the place. Very floral which I didn’t think I’d enjoy but I did.
