I enjoy blogging about all things tea, and this is no exception.  Having said that, we all know Rooibos is not tea, but tea consumers and beyond have welcomed Rooibos into their cups.  Please read my Rooibos blogs if you are not familiar with Rooibos. The African Red Tea® Bar is just another step for Rooibos.  At the World Tea Expos I’ve attended, I’ve eaten my share of products that contain tea as an ingredient.  Tea has been making it’s way into our food for a few years now.  Some people have been using tea in their food for several years.  So, why not Rooibos?

The ingredients (Made by hand, with all raw ingredients): Almonds, coconut, pumpkin seeds, figs, raw agave nectar, rooibos extract 18:1, sea salt, and vanilla extract (totals 130 calories per bar).

The African Red Tea® Bars had the same texture as a chewy granola bar.  There was a slight crispness to it, but for the most part it was chewy.  The coconut and almond flavors really stood out for me.  It had just the right amount of sweetness from the raw agave nectar.  After a few bites, I started to detect a hint of Rooibos flavoring.  This would make a great snack for someone that really enjoys Rooibos or tea related products.
