Red Tea is made by bruising the leaves and stems right after they are picked and then leaving them to naturally ferment. The resulting tea has a naturally sweet smooth taste and is a rich amber color, thus the name "red bush" tea. It contains 50 times the amount of antioxidants of traditional green tea, far out-distancing green tea benefits. Rooibos is the only tisane tea that readily accepts cream or milk - just like the traditional tea you're used to.
