REDBUSH TROPICAL - ROOIBOS TEA

This delicious recipe was created by our junior tea blender Indi, aged 11 (in 2015). It's been a great hit with his friends and adults alike and has gained a permanent place in my own tea cupboard, an honour afforded to very few teas. This South African tisane is a great substitute for real tea with its rich red colour and flavour. It is organically grown and particularly suitable for children, being free of caffeine and rich in healthy antioxidants. We select the highest grade, composed predominantly of fine leaf, and free of the dust found in the lower grades. This is blended with mango and coconut to offer an exotic cup, with the fragrance of a tropical paradise. Can be taken with milk if brewed for a good five minutes. It is very pleasant taken with honey or fruit sugar. Rooibos is usually grown in the Cederberg, a small mountainous area in the Western Cape province of South Africa. We use the highest grade available to ensure maximum polyphenol content, which is responsible for creating the best flavour and efficacy that Rooibos is famed for. At the moment demand for Rooibos is outstripping supply, meaning growers are achieving high prices for their crop. Have you tried sweetening herbal tea with natural liquorice root or Stevia leaf?
