Rooibos

Adagio Teas – Rooibos Tea

Adagio Teas Rooibos Tea is a sweet and fruity herb with a rounded and smooth flavor for making tisane. Contains no caffeine and blends well.

Rooibos, colloquially known as ‘Red Tea’ (although not from the actual tea bush), is a naturally caffeine-free herbal plant that grows only in South Africa. A flavorful alternative for those seeking a stimulant-free beverage, our rooibos is fruity, sweet, rounded, mild and smooth with a refreshingly herbal texture. Very forgiving, it will not over-steep and blends well with other flavors such as nuts, herbs and fruits.

This herb is perfect for people who don’t usually like tea. With a naturally sweet flavor and plenty of health benefits, it’s much easier to get into tisanes with Rooibos. No need for special equipment and very particular temperatures. Just boil water and steep.

Brewing Suggestions:

Unlock the true depths of the herbal flavor. Bring clean water to 212-degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius) and steep one teaspoon of the herbal tea with a strainer for five minutes. Notice the color change in the water, and the aroma that wafts out.

Fresh From Origin
The South African native plant rooibos (Afrikaans for red bush) turns a rusty red color when the leaves are oxidized. It’s also a reddish color when brewed. When unoxidized, the tisane is called green rooibos. The plant (Aspalathus Linearis) grows only in the regions of the Cederberg Mountains where its aboriginals, the Khoisan, have used rooibos as both a beverage and a medicinal for hundreds of years. In 1772, Swedish naturalist and botanist, Carl Peter Thunberg, aka Karl Peter von Thunberg, was the first to study rooibos and is now considered the father of South African botany.
