rooibos almond

Combining savory almond flavor with the bright, sweet taste of Rooibos herbal tea. Smooth and almost marzipan sweet, with a soft clean finish. Our Rooibos Almond is great on its own, as well as the perfect, mellow dessert complement. Naturally caffeine free. Steep at 212°F for 5 minutes

      I thought this was delicious. I really love the almond flavor.

      A good tisane. Not radically different from the plain rooibos - woody and sweet, but this one also has a gentle nutty tone to it.

    • 

      This has a pleasant sweet wood smell. Almost a cigar tobacco smell with a hint of almond. After steeping, more almond aroma comes out. It's okay hit, but cold brings out more almond flavor. This is good as unsweetened iced tea.

      Tonally Latte yum with some pumpkin spice honey and some almond milk. Oh, boy the taste of the savory but semi sweet marzipan flavor just makes me very happy and also a perfect Fall-Autumn tea.

    • 

      The taste and aroma of almonds blends perfectly with the woodsy flavor of rooibos. I prefer this tea hot, and it's heavenly as a latte or blended with other teas, like a black vanilla or cinnamon based flavored tea. Yum!

      This marries perfectly my 2 faves...rooibos and almond, a tisane match made in heaven.

      Taste like marzipan in a cup! So good with milk. Pairs well with milk!

      Tasty flavored rooibos tea. The almond flavor works well with the red rooibos, which I am not usually fond of. I steeped at 212 degrees for 5 minutes and added sweetener.

      My husband and I love this tea before bed. We also mix with rooibos orange or honeybush chocolate.

      Very good hot or warm. I don't quite care for it cold. I've blended it with other Adagio flavors, it's okay but I preferer blending with the Adagio caramel.

      This one shocked me, as I'm usually a hater of anything rooibos. Somehow, the almond obscured the usually (to me nasty taste of the rooibos, and I kind of enjoyed this one! I got through almost the entire cup! Usually, roo makes me nauseous and I dump the cup after one sip. Very strange...

      I'm afraid this isn't the drink for me. To my taste buds, rooibos often tastes medicinal, but adding almond to the mix amplifies it greatly. Granted, I'm not the kind of person who enjoys almond flavoring in tea so I'm definitely biased.

    • 

      What a great balance: the almond flavoring is strong enough to mask the medicinal aspect of red rooibos, and the rooibos adds a natural sweetness to the almond. It's a match that is definitely after-dinner dessert-worthy. (212°F x 5 min).

      This is a strong almond flavored tea. It had almost an artificial flavor in the almond but it wasn't took bad. I enjoy rooibos a lot so this one was good

      Delicious, sweet cup of nutty goodness! The almond flavor and aroma are perfect and blend with the rooibos to make a really nice cup.

      In the bag, strong marzipan/almond smell. i love marzipan, so i was excited to try this. Once brewed, it just tastes like rooibos. Hot and cold, just red rooibos. Kind of dissapointing.

    • 

      Sweet, but moreso Rooibos sweet than almond. Pleasant but a bit weak on flavor

    • 

      It’s ok but not enough almond flavor and I don’t like the plain rooibos very much.

    • 

      The almond flavor is very strong! In it's product description it is likened to marzipan and I tell you, that is spot on. As someone who is actually not a fan of super strong almond, I don't think I would drink this on it's own again. But I'm definitely going to experiment with mixing it.

    • 

      Like all adagio almond teas, this is a delectable almond flavor. I prefer the black to the rooibos, but if you're caffeine averse this is a perfectly good choice.

    • 

      Love almondy teas. This wasn't anything special, but that's what you need sometimes.

    • 

      This tea was excellent. With a spoonful of sugar, it tasted just like marzipan. I'm not usually a fan of rooibos tea, but I would definitely drink this again.

    • 

      Not much almond flavor, mostly tastes like a basic rooibos

    • 

      I love rooibos teas because they ate naturally decaffinated. This smells so almondy once the bag is open, after brewing, with a little stevia the taste of almond comes at the back end after the swallow. Like marzipan.:)

    • 

      This was just ok for me. It would probably be good blending with other flavors though.

    • 

      Don’t know why but it smelled like cherries and just tasted very meh.

    • 

      This was ok. It smelled really good in the package, once brewed the almond flavor was there.

    • 

      This has a super strong, almost overpowering almond marzipan scent and flavor. I usually have to tone it down by blending with other flavors, but it's good if you want something heavily almond flavored.

      Fantastic dessert tea. I love marzipan and almond flavors so this was perfect for me. It blends so well with the rooibos.

      Great flavor. Not too strong. A nice smooth tea. Will buy again.

      The almond flavor was a little overwhelming. It almost tasted like if I poured almond extract in my tea.
