The best quality as always
I’ve been purchasing my Rooibos from Silk Road for the past 10 years and it’s the best by far.
Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) looks and tastes much like a true tea. The cultivar was developed in South Africa and is known as "Red Bush". The leaves of this herbal offer a unique, rich flavor with clean notes of citrus and vanilla. Its leaves are oxidized creating its bright red coloration. A refreshing and relaxing tisane, and no caffeine!
Interesting facts about this tisane. Caffeine-free and rich in vitamin C, minerals and known for its very high antioxidant content (reputed to have a greater antioxidant value than green tea!) There is also a green Rooibos variety, not oxidized, offering more malty flavors.
Taste profile. Offers light notes of citrus and vanilla. It also has a taste similar to hibiscus flower and in a longer steep, an earthy flavor. It is noncaffeinated.
Steeping suggestions. Approximately one teaspoon or 3-4 grams per 8 ounces of water at boiling temperature. Steep for 3 minutes and taste. It can steep longer for more body and flavor and will not become astringent.
