Mellow and rich, Alvita Rooibos Leaf (Red-Bush) tea is known as the "Tea of Africa" since it grows on the high mountain ranges of the South African Cape region. The distinctively tasty, reddish-brown aromatic tea is often use as a substitute for coffee. Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free and has less than half the tannins of regular tea so the flavor is mellow and rich without sharp or bitter tones. Because the tea is less bitter and slightly sweet of its own, little added sweetening is required, making it a good option for those watching their calories.

Ingredients: Rooibos Leaf

Directions: The best way to make a good cup of tea is by the infusion method. Place one tea bag in a cup and add no more than 6 oz. of boiling water. Let steep for 3 minutes. Press the bag before removing to enhance the flavor.

Iced Tea-Microwave: Put 8 teabags in a quart jar of water and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Let steep for an additional 8-10 minutes, remove teabags and chill.

Sun Tea: Put 8 teabags in a covered quart jar of water and allow to stand on a window sill in the sun for 6-8 hours, remove teabags and chill.

Add honey to sweeten.

Rooibos Leaf (Red-Bush) Tea 3.3 5 3 4
Not my favorite I have tried 3 other brands of rooibos (one bought in bulk) and the Alvita is the most disappointing. The flavor is slightly bitter and a bag does not yeld as much tea as other brands. The most disturbing thing to me is also that the tea bags are not individually sealed in individual bags. I think this affects the freshness of the tea. This tea comes from South Africa, while Swanson's rooibos comes from China, but I found Swanson's rooibos much more satisfying. July 13, 2012
Still looking for this kind of tea I had one time loose tea of this kind was more satisfying,but I should say it is convenient w/ tea bags. June 18, 2012
