I love this tea! I normally add a bit of cream and honey to my tea, but this one does not need it. It is excellent hot, but it is my new favorite iced. The refreshing citrus is perfect for the hot summer!

I ordered this tea on the suggestion of a friend and I was not disappointed. Best tea ever and i'll tell you why. The notes and tones in this tea are brilliant and they sparkle. They play together so that it's not TOO citrusy or TOO floral. A well-done masterpiece and a classic. I will be keeping in stock in my home.

My wife and I discovered the NM Tea Co while passing through Albuquerque over New Year's. We fell in love with the shop and its owner/master tea blender. This tea looks inviting, has an exotic fruity tea aroma, and has a wonderful, full-bodied citrus/floral flavor. I strongly recommend it!

This tea is awesome! I had a slight sweet flavor and the citrus flavor was just enough without being over bearing! Great for in the evening when winding down!

Never considered tea to play a big part in my migraine control. Upon finding the Blood Orange Rooibos, it was an instant hit. Great flavor, awesome fragrance.. Now when family drops by they are always dipping in my tea selection. Thansk NMTC..

Probably the best tea I've ever had. I love to drink it with some oat milk and a little honey.

I'm so glad I discovered New Mexico Tea Company and this particular tea, which has become my favorite. I recently had to give up coffee, and now wonder why I thought I would miss it.

A coworker introduced me to NM teas recently and I would have to say that not one has been a let down. The blood orange tea smells absolutely heavenly and tastes just the same. After one cup went immediately to the website to make my own purchase.

As I type this the bag fo Orange Blood is flying to Denmark for my partners 86 year old mother. She is addicted to it and will not drink any other tea.

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.

We make this by the gallon in the summer and drink throughout the day. Great unsweetened, since it is naturally lightly sweet, or with some honey. It's easy on the stomach and even seems to calm mild digestive distress. In cooler weather it's nice to have hot in the evenings. It's just an all around great tea.

This is lovely--wonderfully scented, with a good dose of citrus. I noted the flavor came out a bit more with a bit of sweetener, though the tea has a hint of sweetness even without it.

I got a sample of this tea from somewhere, and I LOVE IT!!! It makes a great refreshing iced tea on a hot summer afternoon, with or without any sweetener. I couldn't remember where I got it from, so I had to order it online! Highly recommend this very flavorful tea, Blood Orange (Rooibos).

I have a gazillion teas from different shops, but this has been the tea I reach for the most often since I first tried it several years ago when I used to live a mile away from NM Tea. I haven't had anything else like it. The citrus is the perfect kick for an herbal daytime tea. When I'm stressed out, I feel better as soon as I open the bag and smell the leaves.

I tried this at a friend's house and loved it. Now I have it to share with my friends here at home!

I didn't expect the Blood Orange Rooibos to be in such large pieces yet produce such a mild tea. That isn't meant to be a negative criticism because citrus is my favorite flavor. The tea is perfectly blended, and the aftertaste is very pleasant.

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.

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!

The vanilla undertones with the citris of the blood orange is brilliant!

I was introduced to this tea last year on a trip to ABQ. I fell in love with it then and I am still in love with it now. It has a fresh clean lightly citrus taste. This last spring I started making it as a cold tea which is even better. It's soothing and mellow with a nice finish.

I am totally hooked on this tea. I tried it all because of a Groupon offer, not dreaming I'd find something so special. This is the best caffeine-free tea ever because of that wonderful orange and vanilla flavoring. Because it's so warm here in Puerto Rico I've only had it over ice... daily. I'm running dangerously low; must make another order.

the first cup of tea i had was way too strong. i followed the brewing directions but it was just way too intense. the second cup i had, i used about 3/4 a teaspoon and only steeped the tea for about 2 and a half minutes... the tea was perfect! as the other reviewers already mentioned, you get a very pleasant orange flavor, with a nice vanilla after taste. i usually buy earl gray, but i try and sample a few oz. of other teas as well. glad i chose this one because it tastes amazing!

Tastes like a creamsickle, I would blend with another flavor. Nice aroma, smooth.

I received this as a free sample. I ended up trying to find similar rooibos blends at local stores and nothing could match it. Do believe the hype - I just had to return! This tea has a strong, crisp citrus flavor with some vanilla. It's fantastic.

We keep buying the same three tees over and over again. This is one of them. I sent this to a great aunt and uncle who visited us and raved about our tea selection. They are now enjoying it in Bend OR. We drink it year round, hot, cold, sweet, with breakfast, after dinner etc... Love this tea.
