Rooibos tea is derived from a plant known as red bush in South Africa. Rooibos plants are delicate and are grown in a natural setting. It is still a very new tea to the world population but is picking up momentum. I am a lover of all types of teas and though black and green teas are very close to my heart, I have recently become addicted to Rooibos tea. It is naturally decaffeinated and has a very sweet and slightly nutty flavor and is low in tannin. I highly recommend you try this tea at least once.
