A friend bought this and didn’t like it, so I’m giving it a go. Not a fan of red rooibos, so it has that against it from the start. It has the faintest scent of spices. Cinnamon? The flavors are almost soapy on the sip. Generic floral? I couldn’t name any fruit in this mix. There is a little bit of rooibos woodsiness in there, but the strange flavor covers most of what I dislike in rooibos. Something in it is making my throat tingle, like the beginning of an itch that makes you cough. Not for me, but glad to have tried it.
