Love this tea iced! Yummy! Packaged with care and consideration. Consistently tangy delicious. Alas, its very pricy. I am getting pressure from my husband to make my own version of this to save money.

I've tried other loose leaf tea. Hands down Rishi has the best quality. Fresh and full of flavor.

I'm really giving the Rishi Tea company the 5 stars for their good practices & customer service and the quality of their teas.
This particular tea? ....Jury's still out....waiting til after I try it iced too.
I had a favorite Rooibos Tea Blend for YEARS but am now aware that the tea bags it is packaged in, is leeching plastic into my tea. I've been on the hunt for something similar ever since. I won't mention the other company (I wish they'd change their tea bags to paper)....but the blend name was "African Sunset".
This Rishi "Scarlet" tea is a pretty good tea, but the fruity, tarty, tangy flavors overpower the rooibos flavor. It's a great combo.....it's just that the ratio is a bit off (it's a taste preference thing & I'm sure others would favor the rooibos flavor in the background rather than being more present in the tea...for my personal tastebuds, the fruity tangy notes overpower the rooibos. It's a great combo, but the ratio needs to put the rooibos and the other ingredients at about equal rather than the rooibos being almost undetectable).
I'm glad I ordered the sample packets.....and it's pretty good. I'm hoping it tastes much better when I add ice on a hot day.
But by all means.....put your trust in this company, and whatever tea you like best...this is the place to get it.
