Rooibos Tea

Rooibos tea is a herb that grows only in South Africa along the Cederberg Mountains. The leaves of rooibos are harvested once a year and oxidised naturally under the sun which gives it a red colour and makes it the perfect herbal tea. The flavour of rooibos is smooth, sweet and mild with hints of nut, vanilla, caramel and fruit. Rooibos is enjoyed as a hot or cold beverage without milk, with or without sweeteners. Many South Africans enjoy Rooibos as a hot beverage with milk, sweetened with sugar or honey. Rooibos can be reheated without losing any flavour or becoming bitter.

Tea caddy contains 50 gm tea.
