Good Hope Vanilla Red Full-Leaf Tea Reviews

This is a really nice tea, however it requires an extra fine filter as the rooibos is very thin. Very smooth with some sugar.

this is a very tasteful tea. I got the tea leaves and it brews into a great tasting tea to drink while reading or relaxing.

I was introduced to Roobios tea last fall and this blend has quickly become my favorite! The tea is smooth- no bitterness, and is lovely hot or cold. The added hint of vanilla rounds out the flavor nicely. A wonderful discovery if you want to try something different.

Good Hope Vanilla has a mellow vanilla flavor with caramel notes. I love chai and caramel-vanilla black teas, but I don’t want to drink them late at night because of the caffeine. Good Hope Vanilla is a nice decaf alternative to my daytime favorites. Topped with frothy milk and a sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar, it’s a delightful late-night beverage.

The good hope vanilla red tea is excellent. I’ve been drinking it almost every night. It’s smooth and sweet and a great option later in the day when I don’t want caffeine.

Very smooth & vanillee, i mix mine w/ yerba mate, green roobios &/ or honeybush. If u prefer MORE vanilla flavor, then i suggest an extract, u know like for baking. I prefer honeybush b/c it isn't as tangy, but both are hydrating & great to drink ALL day. Also, all 4 are very versatile to blend w/ black, green or white teas. I like to try various mixes wkly.

I’m not big on herbal or decaf tea which makes finding a caffeine free tea nearly impossible, unless you know the wonder that is Rooibos tea. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Good Hope Vanilla! I drink this tea most evenings after dinner. The flavor of this Rooibos is indescribable along with the vanilla flavor makes this tea a must have! I plan on reordering this tea without a doubt.

I truly love this tea. Its safe to say that nobody loves vanilla more then me. This tea delivers true vanilla flavor. Will be a repeat buyer of this tea.

This red tea is very smooth. It does not have the harsh after taste that some black tea may have. The more than a hint of vanilla is great for us vanilla bean lovers. An overall great find and highly recommended tea.

I LOVE rooibos tea and this one is delectable! I bought it to drink at bed time because it has no caffeine and it's so soothing and relaxing. You can easily taste the vanilla and the flavor is good on its own. If you like rooibos tea you'll love this one.

I was hesitant to try a red tea. I always had black or green tea. Now I know what I've been missing!! The taste is mild and smooth. I add a bit of honey to sweeten. I have found a new caffeine free tea!

I bought the sampler and love it! Of course, the other reviews pushed me toward it as well. It really is a great tasting tea. You don't need to add sweetener unless you like candied tea haha. It chased my headaches away. My muscles were less tense. It's amazingly soothing. I will order a bigger container, soon.

I started drinking this tea when I cut out caffeine. It's perfect in its simplicity. It doesn't need anything to sweeten it, it's excellent just as it is. Rooibos is definitely one of my favorite teas, and I think this one is the best.

I have finally found MY tea. I have tried so many different teas and not been impressed with any of them until now. This is by far the best tea ever. Not too bitter and just sweet enough. I add nothing to it. Great balance of vanilla flavor. Can't wait to try this iced.

I drink a hot cup in the morning and make a liter/quart more for ice tea for the afternoon. No caffine and double the anti-toxins and good stuff of green tea. I still drink a cup of coffee a day. My wife, who only drinks tea, does not like the red teas as much--and it isn't just the lack of caffine.

This is my favorite tea. It's even better than the tea bag version - a stronger, deeper flavor. Not too sweet or bitter. A perfect blend of flavors.

Wow, this tea is amazing. It sounded too simple to be 'that good' but when I tried it I have to admit I immediately wished I'd bought the larger size instead of the taster tin (loose). I usually prefer sweetener in my tea but this really doesn't need it so I drink it bare. Red Tea is arguably the 'healthiest' tea there is, and that's probably why I gravitate towards it even more when I'm ill. The high amount of polyphenols in the tea is what aids you in the fight against viruses and bacteria, which in turn might (or in my case usually) cause you to feel better, faster. Anyway, it's a wonderful tea and I do plan on ordering it again before I run out. In all honesty it is probably my favorite red tea!

My first introduction to this tea was years ago -- I was sick with a bad cold/flu combo and went to the cafe at our local (now long gone) Borders. The gal behind the counter recommended this to help me get better. It helped greatly. I bought a can of the tea, took it home, and every time one of us got sick, we had it and it sped our recovery along or worked as a preventative. From then on, I was sold on rooibos tea. Only... I've had others. And they didn't work. At all. They tasted okay but I never felt any better drinking them. And none of them taste as good as Good Hope Vanilla. I'm back to Good Hope Vanilla ONLY for our rooibos tea option. Not only is it delicious (especially with honey), but our whole family was feeling "off", I made a big pot, we all had a couple of cups, and suddenly everyone felt well again. It's also great if you feel wonderful and just want to have something delicious. An excellent tea with a wonderful fragrance.

Smooth vanilla taste, but not too strong or sweet. A nice breakfast, snack or dessert tea.

For me, this is the best all around tea I have in my home. Everyone I give it to loves the deep aroma and full bodied taste of vanilla, without ever being overpowering. The red tea is just gorgeous, and if you forget to steep it a bit too long, it doesn't matter. It never goes bitter!!! like so many others. I would highly recommend trying this blend. I particularly like it on cool days and each evening prior to bed. Very calming effect!

I've been ordering this tea for years. Once I didn't have any when my book group came over, and one of the members wanted "the tea you always serve". She was very disappointed when I told her I had run out. Tried the loose leaf variety for the first time and am very happy with it.

This mellow tea is good anytime. I like to mix it with a bit of Cardamom Cinnamon, add a squeeze of lemon and some sweetener. Terrific dessert!
