Tasters Review:
This is my first encounter with Urban Tea and I am very excited about it!
Rooibos Garden has a powerful aroma and taste. The aroma is mostly Coconut and Lavender. And the taste is first and foremost Coconut and then the Lavender jumps in fairly fast after that first pop of coconut.
The rooibos flavor isn’t as intense as most rooibos can be but it still contributes to the natural sweetness to the taste…without it I think the floral notes could be bitter and the coconut more intense. With all of these ingredients together it seems to all meet in the middle quite nicely!
I will say that I prefer this one is better HOT than COLD.
If you are looking for an aromatic tea – give this one a whirl. The Lavender is VERY relaxing…perfect for the end of a day!

Taster’s Review:
This is a very flavorful cup of tea. It reminds me a bit of a hot & spicy cinnamon/orange tea, but with a delightful fruit-flavored twist.
The cinnamon dominates this cup, and it is on the warm side! It’s a bit like those sweet-hot cinnamon hearts. YUM!
Of the fruit flavors featured in this tea, the orange is the most prominent. It adds a lovely sweetness to the cup, and the cinnamon accents it so well. It’s very autumnal. I can also taste the peach, apple and papaya flavors. The cranberry is very faint, but I can taste a hint of the tartness from the cranberry in the finish.
The black tea base is not real strong in this blend, and I feel like the flavor of the black tea gets a little lost here. The same is true for the almonds. In fact, had I not read the ingredients, I wouldn’t have known that there were almonds in this blend.
That being said, this is still a very tasty blend, and one I would recommend to those that really enjoy those spicy cinnamon teas. I really like this. It does have a lot going on, but, I can’t really hold that against this tea because it is so fun and flavorful.
This tea is delicious hot or iced – and the flavors do change a little as the tea cools. It becomes a little smoother and softer in taste, and this seems to awaken some of the black tea flavor. Because it is such a “warm” tea (and by warm, I mean the spicy-hot kind of warm) – this tea is perfect now that the air grows cooler! A fantastic tea for autumn!
