Rooibos (Red Bush)

Rooibos Tea by Rishi Tea

Native to the mountains of South Africa, Rooibos is prized for its great flavor and health beneficial anti-oxidants, minerals and vitamins. Naturally caffeine-free, Rooibos is also known as Red Bush and has a deep and dark red infusion with a full body and sweet finishing flavor. Recent research also shows that it contains the highest known levels of anti-aging properties of any plant on earth. Our Rooibos is 100% Organic and of the highest quality. It tastes great hot or iced.

Bold and rich flavor that goes down smooth. Best when you let it steep for a longer amount of time and with water that is just under a boil

This tea is delicious and great for any health conscious individual. Not only do I like the fact that Rishi’s rooibos tea is organic, but red tea is caffeine-free and usually the price is pretty low! It is naturally sweet and has an earthy, nutty flavor.

I like to drink this tea by itself with a little bit of honey or mixed in with others. It can add a little extra rooibos flavor to anything you mix it with. The downside though is that rooibos tea does not hold well when steeped multiple times.

However, because it won’t get bitter if steeped for a long time like green, black, or oolong tea, you can let the 2nd or 3rd steep infuse for a lot longer than you normally would.
