Rooibos is a member of the legume family of plants, and is commonly used to make a tisane (herbal tea). It belongs to the Aspalathus genus of plants, which consists of more than 200 species originating in the Cedarberg mountains of South Africa. Rooibos grows exclusively in the Cedarberg Mountain region and around Clanwilliam and Citrusdal.
During summer and early autumn, the branches are hand-harvested and cut into smaller pieces. The raw Rooibos is then moistened with water, thoroughly bruised, then placed in heaps and allowed to oxidize for 8 to 24 hours. After oxidation, the herb is spread out in a special yard to dry naturally in the sun. Our handcrafted blend of Superfine grade organic Rooibos with fragrant herbs makes a golden-red brew.
Company description not available.
Needed to add a couple of things on to an Amazon order to get the free shipping, so of course I ordered tea, rooibos in this case. This is a rooibos that tastes very much of that rooibos flavor. It is the first note in this tea and the dominant one. To some degree I can taste the orange peel and the lemon from the lemon verbena. I don’t really taste the spearmint or the chamomile. This is a nice enough tea but if it wasn’t for insomnia I would rather be drinking puerh. But by now I have cut out all caffeine. This is not a tea for someone who doesn’t like the taste of red rooibos.
I brewed this one time in a 16oz Teavana Glass Perfect Tea Maker/Gravity Steeper with 3 tsp leaf and boiling water for 5 minutes.
Flavors: Lemon, Orange Zest, Rooibos
