Redbush Tea Bags 80 per pack - Pack of 6

Description

The Rooibos Plant Rooibos (which means 'red bush' in Afrikaans) grows only in South Africa's Cederberg Mountains. When harvested it is a rich green colour, and only when fermented does it turn the deep rusty red that gives the tea its name. Rooibos is naturally caffeine free with a sweeter flavour and less than half the tannin of black tea. Why choose our tea? For the San The Bushmen of southern Africa (or 'San') are the original hunter-gatherers, directly descended from the earliest humans. They were also the first people to discover the benefits of drinking tea made from rooibos. Over the centuries, the San have struggled to preserve their way of life in an increasingly difficult world, to the point that only around 100,000 remain, mostly in impoverished conditions. Since 2001, we have raised over £100,000 to support vital projects in their communities. We believe in the value of preserving their culture, and in the opportunity for businesses to be a force for wider good. For the taste We only make rooibos, and our relationship with the growers means we have an exclusive blend of the top 10% of the crop. This gives our tea a richer colour and sweeter, more rounded flavour. For good health Rooibos is naturally free from caffeine and low in tannin. As it doesn't have the bitter aftertaste you get from black tea, it can be enjoyed with or without milk, lemon or sweeteners. Refreshing and hydrating.
