MilitiaJim hates banana that isn’t a plain real fresh banana. It didn’t find this offensive.
I on the other hand love it as a sweet dessert treat late night tea!

Okay, even though I dislike rooibos, I have to try this one. Such high accolades from you means it has to be good!! :)
lol-i guess i am a picky one!
It has a strong rooibos undertone, so if you really don’t like rooibos it is probably not for you – on the other hand it isn’t rooibossy. (disclaimer: i like rooibos!)
LOL! I love rooibossy — it’s the perfect term :D
