Product Description

The story of Rooibos starts around the turn of the century in South Africa's beautiful Cedarberg region. It was the locals of the area who first discovered that the fine needle like leaves of the wild Aspalathus Linearis plant made a tasty aromatic tea. It was they who first harvested the plants, chopped them with axes and bruised them with hammers leaving them to ferment before drying in the sun. Rooibos is a herb that contains no caffeine. - Rooibos seeds are planted during February and March. They are tended for 18 months after which they are harvested. Cut Rooibos is bound and milled to a uniform length then bruised between rollers to trigger the fermentation process, which results in the characteristic flavor and sweet aroma. - The broad range of aromatic and tasty ingredients give Provence Rooibos the special fruity and lavender character. Terrific served hot and sensational served iced! - Flavory with a floral and fruity bouquet - Hot tea brewing method: Bring freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil.
