Blood Orange Rooibos is our most popular herbal blend. It has many levels of flavor ranging from the citrus orange with a light vanilla undertone, to the malty rich rooibos base. Blood oranges usually have pitted skin and are smaller than an average orange. The juice is sweet with a somewhat bitter aftertaste and less acidic than that of regular table oranges.
Rooibos, orange peel, hibiscus, rose-hips, apple pieces, safflowers, rose petals, with orange, vanilla, and lemon flavor.
For 1 gallon of iced tea, bring half a gallon of filtered water to boil in a pot. Turn off heat, and add 3 tablespoons (1 oz of tea), let steep for 4-5 minutes. Strain the tea into the other half gallon of cool water and refrigerate. If you want to serve immediately, you can pour the concentrate over ice.
A rabid tea aficionado
I have seached tea vendors nationwide. This is the best orange roobios ever! The flavors meld deliciously on the tongue, have a smooth finish, and the color is exquisite. I like to spread my purchasing power around, but I will not buy this particular variety from anyone but you!

Awesome!
This is one of my favorite tisanes. The orange and vanilla flavors remind me of creamsicles on a summer day while the rooibos base gives it a smooth richness. All the flavors are perfectly balanced so that it works well both hot and iced.

Best. Tea. Ever.
I had this tea at the Sunshine Cafe. Iced. It was so good I went up to the counter and asked them to repeat again what kind of tea, and then the dude told me that it is from the New Mexico Tea Company. Right. Across. The. Street. And so I went, and bought me some. YUM. Fabulous cold, and just as fabulous hot.
