A caffeine free blend of South African Rooibos and uplifting spices.
Rooibos Afrikaans for "Red Bush" (pronounced 'Roy-Boss') is a member of the Legume family of plants. It grows exclusively in the Cedarberg Mountains and around Clanwilliam in South Africa. San People The Ancient San Bushmen are believed to be the earliest users of Rooibos. Large-scale cultivation and industrial processing of the plant began during the 1930s. Harvesting Technique The leaves of the Rooibos bush are harvested, bruised, finely chopped, moistened and fermented in mounds. The result is a rich flavor and distinct red colored thin leaves. Wonder Herb Rooibos is free of caffeine and contains Aspalathin, a flavonoid present in medicinal herbs used to treat skin and circulatory disorders. It is also known to contain traces of Fluoride, Calcium and Manganese which help boost the immune system. Organic Spices We hand blend organic Rooibos with organic cloves, cardamom, cinnamon and spearmint.
For steeping, simply infuse one teaspoon of leaf/spices per 8 ounces of boiling or near boiling water and steep 4 to 6 minutes (the longer infusion time is needed if you wish to add milk). Add milk and sweetener and enjoy. For a more traditional style, boiled Chai: Use one to two teaspoons of Red Bush Chai for eight ounces water. Bring to full boil for three minutes. Add whole milk / soy milk (in ratio of 1/4 milk to 3/4 water), and let boil another two minutes. Strain and sweeten to taste. |
