Best Non-Caffeinated Tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This tea is a household hit, especially later in the day when we’re avoiding consuming caffeine. Vanilla and strawberry go so well together, and I find this tea is much better than the Strawberry Shortcake tea (which is too sweet for my tastes). I wish we could get refills of this one instead of tins.

Fantastic iced tea
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I’m not usually a strawberry person, but red rooibos tea and vanilla are favorites. Thought I’d give it a try. Well, I have to say that, for me, it is much better cold than hot. For me the flavors meld together better cold. I’m thinking this is going to be a new addition to my Summer iced tea rotation, especially since Young Queen Charlotte is out of stock. :(

Strawberry, vanilla tea (mom)
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I absolutely love this tea. My daughter got me some for mother's day. After my first cup, I immediately ordered more. It's best with a spoonful of vanilla non dairy creamer added (the dry stuff) it is delish!!

Competing flavors
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars

The flavor of the strawberry competes with the rooibos, instead of complimenting it. It doesn't taste at all like strawberries. I got this as a mother's Day gift and am very disappointed.

I first bought this tea for my mom (big shock, I know!) one Christmas when I was looking to try something new I hadn't gotten her before. It was a huge sucess!

Blended to Perfection!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

I have roughly half of all Republic of Tea blends, and this strawberry tastes delicious by itself, but even better when blended with other flavors. For example, I like to drink tea out of a very large mug (15oz or more), so 1 tea bag makes for a weak cup of tea. One day I blended it with the Aronia Elderberry Rooibos tea, and discovered a combination that I now drink almost every night. The elderberry provides the probiotics for my gut, and the strawberry makes for a sweeter tea overall. By itself it's lovely, if not a bit heavy on the vanilla, but blended it's positively perfect!

I have been a regular customer at R of Tea, and have never complained before.! I love almost every tea I've bought over the years. And even if I don't "LOVE" the tea, I like it and will use it. Not so with this MOM tea. I have to say I have never, EVER drank such a putrid tasting tea. Horrible stuff. I am returning.

I'm addicted (in a good way)
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This tea was gifted to me by my step-mom and I'm totally hooked!! It was so uniquely delicious, I drank it every day until I ran out. That prompted me to RoT's lovely website to restock because I can't live without it now. It's fruity but not too sweet; great with a little cream or almond milk, hot or cold, day or night. Dare I say, it may just replace coffee and I never thought I'd say that about something caffeine free. Mom really is the best 😍

Childhood Memories
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

This tea truly tastes like strawberries and warm vanilla. It reminds me of my childhood and is so comforting. l prefer this to the Strawberry Shortcake tea because I find the hibiscus in that tea adds unnecessary tartness. It is great as a dessert tea and to satisy a sweet tooth. I will be repurchasing this tea - and sending one to my mother as well :)

Love the strawberry, not so much the vanilla
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars

This tea was part of my discovery that I just am not partial to this company's vanilla flavoring. I expected a soft strawberry-shortcake-like scent and flavor, but it was harsh and I just didn't enjoy it. My boyfriend said it wasn't his thing because of the strawberry, but he had the whole tin over the course of a few months anyway.

Mild and light
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars

Very mild sweetness with a lovely fragrance. Definitely for those who aren't fans of strong flavors. It does have an odd aftertaste, but that might just be me since I'm very new to tea and it might just be how rooibos tastes. A little bit of lemon does it good.

Evening tea

So nice to find a wonderful flavor in a tea that is not full of caffeine. The vanilla and strawberry give the red rooibos a sweeter flavor. So glad they sell this year round, was afraid it was special for Mother's Day. Made a nice gift I gave a friend on Mother's Day, because I am close to her sons, and I admire the job she has done raising them. So glad I bought some for myself! This tea is terrific??

I absolutely LOVE this tea and enjoy it hot! To me, it has even more of a strawberry taste than the Strawberry Chocolate tea has, and the secondary vanilla flavor makes it perfect! Yesterday I made a batch of iced tea with it and it's the best strawberry iced tea I've ever had... and MUCH healthier than using a sugar-loaded strawberry syrup for flavoring. With healthy Rooibos tea as its base, it just doesn't get any better. Now, if only TROT will decide to sell it in bulk.....
