I got this as a free sample at the SF International Tea Festival. Republic of Tea was there, and they were very nice. This blend was created for their 20th anniversary.
Often times with RoT I find I really need two teabags instead of one to get my tea as strong as I would normally drink it. This definitely tastes like a rooibos and herb blend. It’s well balanced but nothing really stands out to me, aside from the minty aftertaste which I don’t really care for and the slightly medicinal flavor. Sorry to be a negative nelly, but I really did not care for this at all and did not finish the cup. I like the concept of the twenty herbs but I think there is too much going on here for me.

I’m the same way, Amy, with RoT – at least two tea bags per cup.
Note to self: avoid this one. Doesn’t sound good. Sorry it was a FAIL for you!
RoT is too pricey to require 2 bags. Apparently they intend for you to brew it one Dixie cup at a time :(
<== Agrees!
Well that’s one reason I don’t buy their stuff usually…
