I am honestly suprised no one has done a review on a Rooibas blend yet. Rooibas is the "Red Tea" of Africa. Compared to Black and Green tea, it tends to have a higher level of antioxidants and lower levels of caffeine
Now, I have to look a bit, but I believe Tazo makes a good Rooibas.
Color: A Roobas will have a dark reddish color color when steeped properly. Furthermore, to at least my tastebuds at least, it has a naturally sweeter flavor. Best of all, unlike most Green and White tea commercial varieties, I haven't seen a lot of commercially available varieties of Rooibas that are "Fruited" (by that I mean that you dont see a lot of Rooibas/Pommegranitite teas. *shudder*).

Better steer clear of Celestial Seasonings then; they've paired Rooibos with several additions.
I rather like their Madagascar Vanilla Red for the sweet touch of Madagascar vanilla with the African rooibos. I find it a nice, relaxing-time cup, though occasionally have it at breakfast as well.
But, they also have "fruited" versions including Orange Mango and the 'dreaded' Pomegranate, in addition to a 'spice' version, all blended with rooibos tea.
