Our Kalahari Tea makes a ideal iced tea that all members of the family will enjoy. The Rooibos tea, or "redbush" tea of South Africa, is renown for its red color when brewed and its mellow, nutty, and sweet flavor. Rooibos serves as an excellent herbal tea, providing beneficial effects to the skin and blood, and certainly offering a sensational flavor for casual tea drinkers. When blended with sweet flowers such as the South African "Honeybush" plant, Rooibos becomes a zesty and refreshing drink. We have added honeybush, marigolds, and cornflowers, along with orange and peach and vanilla flavorings, to create this amazingly sweet brew.

I am not a huge fan of this. I think I’ve had it before, but I am not sure what it was called, or what’s in it. It has a kind of citrusy flavor, but it is not really pronounced. Maybe kind of a peach-apricot taste. It’s bland; honeybush itself is bland, and it is paired with bland flavors, making it exponentially more bland. I wish I could think of the name of the same tea carried by another company, but I can’t. In any event, I’d pass. For all of Red Leaf’s awesome tea, this is boring, and the flavors aren’t optimal.

Time to fess up: Normally I have a semi-decent reason to sample the teas I volunteer to try. Whether it's that the tea itself looks good or it's a new company I want to experience or any number of other reasons, I usually have some explanation. Every once in a while I run out of teas I'm excited about and tack one onto the list of ones I volunteer to review because I need a longer list. When this sample arrived, I realised I had no idea what it was or why I had requested it, so my guess is it's one of those last-minute list-lengtheners, a decision I do not regret.
I steeped a heaping teaspoon with boiling water for four minutes. The cup has an overall nebulous citrus quality, one that I would not brave labelling as specific to orange, combined with the distinct sweetness of peach. The vanilla flavouring is similarly indistinct, reading more as a faint creaminess than anything else. While the flavours aren't firm, it is still a pleasant cup overall: well blended and distinctly honeybush.
This herbal is extremely well priced, as well as a good one to have iced. I have been trying to find more caffeine free beverages so I can drink late into the evening, and this is one I will have to add to my collection. It didn't blow me away, but it delivers exactly what Red Leaf Tea promises, and today I'm not asking for any more than that.
