Tasting Notes: naturally sweet, slightly nutty, woodsy

Description: Rooibos, also known as the the red-bush plant and pronounced roy-bus, is grown solely in South Africa. This medicinal plant is known for its health benefits. 

This naturally no caffeine plant is high in antioxidants and vitamin C.  Rooibos has been found to be anti-inflammatory, antioxidant-rich, improve heart health, balance blood sugar, and aid in digestion. There have been many studies of the benefits of rooibos and how it may prevent cancer.

The rooibos plant can be crafted into two different teas: red rooibos and green rooibos. To produce green rooibos, the plant leaves are not oxidized meaning no heat is applied to the plant. This results in a light and herbaceous taste for green rooibos tea. To produce red rooibos tea, the plant leaves are roasted to full oxidization. This makes red rooibos tea a more full-bodied tea with a smooth rounded rich taste. In each sip there are mild notes of roasted nuts, woods, earth, and vanilla.

Ingredients: organic roasted red rooibos tea from South Africa

Jacob A. ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised by how naturally sweet this rooibos is—no sugar needed. The subtle nutty, woodsy flavor makes it a perfect caffeine-free wind-down tea.

Hannah E. ★★★★★

I picked this up hoping for a caffeine-free option for late evenings, and the woodsy, slightly nutty flavor hits the spot without any bitterness. Steeping a cup for about five minutes gives a deep red color that tastes just as good plain as it does with a splash of milk.

Joseph ★★★★★

The natural sweetness means I don't need to add anything, which is rare for an herbal tea. It's got this slightly nutty, woodsy thing going on that makes it feel richer than plain chamomile. Been keeping a cup going all afternoon while I work.
