I got the Earl Grey because a friend of mine told me he loved it. Tonight I tried the Rooibos and having the second now.
I never heard of red tea is why I got it. I am not sure what you gentleman think about this stuff but my first wiff put me back in time standing in my old tack room. Now I have NO IDEA what Rooibos is let alone where it comes from but it is mmmmm mmmmm good. The aroma smells to me like a mixture of grain like oats barley maybe something green and for some reason a hint of leather. Now I know this may have some of you laughing but remember I have an untrained nose. It knows the difference between the front of the horse and the back but picking a scent apart has never been a talent of mine. I didn't cheat and read the box because I wanted to know what I thought about it, not what I was supposed to think.

Tomorrow some Earl Grey and hopefully that's another front of the horse kind. :<0)

Okay now I am going to read the box :<0)

First post here Gents,
Mick is correct, Rooibos is African in origin. Not wiser but a bit of experience with Rooibos. I was in Africa this September and locals recommended you drink it with a dash of unrefined sugar. Pretty tasty way to end a long day in the bush.
I brought some back but went through it quickly so I'm glad to see Twinings offers it.
Cheers and looking forward to tapping into everyones knowledge on wet shaving.

This week I'll mostly be drinking organic, whole-leaf Miyazaki black tea from Gokase Town, Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan (again):



This one is highly recommended.
