drank Gingerbread Rooibos by 52teas
259 tasting notes

This is simply a delightful, festive, holiday tea that works well on any cold evening.
Gingerbread Rooibos was the first in my “tea of the week” orders and I was thrilled. In addition to the very attractive packaging (such things do matter to me a little bit), they produced a dreamy and delightful tea. There’s the snap of ginger but also the sweetness and soothingness of a complexly flavored gingerbread.

I was thrilled with this selection—the odor, the taste, the experience were comforting in a way that is exciting. I felt returned to the age of innocence when Christmas meant spice and sugar and all things nice. Great tea! Different and versatile.

Having a big icy glass of this now. It’s such a nice bold black tea with plenty of citrus and spice notes. I really enjoy this one hot or iced.

This tea is amazing. Just had a bit hot and then tried it iced too! I’m not a big Genmaicha fan, to be honest, but the sweet malt flavor really adds a new dimension to this tea. It’s positively delicious! One of my new favorites!

I have ABSOLUTELY NO room left in my tea cabinet. I hope you offer this again!

This is one of our bestsellers of all time. In our brick and mortar shop in Wichita, KS, we are constantly having to re-blend this tea. Mandy, one of our regular customers, once told me that she really thought we should rename the tea “Mandy’s crack”. After a moment of consideration, she decided maybe that wasn’t such an appetizing name.

The tea is surprisingly delicious. The flavor is definitely unique from the first sip. I drink this tea when I’m in the mood for something a little different!

This is very mild green tea with light, subtle flavors. Overall, I’m not a huge drinker of green teas, but this is one of my favorites.

I enjoy this tea in the morning to get me started.

Cofftea

I REALLY hope they bring back this and create other cheesecake flavors!

I enjoyed this tea as the weather turned chilly.

First you taste the banana, then the chocolate with a hint of vanilla in there….and finally you realise that there’s a cherry on top you didn’t notice at first. The black tea comes through and keeps it from being overly sweet. An enjoyable cuppa. Not for every day, but a nice treat once in a while.

Opened the package and it smelled wonderful! The spices (and cinnamon) are just right, not overpowering. Slightly sweetened, with milk, this is a treat for a rainy day.

Does this one actually taste like pumpkin pie?!?! I still haven’t found one yet despite the claims from the companies.

Suzi

Same question as Lena! :D

LENA

inquiring minds want to know :)

chana

lol…it actually does….or maybe it’s been such a long time since I’ve had real pumpkin pie. Haven’t tried any of the other companies’ attempts.

I just spent $150 that I REALLY don’t have to enter this tea into the North American Tea Championships. I could only (not) afford to enter one tea. I hope I picked the right one and that my partner doesn’t kill me for doing it. (I would have stewed about it all year if I hadn’t done it.)

JacquelineM

That sounds very exciting! I’m rooting for ya!

RachanaC (Rachel)-iHeartTeas

Good luck and I hope it was worth the risk. Sometimes You just have to risk it to move on to greater things. I will say I do enjoy this blend. :-)

-Jessica-

Good luck!

Caitlin

Good luck!

Rabs

Great choice of tea! :)

Ewa

Good luck!

susanlouise

hopefully you feel it paid off. it was a factor in my ordering it and I will definitely order more! DELISH

If you have never entered the cinnamon raisin toast, you so need to enter that at some point. It is exquisitely unique :)

Southern Boy Teas

Unfortunately, the judges at the NATC did not agree about the Buttered Cinnamon Raisin Toast (we entered it a few months ago). They did, however award us 3rd place for the Pina Colada Honeybush last year. We might just have to enter another honeybush blend this year. Maybe Coconut Cheesecake.

Lisbet

Wow! It’s one of the most unique and interesting teas I’ve ever had. Well, no accounting for taste on that count. Congrats on the other prize though!

I’m surprised to see this tea hasn’t been logged/commented on more. This is the tea I am thinking of entering into the World Tea Championships next year. It is truly spectacular.

TeaCast

If you like pina coladaaaaaas :)

Really good tea, especially for the fall in New Jersey. Was questionable at first sip, but now it’s a favorite.

I LOVE this as an iced tea. I’m normally all about the flavored teas, but this is such a nice, naturally sweet beverage, kind of like a nice Chinese green tea, except that it has a mild (and pleasing) lemony flavor to it.

Cofftea

Green honeybush? Is there a red honeybush like rooibos?

Southern Boy Teas

Oh yeah. We use the red honeybush in several blends (Pina Colada Honeybush, Raspberry Cream Cheese Danish and the Pomegranate Honeybush).

Cofftea

Oh wow! What’s the taste difference?

Southern Boy Teas

Well, the green Honeybush seems to be citrusy. It’s almost downright lemony. The red is more like rooibos, but without the woody aftertaste. It is sweeter and smoother in my opinion. I actually prefer it to rooibos myself.

Cofftea

I don’t like red rooibos at all and have yet to try green.

Southern Boy Teas

Green rooibos also has a kind of citrusy flavor to it, but not as pronounced as the green honeybush. We did a green rooibos with strawberry that was delicious (http://www.52teas.com/2009/02/26/strawberry-green-rooibos-experiment/).

Cofftea

Haha… um that was actually a link to (my… hehe) Mayan Chocolate Chai. =D

Southern Boy Teas

That is REALLY bizarre! I just pasted the address http://www.52teas.com/2009/02/26/strawberry-green-rooibos-experiment/ here and it links to a different tea. Very strange.

Cofftea

Sure, you tempt me w/ a sold out tea, shame shame =D

Southern Boy Teas

ha ha. Sorry. We will do another blend with green rooibos someday. Green honeybush too.

Love this one as a hot tea latte. It just screams “AUTUMN is here!” Our tea latte recipe is on our website too!
