I don’t like Rooibos. As a senator from Minnesota used to say, “I deserve good things. I am entitled to my share of happiness. I refuse to beat myself up. I am attractive person. I am fun to be with. I’m good enough and I’m smart enough” and I can still not like rooibos. It’s taken me a while to admit it. To realize that all those unfortunate tea episodes had to to with rooibos. From now on I’m going to use decaff teas or straight herbals without this sawdust.
I got some of this tea because of the good reviews. I got myself a really nifty ice-tea maker from Lupicia and made this. It’s got lemon shining through the saw-dust. The predominant taste, for me, is the rooibos. As you can tell from the other reviewers, I am in a minority. This iced tea makes me want a pure lemony black decaff ice tea for my next pitcher.

I agree. Rooibos is hit or miss for me….
Oh, so sad. I loved this one. But, I only drank it hot.
I hardly like any rooibos, but green rooibos seems to have less of that sawdust taste, if you haven’t tried some already? It seems to taste better with fruity/herbal bits anyway, the few red rooibos blends I like are spicey/chocolatey.
Thank you for killing my lemming for this tea! :) I too am not fond of rooibos but had this on my wish list because of all the rave reviews. I’m happy to read that it’s not “all that” —especially for a non-rooibos person. :)
