Organic African Sunset

Rooibos Tea by two leaves and a bud

Rooibos, or red bush tea, is a great caffeine-free alternative. two leaves’ African Sunset brews up rich and lemony with just a hint of lemon grass tang to craft a sweet but interesting flavor. Rooibos is also high in anti-oxidants and trace minerals. Red Tea or more literally “red bush” only grows in South Africa where it has a spicy, somewhat astringent herbal flavor, which makes it a great tea alternative.

I thought I logged this one already but apparently I didn’t. Where this isn’t bad it isn’t memorable either. The taste is ok…typical Rooibos…but I really can’t taste anything else. I prefer it cold or iced, actually…

Received some of this in a tea swap. I love rooibos, not a great fan of lemongrass, so I was curious about blending them. The overwhelming taste is rooibos, so that’s good. I got a definite hint of the lemongrass in the smell, not so much in the taste. The rooibos wasn’t as strong or as “earthy” as some others I’ve tried, maybe that’s the lemongrass contribution.

A simple, pleasant cuppa before bed. I’ll enjoy the stash while it lasts, I doubt I’ll replenish the supply when it’s gone.

It is OK. Rather weak, but I might not have steeped it enough.

rooibos tea makes me think of twigs. calm, pleasant twigs. i didn’t find this tea to have a particularly strong or distinct flavor, but i could taste the hint of lemongrass, which i enjoyed. a nice afternoon tea.

I don’t know what it is about Rooibos teas, but I cannot stand them. This tea has a very distinct overwhelming licorice flavor. It’s too rich so that I can’t taste the “lemon grass tang” two leaves’ description claims (sorry guys). I wonder what other people think about this tea. Perhaps, I just don’t like rooibos.
