I drink this tea for breakfast and lunch. Along with the Marco Polo black tea, these are my most favorite ever!
I LOVE this tea! It's such a great flavor, minus the caffeine of the original. The rooibos flavor isn't very prominent for those who dislike it. The taste is very complex, both fruity and floral.
I was first introduced to Mariage Freres teas in Paris. It is the best tea I have ever experienced! The original Marco Polo tea is one of my favorites so I was happy to discover that the "rouge" version is just as delightful! Whether you are curious about rooibos tea or love the original Marco Polo but want a caffeine-free version for evening you wont be disappointed.
Same superb taste of Marco Polo , in a caffeine-free version. The rooibos brews up rather dark, so it looks similar to black tea,can even take a spot of milk. I've enjoyed Mariage Freres elegant ,subtle teas for years -all highly recommended!
This is such a memorable tea that when I first had in Paris over 10 years ago, I couldn't forget it. I searched and searched for it and only rarely found it in the US, once at Sur La Table in Berkeley, CA. Every time someone goes to Paris for me, I ask them to bring it back for me.
