I love The Tao of Tea Organic Rooibos tea, it's delicious hot or iced!! :) It's affordable, and it comes in a beautiful reusable tin, with a tight sealed inside lid to keep the tea fresh. It's caffeine free, so even better!! I've used it as a "regular" tea, drunk hot, as an iced tea, and also used it and TToT Organic Honeybush tea, to brew my homemade Kombucha!! It's perfect. Also, the shipping is affordable and fast!! Will most definitely buy from IHerb again!! :)

Smells fresh

Verified Purchase

Even though I purchased it probably about 9 months old (since the harvest time is 3 months away), this brand of Rooibos smells and tastes more potent than any other brand I've tried recently. I personally like to use a Tablespoon of leaves steeped for 8-10 minutes in a preheated cup to make a full-bodied cup of tea. Rooibos is purported to have more antioxidants than coffee or green or black tea.

Yeah, It Does Nicely Enough

Verified Purchase

As a South African I'm gonna say this doesn't taste EXACTLY the way I feel it should. Maybe I just have a brand preference that I'm unaware of - but this doesn't quite remind me of my childhood the way I expected. Having said that, it is a really nice tea and I don't mind drinking it. It has also definitely become my boyfriend's favorite overnight compared to the other types of tea we've ordered from this brand (my favorite is the peppermint).

Red, lovely, flavorful, but processed very thin.

Verified Purchase

The flavor of this tea is marvelous! It has a great mahogany color and a robust heady smell. The flavors are not too overwhelming, but incredibly distinct and almost delicate, like you'd expect of a rooibos. However, it gets a star knocked because of how finely processed the tea is. I have to use my finest strainers to get a good brew and avoid tea just soaking willy nilly. Granted, I enjoy the tea so much I have no qualms brewing it in my larger strainer.

Great rooibos

Verified Purchase

The packaging is good in that it is really air-tight. That means I can even use the container for some nuts storage after finishing the tea! And yes, they are truly authentic rooibos!
