This tea smells like pipe tobacco. Oddly enough it's actually quite good. It is a bit bland on its own but with a little sweetener the flavors pop.

I like the fact that the flavoring in this tea is not overpowering. I always keep some pure unflavored rooibos on hand to blend with some of the stronger flavored ones, but this is one rooibos blend I can drink just the way it is. I enjoy the subtle nutty flavor and tend to drink it in the evening because I find it to be a very relaxing drink.

Not a fan. Dry loose teas itself has a very strong rum/alcohol smell. Hardly any flavor at all when brewed. Might work well as a base to blend with other teas but can't stand on its own. The smell after brewing is mild and pleasant enough but nothing special here in my book.

Rooibos is mixed with a huge variety of flavorings, like bread accepting just about anything you throw on it. But complementing the natural red Rooibos flavor isn't particularly easy. This Mildly flavored and mildly interesting attempt is at least not offensive or clumsy, but I'd drink unflavored Rooibos just as soon.

Sorry, but this tea did not fit the bill for a chocolate and nutty flavor. I found it to be vary bland. I used a tablespoon and steaped for the full 10 minutes. I think I will stick to Teavana's Choconut green tea. Add more chocolate please!

First of all let me state that I am a red rooibos fan and love chocolate. I thought I would LOVE this tea, but I don't. I ordered a sample first. which was more chocolatey than my current batch. This was my first rum flavored tea and I have to say that it just doesn't do it for me. Not very chocolatey or nutty. I would rather have white chocolate toffee any day. Will not order again and am considering sending back. Definately order the sample first and see what you think.

This was a tasty, good for after dinner tea. You need to use more tea to give it the fuller body I like. I'm not a huge mint fan, so the fact that the mint wasn't overwhelming pleased me, but it definately could have used more chocolate flavor. Nice, but not great.

This is one of my favourite teas. It is rich in vanilla flavour and seems decadent. Much more vanilla flavour than the vanilla flavoured black tea.

My favorite vatriety of Rooibos so far. The rum flavor is distinct yet not overwhelming. The cocoa blends well with it and enhances its body. The aftertaste is excellent and lasting. Definitely worth every penny.

My favorite so far. If you're a cocoa drinker, you'll probably like it. I think I like that the other flavors are strong and don't take a back seat to the rooibus. I love it with cream.

Delicious aroma and taste. Have also ordered more after first getting the sample size.
Reviewer: Ellen Mohnkern,
I think the Rooibos Savannah is indescribably delicious. My first order was just a taste test, but the second order was for the two pound bag!
Reviewer: MMS,
This is a lovely thing. It is enjoyable just to waft under the nose and sniff, rather like a nice drink. And, in that spirit, it makes a good alternative, after-dinner drink for those who would rather pass on alcohol.
Reviewer: Sharon (HI),
The first thing I noticed about this tea was the fragrance of rum. I thought that the rum fragrance would not be carried in the flavoring very strongly as with some fragranced teas, I was pleasantly surprised. The deep amber liquid is so pretty and the taste is truly unique.
Reviewer: Rachel,
Excellent flavor. Full bodied yet not over powering. Perfect blend of nuttiness and chocolate. A
Reviewer: Laurel B.,
This blend is simply delicious. The flavor and aroma of the rum is wonderful. The thing that is most enjoyable is how genuine the rum flavor starts and finishes with no artificial aftertaste whatsoever. Order with confidence - you will not be disappointed.
Reviewer: Lori,
I agree with MMS (and I think we like a lot of the same teas). I decided to try a sample of rooibos Savannah, and enjoyed it. It seems like specialteas never fails when it comes to flavoring: it is always balanced.
