A classic blend with a twist, using South African Rooibos. Zesty fresh citrus aroma, slightly dry, with a rounded and balanced orange rind flavor. The pleasantly smooth texture from the Rooibos (not as dry and brisk as traditional Earl Grey made from black tea) lingers with citrus sweetness. Naturally caffeine-free.

AI Bot Summary
based on most popular reviews
“ The Rooibos Earl Grey tea receives mixed feedback, with its decaffeinated base appealing to many. Its mild bergamot aroma and the presence of blue cornflowers add to its allure. Users adjusting steeping temperatures note diminished woody flavors, instead experiencing a pleasant nuttiness. The blend is described as a milder, nuttier version of Earl Grey Bravo, with pleasant orange flavors emerging as it cools. Some appreciate the smooth blend of rooibos and Earl Grey, citing it as a favorite evening choice due to its caffeine-free nature. However, others find the rooibos too dominant or the combination unappealing, suggesting it's an acquired taste. ”

“ An uplifting spin on 2 different tastes. The Earl Grey pairs incredibly well with the rooibos, and each mellow the other out. A great alternative to early morning caffein when you still need your cup-o-grey but don't want to be wired. ”

**Tea Name: Rooibos Earl Grey**
**Rating: ★★★☆☆ (3/5)**
---
**Arom Appeal:**
Rooibos Earl Grey opens with a unique blend of earthy rooibos and the classic citrusy scent of bergamot. The aroma is intriguing and pleasant, though not as strong as traditional Earl Grey.
**Flavor Profile:**
The flavor of this tea is a blend of sweet, earthy rooibos with the distinctive, slightly tangy notes of bergamot. While the combination is interesting, the bergamot flavor is somewhat muted, making the overall taste less vibrant than expected.
**Brewing Experience:**
Brewing Rooibos Earl Grey is simple and straightforward. A steeping time of 5-7 minutes at 212°F produces a deep red infusion. The aroma during brewing is pleasant but lacks the intensity typical of Earl Grey.
**Quality and Freshness:**
The quality of the tea is evident in the whole rooibos leaves and the natural bergamot oil used. The ingredients are fresh and well-preserved, contributing to a smooth and clean taste, though the bergamot could be more pronounced.
**Value for Money:**
Rooibos Earl Grey offers reasonable value for money. It’s a good choice for those who enjoy rooibos and want to try a variation with bergamot, but it might not fully satisfy traditional Earl Grey enthusiasts due to its milder flavor.
**Overall Experience:**
In summary, Rooibos Earl Grey from Adagio Teas is an interesting twist on the classic blend. Its unique combination of rooibos and bergamot provides a different tea experience. However, the muted bergamot flavor leaves it falling short of the boldness expected in an Earl Grey.

Recommended for those looking to explore new rooibos blends, but traditional Earl Grey lovers might find it lacking. Enjoy the unique twist of Rooibos Earl Grey!

“ Smelled wonderful but tasted a bit bland. Maybe if it was steeped longer it would have been a more savored taste. ”

Ingredients & Lore
blended with rooibos tea, orange, blue cornflowers & natural bergamot flavor
We import rooibos directly from one farmer in Clanwilliam, South Africa who plants, harvests, and processes with care. The processing, which includes sorting and spreading the leaves for oxidation by hand, makes our rooibos leaves as pretty as they are delicious. No wonder the earliest Dutch settlers embraced rooibos as an alternative to the expensive black tea! We add just the right bergamot flavoring and orange to make this a stand-out alternative to the classic Earl Grey tea. With or without a slice of lemon, you'll enjoy the natural sweetness of organic rooibos with a crisp, brisk citrusy edge.Raw Honey for Rooibos

Meet our rooibos farmer, Niklaas Jakobus Slinger
To ensure the best quality and value, we import our teas directly from the countries in which they are grown, working closely with the farmers who tender them. Our Roots Campaign connects our customers with the rich stories and the farmers behind some of our most popular teas.
How long have you been growing tea?
“32 years. I started working as a laborer on a neighboring Rooibos Farm and for the past 14 years I have been growing Rooibos on my own farm.”
What got you started in the tea industry?
“I grew up on a Rooibos Farm. After I left home, I worked on different farms producing a wide variety of agricultural products, but my love for Rooibos and the area in which I grew up brought me back home. Since I was a small boy, I dreamed about owning my own Rooibos Farm and 14 years ago my dream came true with the help of my previous employer who helped me to loan money to purchase my own Rooibos farm.”
Can you describe a typical day out in the field? How many hours would that be?
“During Harvesting season (January - April), I leave home at 05:00 in the morning to turn the Rooibos fermentation heaps on the drying yard. I then go to the fields and start harvesting the Rooibos. At 10:00 I return to the drying yard to open the fermentation heaps and spread the Rooibos thin and evenly to dry. I then continue harvesting till we break for lunch at 12:30. After lunch (14:00) I take the harvested Rooibos to the drying yard for further processing. After cutting and bruising the tea is put into fermentation heaps around 18:00. After that we collect the dried Rooibos from the drying yard. My day ends at around 19:30. A typical working day is around 13 hours during harvesting season.”
