DESCRIPTION
TEA CULTURE
FRENCH NAME  ROOIBOS ORGANIQUE
BLEND NO.  1095
The famous red bush tea is caffeine-free but tastes like a light Ceylon black tea. This herbal infusion can support milk and is ideal for decaffeinated black tea drinkers.

Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) is essentially the leaves of a broom-like bush that grows near the Cederberg mountains in South Africa (north of Cape Town).  The indigenous people in the region made rooibos tea from ithe needle-like leaves that are picked, ground and then moistened with water to start fermentation.  The leaves are sun-dried immediately to maintain their bright orange-brown color and then packed.

As rooibos is not camelia sinensis (tea), there are no tannins or caffeine.  Highly prized for its healthy, beneficial character - rich in antioxidants and vitamins.
