I was a little skeptical of this tea at first when my daughter had me try it at a famous coffee house that serves it. (I come from a traditional Irish tea-drinking family and the old-timers wouldn't approve,lol.) But I do love this tea because it's soothing and more healthy than regular tea. I enjoy it at night when I want to relax and it doesn't keep me awake.(Black tea is actually not that good for you, so I don't drink it much) Rooibos is naturally caffeine free and rich in antioxidants, which is a plus. I'm not a fan of herbal teas and green teas in general. I typically make my tea with milk and Rooibos can be served any way you like it, including iced. It doesn't require much sweetener but I add a little Stevia. I don't think the taste is that far off from an orange pekoe type tea. This has become my favorite tea over my decaf English tea (which I also love). You can always get the sample pack if you're not sure.
I bought this tea as I wanted to try somthing new. I made this and took one sip and had to spit it out as the taste was disgusting. I will never purchase this one again. I am actually trying to get rid of the box as I will not drink another cup.
If you are traditional in your tea taste then you will not like this. I would not say it is bad but it has a very unique flavor. It is an aquired taste. I was not disapointed because I wanted to try something different. I just would not drink it again.
The first time I tried this k cup I though the flavor was very unusual and I was not sure I liked it. After finishing my first cup I was hooked. I feel very relaxed after drinking it and look forward to having this tea before bedtime. Rooibos is my favorite K cup and I order it on a regular basis. Kind of go through a little withdraw if I run out of this k cup.
I grew up with rooibos and still drink it a lot and all my kids love it. I have to buy these often because they go through them so fast. Normally I find the rooibos brands that is not made in South Africa too weak but this one is perfect.
This is a great all around tea for anytime iced or hot with or without milk. Its a great tea for those like me that can't drink caffine I have a sensitive stomach and this tea has never bothered it.
