Rooibos Tea - Certified Organic

Rooibos Tea - 100% Certified Organic

Spice Zen’s Rooibos Tea is a 100% certified organic sweet, caffeine free, red herbal tea, made from the shrub Aspalathus Linearis native to South African region. Rooibos tea infusion has lots of health benefits.

You might think that South Africa’s love of tea is a British import. In fact, South Africa’s go-to-cuppa is derived not from the spoils of the Empire, but from the native riches of the African bush.

Every day, millions of South Africans imbibe a comforting herbal brew, known as Rooibos tea (pronounced ROY-BOSS), made from the fermented leaves of aspalathus linearis, a shrub which grows in the mountainous Western Cape. Rooibos thrives in sandy soil and a dry climate and was probably used as a medicinal tincture and an energising “bush tea” for thousands of years.

If you are expecting something like classic cuppa the first time you try this caffeine-free tea, you might be in for a mild shock. With little in common with black tea, Rooibos is recognisable straight away by its brilliant red hue and slightly thick, creamy consistency.

It possesses a sweet, nutty and earthy palate with a hint of caramel. Sharing many of the same health benefits of tea, the antioxidant-rich brew are considered to protect the body from cell-damaging free radicals and fighting allergies, asthma and acne.

Despite being caffeine-free, South African cafes often serve a “red cappuccino” - a milky, copper coloured beverage with cinnamon sprinkled foam top. Buy caffeine-free tea online to enjoy this famous South African export.
