Today's Teas from Around the World: Rooibos

Rooibos is grown only in a small area in the region of the Western Cape province of South Africa.

Rooibos is becoming more popular in Western countries, particularly among health-conscious consumers, due to its high level of antioxidants such as aspalathin and nothofagin, its lack of caffeine, and its low tannin levels compared to fully oxidized black tea or unoxidized green tea leaves. Rooibos also contains a number of phenolic compounds, including flavanols, flavones, flavanones, and dihydrochalcones.

The flavour of rooibos tea is often described as being naturally sweet (without sugar added) and slightly nutty. Rooibos can be prepared in the same manner as black tea, and this is the most common method. Come and experience this tea for yourself at The Bisbee Coffee Company, as we continue to bring you coffee and teas from around the world.
