From Harney & Sons

The base of African Autumn, our popular herbal blend, is rooibos a legume also known as ‘red bush’ native to South Africa. Rooibos is oxidized, which changes the color to red, and when brewed, it looks similar to the red of “black” tea. Loaded with antioxidants, fans love the brightness of the rooibos accented by cranberry and citrus.

Ingredients:
Rooibos, hibiscus, cranberry flavor, orange flavor, orange peel.

A delicious tea, with contrasting qualities that provides for a delightful drinking experience. The warm, gentle flavor of the rooibos comes first and then an incredibly pleasant, bright citrus aftertaste. Both were very gentle flavors. I’ve never been a rooibos fan, but this is a lovely tea I could easily introduce into my menu. I think it would go well with a sweet desert or some fruit.

This is a great tea! Smells great brewing! Just wish you could taste the cranberry more and the orange less!
