Cookie in a cupJul 24, 2006
By - Kasia S. I have loved tea ever since I was a little girl, and I can honestly say that Celestial Seasonings has been one of my favorite whimsical brands of teas supporting my habit of drinking this healthful and delicious brew. I don't know anyone who can resist the cozy boxes with cheery, charming artwork pleasing to the eye, all printed on 100% recycled cardboard, with the tea bags being large and very plain as their taste once dropped in the hot water is worth the bag looking the way it does while the cover art on the box really make this a better tea than some of the brand out there in their fancy boxes and shiny labels, that taste flat and bitter.
Madagascar Vanilla Red is a caffeine free blend of Rooibos, Natural French Vanilla Flavor and Vanilla bean. When sugar or honey or even milk are added it tastes like the sweetest, almost chewy vanilla one can sink their teeth into whenever a sweet craving kicks in. I swear it reminds me of the Madagascar Vanilla I use in all my baking for the intense and heady sweet aroma and it tastes like a bakery treaty in a cup and since it's healthy, easy to find and inexpensive it makes me a very satisfied customer. If I drink it plain, no sugar no nothing it tastes like a delicate exotic tea with a breath of sweetness, and this is one of the very few teas I can drink plain, quite a feat in my eyes.
I heartily recommend it for any tea fan, even if they don't think that Herbal/Caffeine type teas are their cup of tea, haha, this is better because its not decaf, its naturally caffeine free, omitting the artificial process and it simply makes me happy when I drink it.

Yummy vanilla flavor! Plus Decaf!Mar 17, 2006
By Snowbrocade I was pleasantly surprised by this rich flavorful tea. Some vanilla teas are thin and sickly in flavor--not this one! Celestial Seasoning has managed to make a sweet--not cloying--rich tea mixture that brews up to a fragrant, comforting and enjoyable cup of tea--I add cream to round out the flavor.
Rooibos is the base for this tea. It is a healthy alternative to black teas because it is naturally caffeine-free and loaded with antioxidants--as much as green tea. You can brew this tea for a long time and it will not get bitter because there are no tannins.
Celestial Seasonings gets extra points for their packaging: they utilize 100% natural recycled paperboard in their boxes and they don't package each tea bag individually. Instead they use a system of a waxed paper bag inside the box that stays shut when you fold it. It keeps the bags fresh and utilizes less packaging than individually wrapping each bag. The art they use on each box is beautiful as are the quotes and information they put on every surface.

One of the best bagged teas you can get!Sep 10, 2010
By M. Kennedy This is a great tea with a spicy vanilla flavor.
I love to mix it with Bengal Spice Tea - 20 - Bag, even my kids love to drink this with almost no sugar!

Absolutely wonderfulMay 01, 2009
By Kurt A. Johnson Ah, it's a definitely American story - in 1969 friends Mo Siegel and Wyck Hay of Colorado began selling the herbal teas that they had previously only made for themselves. From such small beginnings came that famous tea company - Celestial Seasonings.
Among Celestial Seasonings' many products is an absolutely wonderful, naturally decaffeinated herbal infusion - Madagascar Vanilla Red. This tea is based on South African red tea, made with roobios (pronounced "roy-boss") leaves, and includes delicious Madagascar vanilla. It tastes great either hot or iced - deliciously vanilla-filled, with a nutty subtaste that makes this tea a great way to end the evening.
By the way, I have found that the best way to drink this tea is hot, with sugar and milk, accompanied by fresh-out-of-the-oven chocolate chip cookies. Mmm Mmm Good!

The tea that made me a tea drinkerJan 11, 2009
By Curtis G Despite a foray into peppermint and chamomile tea as a youth (following my father's lead), I've never been an avid hot tea drinker. I read about this tea in Best Life magazine and decided to give it a try for the claimed health benefits of rooibos tea. Healthy or not, this tea is delicious. I drink at least two cups a day, plus a Thermos-ful at work. I prefer it with a shot of Madhava Pure Organic Raw Agave Nectar. It would be nice if I could get a caffeinated version, but I guess I'll have to stick to Lipton Black Pearl Tea for that.
