Rooibos tea is also called red tea or bush tea. It is categorized as an Herbal tea and originates from South Africa - the only place that grows this tea bush. This tea is famous among South Africans but now it is picking up in the US market. It is famous among health conscious people because it contains no caffeine and is rich in vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, iron, and calcium.
How we drink Roiboos -
South Africans drink this tea without milk, but it can be prepared the same way as black tea. You can use honey or sugar to sweeten the roiboos tea, but it is a naturally sweet tea. This is a great ice tea too. I got a chance to drink hot roiboos tea infused with mixed berry. I can say I really like the taste and for me its like mild black tea with fruit flavor; absolutely delicious.
