| Not My Favorite | February 25, 2013 | |
| There is something about the smell and taste of this tea that I just don't like. It smelled lovely before I started to steep it in water, but as soon as it was mixed with water it was kind of not at all what I thought it would be. It had a smell that reminds me of old rainwater trapped with rotten fruit, and did not taste much better. I was sorely disappointed. If I were to recommend an alternative I would say to just go for the regular Red Rooibos. Ginger Peach is excellent. |
| My absolute favorite! | January 28, 2013 | |
| I ordered several teas and kept coming back to this one every time! I'm out now and just ordered more. Was a bit disappointed the loose leaf is no longer available but I'm glad the tea itself is. The cardamom adds a wonderful, subtle flavor to the berry. |
| A perfect blend of fruit & spice | October 30, 2012 | |
| The black currant is just perfectly fruity while the cardamom adds a touch of warm spice, and the green rooibos is woody and tea-like without overwhelming the rest. Definitely a new favorite for caffeine-free tea time. |
| Yummy! | September 12, 2012 | |
| Before I tried this I tried the Plantain Coconut and Mango Chili Green Rooibos which I loved. This one is just as beautiful as the other two, but it has a dry, crisp finish instead which is a beautiful mix with the black currant and cardamom flavors! Definitely would recommend trying this one or the other green rooibos flavors if you enjoy the red rooibos, or if you're looking to try something new! |
| Excellent | August 10, 2012 | |
| Bought this for my wife as she cannot have a caffinated tea. She absolutely loves it! Splendid tea she says! Its great that she now has an alternative to Earl Greyer! |
| add a dash of cardamom | March 24, 2012 | |
| Deep currant taste, a dash of spice. I sprinkle an extra dash of ground cardamom to fuel up for doing bills online. |
| Yummmmmmmmmmmmm | March 12, 2012 | |
| Tried this tea for the first time and love it. It smells and tastes of fresh juicy berries and is totally addictive. |
| My favorite hot and cold | February 29, 2012 | |
| Black Currant Cardamom Raw Green Bush Tea is my favorite of all teas. I've been drinking tea since I was 5 years old (decades). I love it hot and iced. I think I've developed an addiction to it... For variety, I tried the Mango Chili. It's great too! |
| My Fav Raw Green Tea! | December 11, 2011 | |
| This is such a fantastic tea, and I have tried many from Republic and others. I agree with the other Leaf Readings... this is a crisp, slightly fruity, delicious tea. I highly recommend it! |
| This is my Sunday Tea | November 18, 2011 | |
| I enjoy this crisp tea. Green Rooibos is quite different from the matured rooibos. It has a crisper, stouter flavor. The fruity, spciy condiments add another lovely dimension. |

| My absolute favorite tea! |
| Best new tea in years | October 24, 2011 | |
| This tea is my favorite of ALL teas, and I buy a lot of tea from Republic of Tea. It's marvelous--try it! |
| Fresh, Unique and Satisfying! | October 02, 2011 | |
| I love rooibos so I knew I had to give the Raw Green variety a try. I am not sorry I picked this one! It is, by far, the most unique tea I've ever had. The layers of flavoring are complex and definitely meant to be savored. You immediately taste the burst of currant--juicy and sweet. The cardamom is subtle, but adds a balance. Because what hits you next is the amazing Raw Green Rooibos--clean, fresh, herbal. It is just sweet enough for this Southern Gal (with a little sweetener) but so fresh and uplifting, PERFECT for ice tea on a hot humid day. I can't wait to try the other varieties! |
| Really tasty and healthy too | August 15, 2011 | |
| This tea has become one of my regulars for when I want a flavorful, slightly fruity tea but don't want caffeine. I like it hot but I bet it is good iced too. Green rooibos is so healthy. |
