So this is one that’s been in my cupboard for at least three years, since it’s been discontinued that long.
I remember I used to love it but not now.
It’s unfortunate the description is their old style which is more cutesy than informative, with no ingredients list to speak of.
I’m telling you, there’s rooibos in this. Davidstea lied. Yeccccch. Minty hay. With mate. That should be the new name for this…if they ever bring it back.
Giving the rest to my friend, only a cup or two and she might enjoy it.
Glad I attempted this one first and followed up with a tastier tea (milk black) after I dumped this one out.
Rooibos
(That means “I hate rooibos”.)

I too am a rooibos hater.
Blech. I’m with you guys, but green rooibos I can tolerate, whereas red is just a disaster.
Add me! Rooibos blends always taste like medicine to me, no matter how hard I try to like some of them! Too bad, cause they are super healthy…
It’s got such a gross taste to it! The ONLY rooibos I’ve been able to tolerate are the lemon/lime chiffon teas from Della Terra. Because the flavoring magically masks the hay taste.
I don’t think I’ve ever tried green rooibos!
Those are the only ones I’ve ever tolerated as well, though I don’t really drink them anymore. Green is much less offensive. :)
I agree with you Courtney, green rooibos is like a different tea, and it blends really well with anything fruity. The problem: there are very few green blends out there. I just recently bought one from Lupicia and it’s quite good. Davids used to have one also that wasn’t bad, I think it was called Green & Fruity…
Which one from Lupicia?

Yeah, green and fruity was quite alright. Not too Rooibos-y. There are a couple of other good ones I had from Dexter3657 but for the most part I also avoid it.
S&V have a few good green rooibos blends too. Coconut Macaroon was tasty.
I’m pretty sure green rooibos is used in the Della Terra blends, however I could be wrong. I’m with you guys; I stay away from red rooibos (usually, although I’ll try anything once) and find I get the scratchy throat thing with about 60% of them. Green rooibos though? All good. Candy Cane from Simpson & Vail, Lemon Meringue from Tealish are two of my green favs.
