Rooibos Tea is made from dried rooibos (red bush) leaves, Aspalathus linearis. Brewed, it gives a deep reddish-amber cup with a smooth, naturally sweet taste. Serve it hot on a cold evening, or chilled over ice in summer.
This is a simple, single-ingredient herbal tea with no caffeine, so it makes an easy warm drink for the evening. It is also low in tannins, so it stays smooth even if you steep it a little longer. It is a tea to enjoy, and we do not claim that it treats any health condition.
