South African Red Rooibos Tea

Absolutely lovely tea, smells divine just in the bag. I bought this to make my own blend of earl grey, saffron, and bergamot tea and it is perfect! Lovely flavor and very fair price for the amount of tea and it being organic. This will be my go to for sure and I am curious to try any others offered by this brand.

It is hard to find organic green rooibus that is looseleaf and in bulk. This tea is delicious. My favorite way to prepare it is with a bit of sugar and cream after I’ve whipped it a bit. It’s very satisfying - and gives me the same satisfaction that coffee does but without any caffeine. I will continue buying. Great quality and price.

I have really been enjoying this tea! It is a very smooth non-bitter black tea, it is larger leaves and given area to rehydrate produces a dark red brown liqueur that with a drop of honey is very satisfying. I will order this tea again, and have been very pleased with this name brand overall! Thank you for selling such excellent tea!

Recently I have been trying out various organic loose-leaf teas, especially ones with tropical flavors. I was kind of excited when I read about the Positively Tea brand because the flavor combinations sounded good and because they didn't list "natural flavors" that I have found tend to be associated with unpleasant chemical-y tastes (even in supposedly organic brands). I decided to try this flavor first, because it had some positive reviews. I figured it would give me a sense of the quality of the tea, so that I could decide if I wanted to try other items. This tea does not have anything objectionable about it. It does not taste like chemicals to me, and the flavor tastes like the passion fruit that it says it's supposed to be, and it does not taste unpleasant. You would think that would be a low bar, especially when buying organic, but there are a lot of bad products out there. Maybe it's because certified organic products can have non-organic ingredients in them, I don't know. What is surprising is that the tea does not taste much like, um, tea. Even when I tried brewing it strong and let it sit for a long time, the black tea flavor is very mild. So much so that I feel like the thing to do is to mix it half and half with some black tea (e.g. from Frontier) to beef it up. Probably organic tea in this price range should not be expected to be particularly good quality. Maybe if this company were to sell higher-quality tea with these kinds of flavors for somewhere under $30 a pound, rather than somewhere under $20 a pound, it would be of the quality that I would hope for. I find it hard to justify $15 for three ounces, but somewhat more money for better quality would be worth paying for. Maybe Positively Tea should consider a premium line?? As comparison: Frontier (which I think of as baseline organic tea) makes a few flavored tea that I can get for $30-40 a pound online (though not so much on Amazon), and they are pretty good. But there is not enough flavor variety. I bought a couple of bags of Davidson's and found it undrinkable, so at least Positively Tea seems better than that! This seems to me to be similar to Numi (which admittedly I've only had in tea bags rather than loose leaf). Interesting flavors, but using lesser-quality tea. Not bad tea, just not very good tea. The tea quality of Mighty Leaf organic seems a smidge higher, though admittedly I've only had that in those little pouches and of course most of their interesting flavors are non-organic (with the non-organic being, in my recent experience, undrinkable too). Apparently organic is especially important in tea because the pesticides are sprayed on the leaves and not washed off before the leaves are dried. And the selection of organic flavored loose-leaf teas is sparse enough that I might buy another flavor from this line and see what it's like. i really think there's a niche in the marketplace for a higher-quality tea at a slightly higher price to be considered though.

This is an outstanding method of “waking up” every morning. Unlike other loose leaf teas, this one has a mild taste but the presentation after the first sip is worthwhile, that is, extraordinary. I recommend it highly, with the right tea ball, of course, for proper immersion.

I suppose it's my bad that I didn't look more closely as to what the meaning of "creme" is or the list of ingredients, but it hardly crossed my mind that I needed to. I figured Earl Grey is Earl Grey. And now in hindsight, it takes an awful lot of searching in the product description that this tea is cut with cornflowers. My first suspicion of something wrong was when I opened the package and found that among the black tea leaves were lots of little blue flecks. The packaging is also blue and at first I thought some of the plastic package had broken off. It took me awahile to figure out it was cut, and that cornflowers can be blue. I'm not clear why this was done other than to bulk up the package, but if it was done for taste - is that the "creme"? - then that would explain why this tea does NOT taste at all like Earl Grey tea. I won't say it's awful. After all how can something with no taste at all be awful. But it is kind of a shock that I can't discern anything like Earl Grey. And the punchline to it is that when I went to return it, it said it is non-returnable. I'll probably end up throwing this out.

Absolutely the best organic loose leaf tea for the price! Delicious and most people that have had my tea think it’s been sweetened a little! Highly recommend!

Go loose leaf, bags are full of garbage. This will get you a premium cup of tea, for a non-premium price. The Irish breakfast is full on flavor and you're sure to enjoy it at any time of the day.
