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.

How many cups of tea can I steep from 1oz of loose leaf tea?
The number of cups you can steep from 1 oz of loose leaf tea will vary depending on the type and size of the tea leaves, as well as how strong you prefer your tea. As a general estimate, 1 oz (approximately 28 grams) of loose leaf tea can make about 5-9 eight-ounce cups. Tea leaves vary greatly in size and density, from short and broken leaves and CTC teas to traditional leaf and long-leaf varieties, so the amount of tea used per cup will differ. Many high-quality loose leaf teas can also be steeped more than once, allowing you to enjoy even more cups from the same leaves. These amounts are intended as a helpful guide rather than an exact measurement.
