Kalahari: Cherry Vanilla and Safari Lullaby
As a tea/Rooibos blogger, I try to experience as many products as possible. Kalahari’s much improved website and ChocoLatté Teas (including Rooibos) really caught my attention. I have several flavors to try, and I randomly selected Cherry Vanilla and Safari Lullaby to start. Both are flavored Rooibos varieties. The Rooibos comes in a traditional style tea bag; which for me is ideal when it comes to Rooibos. Most Rooibos options are finely cut and when prepared “loose”, it can be messy with traditional tea strainers. Anyway, I steeped the Rooibos for about 3-5 minutes in near boiling water. Starting with an inviting aroma and ending with a pleasing flavor and aftertaste, the Kalahari Rooibos exceeded my expectations.
Cherry Vanilla: Wow. That’s all I could say as I simultaneously inhale the aroma and allow the delicious flavors to roll over my tongue. The flavor combination was perfectly balanced. Ingredients: Dark Roasted Cacao, Organic Rooibos, Cinnamon, Licorice, Chicory, Cardamom, Ginger, Cloves, Vanilla and natural Cherry Flavor. Let me tell you…this was delicious. The natural ingredients and flavoring created a smooth and enjoyable beverage. What exceeded my expectations is how well the ingredients were blended together. The slight scent and taste of chocolate with a touch of cherry and vanilla in every sip was amazing. I can’t wait to try more Kalahari ChocoLatté Teas.
Safari Lullaby: Ingredients: Rooibos, Chamomile, Spearmint, Lemon Grass, Valerian, natural flavors. Chamomile is not my favorite herbal ingredient. On the flip side, Spearmint is one of my favorite herbal ingredients. I wasn’t quite sure how I was going to respond to the Safari Lullaby. Well, good news for me, the chamomile was mild and all the flavors combined for a very relaxing flavored Rooibos. The spearmint was unreal. This beverage was so smooth and delicate. Perfectly titled Safari Lullaby.
As you can see, I was very impressed. I have several more flavors to try and I’m going to savor each one. I highly recommend ordering from Kalahari if you enjoy flavored teas and Rooibos.
