Rooibos

Rooibos is made from the plant Aspalathus linearis and not from the Camellia family at all despite often being called bush tea or redbush tea. This is because its name means “Red Bush” in Afrikaans and is often drunk as an alternative to tea. It is naturally caffeine free and low in tannins with numerous health benefits. It has enjoyed several periods of popularity in Africa and is recently reaching a wider international market with all people.
