Red Bush Rooibos Tea

I've just tried this for the first time, very nice! And what's even better is that I didn't add any sweetener and it's still gorgeous, the only tea (apart from green/herbal teas) that I've ever really enjoyed without sugar/sweetener! I added only a small splash of lactofree milk, but I think it could be as nice with no milk.
There's also the TickTock brand, might try that too.

Apparently it's caffeine free and very low in tannins, unlike ordinary tea, so as well as being very tasty it's very healthy, win win! :)
 
Oh I tried that a couple of years ago and chucked it in the bin!
Horrible stuff.
So when I was told to try green tea I was a little reluctant but green tea I like.
No milk no sugar sometimes fresh lemon juice in it.

That's a shame, can you remember which brand it was? I thought it smelled a bit odd when I first put the water in so was pleasantly surprised :)
It might be like chai, different brands taste quite different.

Well I bought some (Tick Tock) today and quite like it. Had it with and without milk and it's quite nice either way.

Like the idea that it's caffeine free :)

Thanks @rowan for introducing me to this :)

My pleasure! I got some tick-tock yesterday too, but wait till I've finished the red bush befopre trying it - I've lost count of how many opened boxes of various teas I've got open in the cupboard, really need to make some space and use some of them up!
