Rooibos Tea (Red Tea)

[Ric]

I'm sitting back drinking a pot of Rooibos Tea. It is very relaxing and caffeine free. Plus the health benefits of Rooibos is even better than that of Green Tea.

I've know about Rooibos for a long time (Rooibos tea is grown exclusively in the Cedarburg region of South Africa), it is also know as "Red Tea" because the color of the brewed Tea is a bright red color.

Rooibos was first introduced to the United States during WWII because shipments of Tea were hard to receive during the war and people were looking for something else to drink in place of the short supply of Tea.


Has anyone else enjoyed Rooibos like I do?

Yes, very much. I like the orange flavored leaves, especially in winter. I live in Florida, so it is warm most of the winter and we drink iced tea all year (hot tea also). Instead of using lemon in the O.R. tea, I use slices of fresh orange. Ooo lah lah!

Really does well at dinner parties and social functions.

Lately I've been drinking a lot of herbal teas. I love the taste of them.

I just discovered Rooibos tea, and find it quite tasty. I also like Bengal Spice tea.

I like many different kinds of tea, including Rooibus.

So are you drinking the Red tea hot or iced?
