Organic rooibos tea
Rooibos tea, also known as red tea, comes from a bush that grows in South Africa. The name is derived from rooi bos (Afrikaans), which means ‘red bush’. Also known as rooibos, bush tea, red tea or red bush tea.
The leaves of the bush are used to make herbal tea. Rooibos is usually prepared like other more classic herbal teas. It is poured with hot water and left to stand for a certain time. Rooibos can be drunk without adding anything else, but according to individual taste, milk, lemon, sugar, honey, etc. can be added to it. This tea can also be used to make latte, cappuccino, and iced tea.
This plant is commonly grown in the Cederberg, a small mountainous area in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. Generally, leaves undergo oxidation. This process produces the characteristic reddish-brown color of rooibos and improves the taste. Organic rooibos tea has a mild taste, with sweet, earthy or woody notes. It is rich in minerals such as manganese, magnesium and zinc.
It does not contain caffeine, so it can be recommended to everyone, regardless of age. Many people buy it for children (and its mixtures with fruits and other herbs) as something healthy and new, for a pleasant introduction to teas. Also thanks to the fact that it doesn’t contain caffeine, it is recommended for any time of the day or night. Many people like to drink it in the evening, when its pleasant taste can be the perfect addition to evening relaxation.
