Cape Rooibos (Aspalathus Iinearis), meaning Red Bush in Afrikaans, is grown at the altitude of 2000 feet above sea level in the Cedarberg region. Fermentation of the Rooibos turns the leaves from green to deep red and gives a slight sweet note. When brewed this tea produces a reddish orange liquid with a light sweet taste and a refreshing aroma.
Research has shown Rooibos tea to be a rich natural source of antioxidants with a high level of flavonoids. With low tannin and the absence of caffeine makes it an ideal drink, even at night. Cape Rooibos tea is a super thirst quencher. Drink it hot or cold and it makes an excellent iced tea. USDA Organic
