Day 19 of the Teanzo Advent Calendar …
Tasty! I usually prefer a rooibos blend to be very strongly flavored, so much so that it masks the flavor of the rooibos which isn’t my favorite taste. I don’t mind rooibos as much as I once did, but, I still like a good, strongly flavored rooibos blend. This isn’t as strongly flavored as what I used to want, but I’m not minding that because the nutty flavors of the rooibos works really well with the vanilla notes.
The vanilla tastes authentic. It doesn’t have a fake taste or a cheap vanilla extract sort of flavor. I enjoyed this.

I’ve tried a few vanilla rooibos lately trying to find the right one for me. So far the first one I had (Allegro brand) was the best. I currently am trying to evaluate Upton’s but I think it tastes a little “artificial” despite that it has natural vanilla extract and vanilla bean pieces to flavor it. Maybe it’s the quality of the rooibos making it taste kinda off.

On the other hand I’m really enamored with Upton’s Super Grade Rooibos.
