Oh wow!
I never thought that I would drink a tea that actually tastes like cotton candy, but this one does. It is like a cup of sweet, perfectly-spun fairy floss. It even had little sprinkles in the blend. I gave a cup to my stepdaughter, and she absolutely loved it, and she hates anything that can be called tea (even fruit teas). This tea is a perfect dessert tea, and great for anyone who loves sweets. And since it's a rooibos, it's caffeine free.
Sadly, I went to the DAVIDsTEA site to order more right after I received my bag, and they were out. :( I hope they bring it back next summer! It is currently available as one of five .88 oz teas in the Old Timey Treats Collection, but not individually.

If you are looking for a tasty, caffeine free chai, Teavana's Rooibos Chai may be your answer.
Awhile back, during some colder weather, I was on a chai kick, but I wanted to cut back on caffeine. I went to Teavana, and noticed their Rooibos Chai and sampled it. It was everything you would want in a chai, lots of heady, Indian-inspired spices. I could taste the cinnamon, cardamom and ginger notes. This particular chai is a bit heavy on the spice, but I either use less tea or add some milk to counteract the strong flavor.
I like to drink this chai with a bit of sugar and some milk for a latte. I almost always drink it hot, but it makes a good iced chai latte as well.
Also, rooibos usually can be re-steeped with good results. This makes it a pretty great value.
