For those who get it, it's a 'holy grail'; for others, well, they just don't get it. Expect an interesting ride that might take a few wears to truly appreciate.

Our Verdict - African Rooibos

This one's a divisive brew; some hail it as the ultimate tea scent-masterpiece, a truly unique and sophisticated aroma. Others, however, are left scratching their heads, finding it anything from 'musty' to 'baby wipes'. Love it or hate it, it's definitely a conversation starter.
