Tisano Organic Vanilla Rooibos Cacao Tea - Loose Leaf - 04oz

Updated May 2012.I wanted to update this review because I wanted to compliment Tisano on all of the teas - I have now ordered and tried all of them!I want to highly recommend all of these Cacao Teas- they are particularly delicious! I am fondest of the pure Cacao tea, but the Rooibos, Dragonwell, Mate, and Hojicha are all amazing as well.You can't go wrong.I am impressed! Tisano teas are absolutely delicious. Simple, organic ingredients - the Rooibos one is just Cacao shells, Rooibos, and vanilla beans.Every time I open the tin, the fragrance is very lush - like a fine bar of chocolate.I have been using my french coffee press to make my Tisano cacao tea. Its very easy to make - just measure out the amount of tea you want, and pour freshly boiled filtered water into the press, which releases the most beautiful fragrance!The taste of the Rooibos tea is very lush - so chocolatey but with the added complexity of rooibos and vanilla. I added some milk to mine and it is just delicious.It is also excellent all by itself.The Dragonwell is clean, simple, flavorful and just perfect. I love the Mate Cacao blend most for when I am studying - Mate really helps clear the fog out in your head!The Hojicha is just what you would expect - gorgeous - chocolately, kind of toasty. Perfect.Tisano has a good thing going!!P.S. They have excellent customer service. I had a handwritten thank you note from the company's founder, Patrick, written on my packing slip, thanking me for being a repeat customer, and a sample package of some chocolate nibs, which might be my favorite thing on earth : ) Plus, he's good looking, what more could a girl ask for?Thanks Patrick!!

I am a fan of the cacao tea. But for some reason it wasn't available at the time, so I bought this instead, crossing my fingers it was just as good. Didn't have to wish so hard...the product is EXCELLENT! Kept my appetite in check. Won an online fitness transformation contest(thanks not only to my Venus Index workout program but to Tisano as well.) THis should be a part of every dieter's cabinet! I am now in maintenace and this tea helps me keep my weight under control. I am a big fan of chocolate anything. I used to drink Republic of Teas Chocolate line but after trying Tisano, I have switched my allegiance! Republic's tea line never satisfied my chocolate tooth. But tisano's does! I used to be a binge eater. It's a hard thing to manage and I probably will always suffer from those desires. Tisano tea...helps alot. I am now in maintenance with my weight and I am not getting rid of this tea. I will keep is a a staple in my cabinet. I wish it was on autoship!

Taste is super subjective, so I'm not saying this is a *bad* tea just that I did not like it much at all. I adore Tisano's cacao tisane and drink that all the time. I thought I would venture out and try something new. I mix this tisane with the 100% cacao now and it is better, but it's not my, drum roll please, cup of tea.

I am not much of a tea drinker, but this tea is so delicious that I stopped drinking coffee in preference to it. The aroma is exquisite, the taste is magnificent, and the leftover nibs make great mulch. I like to add a drop of raspberry extract, which turns the sublime into the ethereal. The tins are also nice...the labels peel off easily and make great giblet holders.

This is a wonderful loose leaf tea that is delicious and will help curb that sweet tooth. I love to drink it of the evening, its almost like drinking chocolate milk. You will not be disappointed by this product. Be aware this is a tea and not intended to be hot chocolate, it just resembles it so if you are expecting hot chocolate you may be disappointed.

This tea does not taste like chocolate or vanilla. It just tastes like a weird rooibos. It smells good but tastes nasty. No returns even though it is prime. Not cool and now I have wasted my money.

I really like this tea. I mix in a little Splenda and some of my favorite French vanilla creamer, and it's a cup of delight. No, it is not a thick flavor like hot chocolate; it is tea. It is a perfect beverage on a cold night or when you just need a little comfort.

This tea is great tasting. It is comforting to enjoy at any time without even having to add anything. I am pleased with this item and recommend it to all tea lovers like myself.
