Rooibos, meaning "red bush"; is a broom-like member of the plant family Fabaceae that grows in South Africa's fynbos. It is a distinctive type of vegetation found only on the southern tip of Africa. The leaves are used to make a herbal tea called by the names: rooibos, bush tea, red tea, or redbush tea. 

Rooibos is harvested and processed similar to the camellia sinensis tea plant. It is. cut by hand and its stems and leaves are bound into bundles, which are then sorted and cut to begin the oxidation process. Oxidation is what brings out the plant’s essential oils and helps the leaves develop their rich color and flavor. 

Our premium collection of loose leaf rooibos tea include a variety of flavor. Green rooibos tea is a less oxidized rooibos that is steamed and dried immediately after harvesting. 

Rooibos is naturally non-caffeinated and a rich source of antioxidants. It contains chrysoeriol, an anti-inflammatory property that can help blood circulation and help alleviate seasonal allergies.
