Just north of Cape Town, South Africa, the rooibos or the redbush grows, and its leaves are processed to bring this wonderful herbal tisane that’s popular in South Africa.

Rooibos comes from this small bush, which is 1 – 2 metres high, with roots that dig much deeper into the soil, hunting for water in the arid soils where it grows. To make Redbush Tea, the leaves are cut, crushed, oxidised and dried in the sun.

Tea Brewing:

• To brew the European way, add 1 teaspoon of Redbush Tea per 2 cup pot (2.5g per 180ml water).
• Add boiling water, infuse for 4 minutes. Do not add milk.
• In South African way, brew stronger, with milk and sugar. Double the quantity and the brewing time.

Tasting Notes: Redbush Tea – Full bodied with rich, warm and rounded, with nutty notes and a hint of sweet honey.
