Gift from SoccerMom, a while ago, and I am just getting to it! (One would find it hard to believe but I am behind on tea drinking!)
Disappointed I wasn't getting more coconut or ginger flavor as I enjoy both flavors. I am pleased it is reminiscent of amaretto (I adore Disaronno) - which is why it ended up on my shopping list to try in the first place.
I think it would need to be steeped longer to get more of a kick from it.
Overall a very enjoyable and only slightly rooibossy tea, but not one I think I will keep in stock, but I might pick up occasionally.
Rating: 3/4 leaves
Leaf system:

4=A staple in our cupboard from now on, I will purchase and keep purchasing
