Thank you all for your responses. I’m going to look through all the suggestions and see if anything really stands out to me.

The thought had crossed my mind to look for a rooibos with actual vanilla bean pieces in it, as I really enjoy vanilla rooibos and any time I’ve had desserts with vanilla bean I have really liked the flavor. I saw the one from David’s Tea but after reading many reviews on Steepster I don’t think I’m going to take my chances on it. There were too many negative or mediocre reviews (and, laugh if you must, but I don’t tend to trust teas that have flowers thrown in just to make them pretty rather than for flavor).

I will definitely look up some of the teas you suggested though. Thanks!

I actually ended up ordering the “Super grade” plain rooibos from Upton, as several reviews say it has a lot better flavor than other rooibos they’ve tried. I also went ahead and ordered their vanilla rooibos while I was making my order, since it’s my tried and true flavor pairing with rooibos and it contains actual vanilla bean pieces. Hopefully it’ll be good!
