Another new favorite! |
5/22/2021 |
| I've been putting this one off because I suspected I'd taste nothing but rooibos, and I've never had unflavored rooibos. I used to dislike it in bagged tea and found I could deal with it in better, loose-leaf varieties. I still tended to lean toward the green rather than the red.
So I was rather surprised when I loved this tea! I was afraid rooibos pong would overpower the chestnut for me. The chestnut flavor is subtle but it IS there and the overall result is a very drinkable tea with a flavor profile that fills a niche in my tea arsenal. I need something that's not super fruity, or very chocolatey, or crazy spicy - though I love all of these - sometimes I need a break. This is a deep, mellow flavor that I could go back right now and brew again.
The accountant in my head sighs and says, "Ok, yet another re-order". From the person who always says she likes "VariTea"... I've come up with an awful lot of reorders from S&V. |

| I bought this tea on a whim, and I honestly didn't expect to like it. I've never had chestnuts before, so I didn't know what to expect. I can't say whether or not this does taste like chestnuts, but it has a delicious, lingering taste that it wonderful! It is now my favorite tea! |

Very Nutty |

| The flavor here is so fun. The chestnut tastes so authentic, even a bit salty. It’s really strong and nutty. I added just a little milk, and it’s really delightful. The rooibos is the perfect supporting player for the flavoring. The second steep tasted almost as strong as the first. I love a strong, nutty tea, and this has to be one of the best ones yet. |

| The Roasted Chestnut Rooibos is a scrumptious cup for a cold day. The nutty sweet flavoring of roasted chestnuts taste delicious with the rooibos tea. |

Found my way back! |

| I was given this tea as a sample by someone who sold me some other tea related stuff. It is one of my all time favorites. It is warm and unique. I haven't had any more of this tea since I ran out of the sample. Still, even with the holidays behind us, I am going to buy some now! :) |

A sweet roobios nighttime cup |
12/20/2018 |
| I don't know much about what chestnuts taste like, however it does remind me of one of the best books I read this year: 'The Overstory' by Richard Powers. On to the tea: the lovely rooibos base comes through more than usual. A very deep red in the mug. I don't think the orange blossoms do much here, but I do love when they are in blends. Any chestnut flavor here just seems like sweetness to me. Not much nutty about it, but again, I have no chestnut experience to compare this tea to. But a sweet rooibos is acceptable enough for me for a nighttime cup. The second steep the next night tasted exactly the same as the first.
Steep #1 // 1 1/2 teaspoons for a full mug // 12 minutes after boiling // 2 minute steep
Steep #2 // just boiled // 4 minute steep |

A Favorite Among Many |

| Absolutely love this tea. It has a distinct nutty flavor, without being bitter. In fact, any time I have one of the girls over to share a cup of tea, they all ask for the Roasted Chestnut. And with it being naturally caffeine-free, it is my go-to tea most of the time. |

Chestnut delight |

| This rooibos is just wonderful! The aroma is like sugary raisins while the cup is bursting with a delightful nuttiness. It's wonderfully malty and easy to drink. Sometimes I'll get a slight orange note as well. In the past I had a chestnut tea with a black tea base that was divine- this tea fills that role but now I can drink it in the evening! |

Not my cup of tea |
1/9/2017 |
| I wanted to like this, since Ive had chestnut teas that I enjoyed before. Unfortunately Ive never been a fan of red rooibos. The chestnut flavor itself was very good, but I couldnt get past the rooibos base. I just dont like the taste of the two together. If this had been on a different base, like a black tea, it would be lovely. As it is, its a no-go. |

| I love this one! The previous reviewer was right, the chestnut works with the rooibos base in the most delicious way possible! The base and flavors meld together seamlessly. I cant stop drinking this, its currently #1 on my rooibos rotation. |

| I really love this one. It has a rich, full-bodied, nutty flavor that blends beautifully with the red rooibos. A new favorite. |
