African Red Bush delicately mixes rooibos, hibiscus flowers, rosemary, lemon and sweet spices. Rooibos (pronounced "roy-boss") is the Afrikaans word for "red bush" and it grows in the majestic Cederburg Mountains of South Africa. Rich in vitamins, antioxidants, flavanoids, and minerals, rooibos has been used as an herbal medicine by the Khoisan people for centuries. With a deep amber color, Tazo African Red Bush has a delicious and complex tea-like flavor without the tannins or caffeine of black
Reader Reviews
Rooibos is Afrikaans for "red bush." Grown in South Africa's Cederburg Mountains and harvested during the summer, this tea acquires its unique red color as a result of fermentation (in mounds) and oxidization, when it is spread out to dry in the sunlight; naturally it is green.
Rooibos is known for its health benefits stemming from its rich content in vitamins, antioxidants, flavanoids and minerals (inter alia, magnesium, calcium, iron, copper, zinc, potassium, fluoride, manganese and alpha-hydroxy) and has a long tradition of medicinal use among the local Native population; among other things, it is known to help cure asthma, hay fever and other allergies, acne, eczema, colics, indigestion, insomnia, and nervous tension. Containing very few tannins and no caffeine, rooibos has a distinctive aroma and amber color.
This tea blends well with various spices and condiments; my favorite mixture is a delicious loose leaf blend sold by my local tea store, which features orange peel, cinnamon, grated coconut, finely minced chili and red pepper. For a more commercial alternative, though, Tazo's Red Bush tea is a great choice as well: a rich, exquisite blend of rooibos, hibiscus, orange peel, rosemary, several lemon ingredients (lemon myrtle, verbena and balm), as well as a number of sweet spices. Enjoy!
