• ROOIBOS TEA LEAVES

    Rooibos tea leaves are sourced from the Aspalathus linearis shrub which is a native plant of South Africa. With a sweet and delicate flavour, this tea is preferred by many people because of its potential health benefits and the fact that it is caffeine-free. It has been very popular in South Africa for a long time and is gradually gaining fame among tea lovers in other parts of the world as well. It can be made with or without milk based on your taste preferences.

  • ORIGIN OF ROOIBOS TEA:

    While South African natives have been using Rooibos tea leaves to make tea for generations, it was until the 1930s that commercial production of the tea took place. As a result, there are few people who have known about this tea until recently. The plant is endemic to a small part of the western coast of South Africa. It is said that the Dutch settlers in the Cape region used Rooibos as an alternative to tea which was highly priced at the time. The commercialization of Rooibos took place after Dr. Nortier started conducting experiments to find a way to commercially cultivate the Rooibos plant. Until then the local farmers did not cultivate the plant because they could not germinate the seeds. Today, Dr. Nortier is considered to be the Father of Rooibos tea.

  • TYPES OF ROOIBOS TEA

    There are two types of rooibos tea – red and green. They are soured from the same plant, but go through different oxidization periods.

    Red Rooibos – The red rooibos tea leaves have a rich maroon color which results from the oxidization of the leaves. It has a flavour profile very similar to hibiscus tea and may even match the same coloration. Based on the extent of oxidization of the leaves, the red rooibos tea flavours can vary from smoky to sweet.
