Best Vanilla Tea... February 13, 2013

Gen87

Richmond, VA

I actually discovered the Republic of Tea, and this particular tea, because of a Youtube video. I immediately headed to my local Whole Foods and picked up a tin. This is truly the best Vanilla Rooibos tea I've had and I've had a few, including Tazo's Vanilla Rooibos. This particular brand has a vanilla taste that comes through without overpowering the tea. It is truly the best vanilla tea I've tried, hands down.

My new favorite tea! February 05, 2013

Melissa

Sherwood Park, AB

I have had other vanilla rooibos teas, but none have compared to this tea. I usually have this tea in the evening, in a tea latte with a little bit of honey. I love that as a bonus it is gluten free and caffeine free! If you love red tea, then you have to try this tea, the hint of vanilla just adds something extra.

I love this tea but it is an acquired taste. Rec'd first as a gift & wasn't sure if I liked it. Now it's my favorite evening tea as NO caffiene. I have become a fan of red tea and have now tried other blends.

This is the first time I've had a rooibos tea and I love, love, love the Good Hope Red Vanilla! Up to now green tea has been my favorite tea. I think that has just changed.

Overly Sweet January 14, 2013

, NY

I have never had Rooibos before, but this was so overpowering as a tea. The vanilla was all that I could really taste and I am still unsure of what the actual rooibos tea taste like. Maybe nothing? At any rate, this tea was laborious to drink at near the end of the cup.

I Love this tea. It is robust and has a nice sweetness to it. I drink it everyday and I was told it roobios helps give some sort of resistance to colds or flu. All

Vanilla means vanilla December 05, 2012

AC

, SD

When they say "vanilla", they mean "VANILLA". This tea is uber sweet and tastes like you're drinking organic real vanilla extract right from the bottle. This tea would be awesome mixed in with baked goods and compotes, but it's just too much to drink alone. It may also be better mixed with milk and cider spices.

Beauteaful

Madison, WI

I am to avoid caffeine but I enjoy something robust in the morning. I'm also trying to stay away from heavy sweeteners, and don't love cream in my tea. This gives me the ideal cup every morning, a wonderful blend of sweetness with enough fullness in the rooibos to balance. My perfect morning blend!

When my friends treated me with this Tea at their home in London. I have gotten "hooked" immediatelly. While it lasted I did not pay attention to brand and name. My curiosity have been avakened, when the tin can has disapered. My friends did not remember the brand and name either. Only six month later I accidentally found this tea in South Tahoe Ridge Resort. What a pleasure to sip a cup of Good Hope Vanila with touch of honey and milk.

People in Alabama drink a LOT if iced tea, and I've served this at tea parties with great success. It's also a constant presence in my fridge all summer. In the winter, I drink it after dinner when caffeine is an issue. The vanilla flavor makes it a treat, a little dessert even without added sweetener.

This has been my favorite red tea ever since I had the first cup years ago. I usually serve it to my book group. Once I was out of it and served something else, and one of the members was very disappointed, wanting to know if she could have the tea that I usually serve.

When first opening the container, a sweet, warm bouquet peeks out and follows the teabag into the cup. It's very tempting to take a sip before allowing this amazing gem to fully steep. Ah, but the wait is worth every minute. This tea definitely takes me to my happy place. The taste is every bit as wonderful as the aroma.

This is what hooked me on Republic of Tea November 29, 2011

Robin

Iowa City, IA

I fell in love with Rooibos tea during my 2003 trip to Botswana. At that time, Rooibos was somewhat of a novelty in the US (at least in Iowa!) I discovered Good Hope Vanilla in a coffee shop and was THRILLED to find a Rooibos that tasted as good as the one I remembered from Botswana. There used to be an entire collection of "South African" Rooibos blends (Botswana Blossom & Safari Sunset - both of which were EXCELLENT). I wish the Republic of Tea would bring back some of these blends.

I first tried this tea years ago when I was introduced to rooibos. Since then I have tried MANY different red teas and loved a lot of them but this one is still my favorite. It is smooth, never bitter, perfect hot or cold, unsweetened or sweetened (I love it with a touch of agave nectar sometimes). I have introduced many people to it and they always come back and tell me they had to go buy a can for themselves. A wonderful tea!

This is it, the one tea that smelled so good I was an instant convert to tea as a hot beverage. Sure I drink iced tea, even year round, but I just wasn't a tea drinker when it came to warm beverages. This one converted me because it smells heavenly and tastes phenomenal!
