Starwest Botanicals Organic Rooibos Tea Bags, 1 Pound

Organically grown in the Cederberg region of South Africa's Western Cape province, Rooibos tea is a unique botanical with a distinctive reddish-brown color and a sweet, slightly nutty flavor. The leaves are carefully oxidized or fermented to develop this signature hue and taste profile. Unlike black tea, the preparation of Rooibos is similar, but the flavor is enhanced by longer brewing times, resulting in a rich, reddish-brown liquid that has earned it the nickname "red tea."

This 1 lb package of Organic Rooibos Tea Bags is sealed in a resealable mylar bag to preserve freshness. Each package contains approximately 170 individual tea bags, all certified organic and kosher. The tea is cultivated in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) to ensure the highest quality.

Botanically known as Aspalathus linearis, Rooibos is an indigenous plant that thrives in the small, specialized region of the Cederberg, where the unique soil and climate conditions allow it to flourish. Unlike many teas that are grown across broad swaths of land, Rooibos is only found in this particular area of South Africa, contributing to its exceptional character and limited global availability.

The process of transforming the raw Rooibos leaves into the final tea product involves a careful oxidation or fermentation step. This crucial stage develops the signature reddish-brown hue and the sweet, slightly nutty flavor profile that distinguishes Rooibos from other teas. The resulting brew is a rich, flavorful infusion that can be enjoyed on its own or used as a base for a variety of tea-based beverages and culinary applications.

Whether savored as a hot, soothing cup of tea or incorporated into creative recipes, this Organic Rooibos Tea offers a unique and delightful sensory experience. Its certification as both organic and kosher further underscores the care and attention to quality that has gone into its cultivation and production. Packaged for maximum freshness in a resealable mylar bag, this 1 lb of Organic Rooibos Tea Bags is a testament to the exceptional botanical diversity and skilled farming practices found in the renowned Cederberg region of South Africa.
