Description
Aspalathus linearis
A shrub native to the South African plateaux which is particularly rich in vitamins and minerals. An attractive reddish orange in colour with a mild and delicate flavour. Rooibos contains no theanine and very little tanin. Infuse for 5 to 10 minutes at 95°C, you can drink it black (or should that be red?) or add lemon or milk to taste.
