I usually only ever leave one review for a tea, but I’m sad to say that my impression of this one has changed completely since I rated it a 99 three years ago. The new bag of it that I have doesn’t taste at all like the last one, which was basically my perfect tea. This one is just sad, muddled, very lightly flavored rooibos. I had a few cups of it, but I’m passing the rest along, unfortunately. I don’t know if they changed the recipe or what, but it’s a bummer. I had a similar experience recently with their Nuts About You tea, but I didn’t bother to update my review before finishing my new bag of that.

Good to know. I had put some of their rooibos blends on my wishlist but have been putting it off because they werent as close in location as some other spots.

I love B&B in general, so it’s always disappointing/surprising when one of their teas doesn’t work for me!

This particular tea was the last thing I put in my stomach before the most intense bought of food poisoning I’d ever had hit me (note, the tea had nothing to do with teh food poisoning, which came from a meal eaten several hours before I sipped my evening rooibos). Ever since, the particular vanilla flavoring B&B uses (regardless of if it is this tea or a different one) instantly makes me feel sick. Sad. :-(

Bio

I’m an event planner who always has multiple mugs of tea beside me. Hobbies other than tea include board games, video games, cooking international dishes, science fiction, hiking, jigsaw puzzles, tap dancing, reading, listening to podcasts, and playing with my troublesome kitties.

Favorite flavors: dessert flavors, nutty, melon, mint, strawberry, anything rooibos-related.

Don’t prefer: Smoky, rosemary, savory flavors, floral (other than lavender), plain tea.

I always drink flavored tea, and preferably caffeine-free or black. I’ll try just about anything though! Let me know if you’re interested in a swap!

My ratings are kind of meaningless, but basically
90-100 pretty perfect
80-89 really good
70-79 good, but not the best
60-69 okay, but probably not for me
1-59 varying degrees of dislike
