Rooibos (red bush) tea originates from the leaves and stems of the Aspalathus Linearis plant which is indigenous to South Africa. The tea is mild, with a fruity, sweet taste and contains no added colours or preservatives.
Traditionally, rooibos is oxidised and this gives it the red colour for which it is known. In addition to our regular rooibos, we are now offering unoxidised green rooibos tea. This tea has a slightly different taste to conventional rooibos and is particularly high in Antioxidants, meaning that it can easily be marketed as a health tea.
We offer top quality rooibos in a variety of cuts, from fine cut tea (for use in double chamber Tea bags) to long cut, loose leaf tea. We supply our teas either in bulk, or packaged into tea bags according to our customers' requirements.
All our tea products are supplied with a valid export inspection certificate from the South African Perishable Products Export Control Board (PPECB), and a phytosanitary certificate from the government’s Department of Agriculture.
Honey bush tea is made from the Cyclopia plant, which is found in the mountains of the Cape region of South Africa. In Spring, the plant grows yellow flowers which have the aroma of honey, and these are followed by flat brown seed pods.
There are 23 different species of the Cyclopia species, but only two are used for commercial tea production, Cyclopia Intermedia and Cyclopia Subternata.
The leaves, stems, and flowers are processed to obtain honey bush tea which brews to a deep dark amber colour. Honey bush tea has a smooth, fruity, sweet taste without the typical bite found in most green and black teas. This is because it contains virtually no tannin.
Like our green rooibos tea, we also offer unoxidised green honey bush tea. The natural antioxidants in this tea have been retained, maximising the health benefits.
Honey bush tea contains no additives, preservatives or colorants. Each cup contains essential minerals such as calcium, copper, iron, potassium, magnesium, manganese, sodium and zinc. Honey bush tea does not contain any caffeine, which makes it especially suited for night-time consumption and for children.
Honey bush contains powerful antioxidants, which clean up free radicals. These are highly reactive molecules that damage your body's cells, leading to disease. Antioxidants bind to free radicals, inactivating them before they cause harm. The antioxidants in honey bush include flavones, isoflavones, coumestans, luteolin, 4-hydroxycinnamic acid, polyphenols, and xanthones.
Honey bush tea also stimulates the liver enzymes that break down cancer-causing substances when they enter the body.The flavours available,Honey Rooibos tea,Earl grey rooibos tea,vanilla rooibos tea,Green rooibos tea,strawberry rooibos tea.We are able to supply any other flavours blend with rooibos teas but subjects to minimum order quantities.
