I am generally a bit wary of rooibos teas, as lower quality rooibos can easily have an aftertaste reminiscent of stale dirty laundry. This, of course, takes away from the overall tea, no matter how delicious the added flavourings are. With this in mind, I choose my rooibos teas carefully before buying them, and I always drink them with an ounce of skepticism.

Cloud 9 Rooibos required no skepticism, however, as it is one of the best teas I have ever tried. The scent of the unmade tea reminds me of those individual packets of strawberry cream oatmeal I used to eat a kid, only it’s much easier to get me to drink this tea than it was to get me to eat that oatmeal. It even has tiny marshmallows, which add a bit of decadence and fun to the overall experience. Once made, the marshmallows melt in, creating a creamy texture that blends beautifully with the strawberries. The aftertaste holds a hint of rooibos and citrus.

It has an amazing depth of flavour, especially considering the fact that it is an herbal tea. Like most rooibos teas, Cloud 9 is easy to make, as it is impossible to oversteep. It is never bitter, and I have been hard-pressed to find a tea that tastes anything like it. So for its overall delicious flavour and scent and its uniqueness, I give Teavana’s Cloud 9 Rooibos a score of 9.5 out of 10.
