I didn’t know what to expect when I picked this up at a discount store, but was encouraged by the real pear pieces.

It’s a smooth rooibos (i.e. not too woody), the pear tastes fresh & juicy, and the vanilla comes across more as a mellow creamy note than a noticeable vanilla. It all blends together well and tastes like some sort of rich dessert – pears with cream, basically. It tastes like it has milk in it,even though I’m drinking it plain. I like it better than I expected to, but couldn’t drink it daily. I bet it would be great iced though!

I could brewed this for just a few hours (the flavoring is pretty strong). It was the perfect pairing for coconut curry with lunch, as the sweet flavor balanced the mild spice of the food nicely.

I cut open a bag of Tetley Rooibos Vanilla Pear and dumped in in the IngenuiTea, added 1tsp of Blue Raven’s “I Heart Almonds” (minus the pink sugar hearts) and steeped in 16oz water. The pear, almond, and vanilla flavors blend together perfectly. This is a very nice decaf evening tea. I’m having it with headless gingerbread man (cookie swap reject)!
