From Adagio Teas

This blend of rooibos, vanilla, and Chai spice will dance on your palate, and sing to your soul. Beautiful clear and bright cup, with a crisp and tangy-sweet flavor. The heat of the spices is balanced beautifully with the natural smooth, mellow quality of the rooibos. Naturally caffeine-free for an anytime treat. We suggest two heaping teaspoons per 8 oz cup. Sugar, cream or soy if desired.

You’ve probably heard of vanilla beans, but did you know they’re actually a fruit? The vanilla orchid grows as a vine on support trees, with vines growing, at least in the wild, as high as they can reach. In industrial settings, new growth is manually turned down to stay at human height. Flowers are then pollinated via pollinators like bees or hummingbirds or by hand-pollination, with one pod resulting from each flower. Rooibos, a bush-like plant from South Africa, isn’t quite as hard to produce, with the leaves themselves being used to make tea after oxidization.

Herbal Tea | No caffeine | Steep at 212° for 7-10 minutes.

First Rooibos for me and I thourghly enjoyed this tea. I added a little amber sugar which mellowed out the spice a little and brought out the vanilla and a splash of milk helped make it nice and smooth. I had an upset stomach at the time and this really helped to settle it down. This will be kept around my house more often now.

Vanilla is the star of this tea and it should be. It’s a nice soothing treat at the end of the day. Although the vanilla is at the fore front the other spices do hit afterwards. After I swallowed the third sip I could taste them more, which made me even happier since I love chai. When I first smelled it before brewing I was a little worried that the other spices would be lost. They are there…

This is one of the first teas I found that I did not need to sweeten (hot tea has not always been my thing), because the vanilla really lends a subtle sweetness to the rooibos. I highly recommend this tea.

I’m kind of disappointed in this one. It came out tasting more like cinnamon flavored water. I couldn’t taste or smell the vanilla in it at all. I added a little skim milk, hoping to boost the flavor a little, but I think I only managed to dilute it. Might try it again with a longer steep and using an extra spoonful.

I am finishing a cup of this caffeine free tea hot made with water and a touch of agave nectar. The spices are very nice and not overpowering. The agave seems to mellow the spices only slightly. I didn’t use any milk or other spices. The vanilla is extremely mild.. I might actually consider adding a drop of pure vanilla to my next cup, which I may try with almond milk…

Really enjoying this the second time around. Can’t see how I didn’t appreciate more the first time. Extremely smooth with just a hint of spice.
