Review: In an effort to get better quality sleep, I have started drinking rooibos tisane in the late afternoons and evenings. Much to my surprise, I find that I am quite enjoying rooibos, not as a tea substitute, but as a delicious beverage in its own right: Adagio’s Rooibos Mango is a case in point.

The liquor is lovely deep orange, with a nose of honey, nuts and a hint of fruit. There is nothing artificial, overwhelming, or “perfumy” about the mango scent. Indeed, the mango flavor is more in the background supporting the nutty rooibos. I tried it both with and without liquid steviaand found it to be tasty both ways, though, as (almost) always, I prefer this tisane without sweetener.

This rooibos was also robust enough to remind me of true tea, with some similarity to a zingy Ceylon or Darjeeling.  It isn’t the real thing, of course, but quite good nonetheless. You can get about two infusions out of this rooibos.

Recommendation: This is a well-crafted flavored rooibos with a robust, deep flavor. Quite tasty with sweetener, but doesn’t really need it.
