Hubby picked this one out; his comment when he took a test sniff was, “Orange Crush!” I get that. Sweet without being sugary; smooth with no tartness.

The differences between rooibos and honeybush are very subtle. You can correct me if your palate doesn’t agree, but to me, rooibos is nuttier and shines when it’s paired with ice creamy flavors like vanilla and chocolate. Honeybush is a little brighter and fruitier, so it is a good match for the orangey goodness Twinings added to this blend.

I just did an Arkansas “fun tea” run, so I’ll have some new lovely loose leaf to yammer about soon, but recently, I’ve stumbled on some very pleasant, fuss-free bagged options that make life a little simpler. This is one of them.

One of my favorite teas! Doesn’t last long in my house!

I’m thinking this will be great chilled when the weather warms up.

Might need to pick this up for iced teas!

It’s a great sun tea or as a cold brew. I’ve had both last summer. Quite refreshing!

Just picked up this and another tea at the grocery store. I’ll be reviewing soon! :)
