I keep trying this, really wanting to like it, but it tastes like robatussin.

And I generally really like things that other people think taste medicinal. (see: Moxie)

Hey there! Good to see a thread about this! I have some Rooibos CHAI tea, and I really like it. It's the only kind of tea I have in my tea cabinet that has no caffeine. I normally drink a lot of green and black tea, but sometimes it's nice to have the Rooibos Chai. It tastes cinnamony and soothing.

I like rooibos, it's supposed to have all sorts of lovely trace minerals and antioxidant in it too, I think.

It tastes like licking the leftover sludge from mountaintop sulfur minings.

And hurrah! the name translates as 'red bush'. Try one flavoured with honey if you don't like the medicinal taste.

Ahhhh southern African foodstuffs...

I really like yohimbe tea though. But it kinda makes you horny and all that.

Oh no! horniness! oh no?

I cannot live without Rooiboos tea I think it tastes so delicious it is almost my favorite tea and is especially yummy on ICE

My favorite teas right now are made from flowers, and those flowers are chamomile and hibiscus.

I'm really upset that I misspelled "robitussin".

I'll try the rooibus with honey.

Good with vanilla flavor, too.

John, you're my new god. I should have realized that would be great after all the times I've left a cup out overnight and drank it cold the next morning.

Sweet, sweet bliss.

Out of curiosity, where are you located, Colin?

― bimble (bimble), Saturday, 8 May 2004 02:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm in Portland, Maine.

How's the weather? I've never heard of Earl Gray with Rooibos in it. Never seen it at any of the stores here.
