Tastes Like: orange marmalade, gentian, clover
Feels Like: an evening in florence

As the sun begins its descent beyond the horizon, everything takes on an inviting glow. The scent of warm oranges fills the air. Inspired by the classic Negroni cocktail, this bright rooibos strikes the perfect balance between sweet-tart orange and bitter gentian flavor. The first sip is sweet and rich, with a slippery finish and dark honey flavor. Bittersweet orange notes mingle with sweet rooibos earthiness. In the finish, there is a distinctly herbaceous flavor reminiscent of a clover field warmed by a summer day.

A tea for lovers of oranges and cocktails.

    Maybe it's just me....?

    I wanted to like this tea so badly, but I just couldn't get a taste for it. I tried it alone, then with milk, then with added sweetener. The bitterness was just not my thing. I hate negative reviews so I'm just going to say - it's a flavor that did not agree with me. I'l be giving it some more tries again. Who knows. I may like it later???

    I already loved Negronis

    I already loved Negronis (Campari and gin). This tea definitely brings that wonderful cocktail to mind. I’m already a Rooibos fan. This tea steps up the Rooibos game of flavor and calm.

    Love this tea!

    I have tried two or three teas with an orange flavor component and accidentally ordered Biarritz, the one with amaretto and orange. Then, I got a sample of Negroni and realized why I was disappointed with Biarritz. The amaretto in Biarritz mellows the orange essence and is softer and more rounded, but the Negroni is bright, clean and more intensely orange. It is delicious and for those with caffeine concerns, please know that neither of them have caffeine! Rooibos is an herbal tea and has no caffeine! My treat in the evenings is a cup of hot tea with a piece of shortbread or a biscuit. Enjoy!!

    This was a new tea for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I love Negroni’s and this definitely has the big bitter but fun taste if a Negroni. All Rooibos based teas seem to always hit the mark.
