What is Rooibos?
Rooibos, (pronounced like "roy-boss"), Afrikaans for "red bush"; is a member of the legume family of plants and is used to make a tisane (herbal tea). Commonly called South African red tea or simply red tea or bush tea, the product has been popular in South Africa for generations and is now consumed in many countries.
In South Africa it is more common to drink rooibos with milk and sugar, but elsewhere it is usually served without. The flavor of rooibos tea is often described as being sweet (without sugar added) and slightly nutty. Preparation of rooibos tea is essentially the same as black tea save that the flavor is improved by longer brewing. The resulting brew is a reddish brown color, explaining why rooibos is sometimes referred to as "red tea".
Rooibos is becoming more popular in Western countries particularly among health-conscious consumers, due to its high level of antioxidants such as aspalathin and nothofagin, its lack of caffeine and its low tannin levels compared to fully oxidized black tea or unoxidized green tea leaves.
This is packaged in a heat sealed poly bag with ziploc to ensure freshness and quality.
