I am happy with quality of this tea, price and delivery time. South African Food Company is a very reliable source so far. I will keep on buying from them.Barbara
This is a wonderful tea - rich in flavor, good for you and without caffeine
I love this tea and drink several cups daily. The taste is very different however. I just bought 4 packages of Freshpak rooibos tea with an expiration date of Dec 18, 2009. These are packaged differently and do not reference South Africa on the top. The tea is much milder and actually a bit sweet. I am very disappointed that the formulation seems to have been changed.
and although the shipping price is a bit high for something so light in weight, I can't complain because the tea is even better than I remember it. In the '70s there was an herbal tea that I really loved from South Africa, but then came the boycott of South African goods and I could never again find it. Recently I did some research and found that the tea was once again available (though not by the brand name I knew) by the actual name of the tea "Rooibos".So I made an order through Amazon. For those who aren't familiar with Rooibos Tea, it is very similar to good Black tea in flavor, minus the bitter after taste and minus the caffeine and tannic acid, but with the anti-oxidants and other GOOD stuff. Refreshing and delicious stuff.
I started drinking this rooibos tea after cutting down on caffeine and have been loving it. It's nice and strong, but not overpoweringly so. A good sturdy drink for milk and sugar, but lightly sweet and even a tiny bit floral, and lovely to have just on its own.
