A fruit tea built on rooibos rather than hibiscus, and that swap is the whole story. Most strawberry teas lean on hibiscus for colour and tang, which is what makes them taste thin and sharp; here the South African red bush gives a smooth, nutty, full body that holds the jammy strawberry up instead of letting it go acidic. The fruit is vibrant and the berry aroma off the cup is genuine. Naturally caffeine-free, so it works any time including last thing. Against the Teapigs Rooibos Creme Caramel we also stock, that one is the dessert-sweet evening cup and this is the brighter, fruitier daytime one, choose on whether you want toffee or berries with your red bush. The one honest caveat: rooibos has its own earthy-woody signature, so if you have disliked redbush before, the strawberry softens but does not hide it. If you are fine with rooibos, this is one of the better-judged fruit versions, and excellent iced. Skip the soft-drink line; it is a clean, naturally sweet everyday cup.
Tropical Sun Rooibos and Strawberry is a simple and delicious way to enjoy the naturally sweet taste of South African Red Bush with a fruity twist. This 40g pack contains 20 tea bags that blend the earthy and nutty profile of rooibos with the juicy aroma of summer strawberries.
