Taster’s Review:
I have mentioned several times the fact that I’m not a particular fan of plain, unflavored rooibos. That being said, I have found a significant difference in flavor between organic and conventionally grown rooibos, and I prefer organic. In fact, while I do not usually enjoy unflavored, conventionally grown rooibos, I actually do enjoy unflavored, organic rooibos.
And, apparently, the consumption of rooibos is good for one’s skin, due to the fact that the South African herb contains alpha-hydroxy acids. And that is a good reason to start drinking more rooibos… so if I am going to drink it, I want to enjoy it! And I am enjoying this. It’s not my favorite, but, it is tasty and a nice tisane to enjoy later in the evening, when I’m trying to limit my caffeine intake, as it’s a naturally caffeine-free tisane.
This unflavored rooibos from Supple Skin Boutique is nice, with a woody undertone and a pleasantly sweet, nutty overtone. The “funky sweet aftertaste” that I sometimes mention when I write about rooibos is not as prevalent with this organic rooibos as it is with the conventionally grown rooibos, which is why I tend to prefer the herb to be organically grown.
A tasty way to achieve a healthy glow!
