All About Tea
All about Rooibos Tea
Rooibos is made from the leaves of a different shrub and hence has no caffeine in it so it a good alternative to black tea. It has a red leaf and the colour in the cup is also red when infused as tea. The flavour is warm and earthy and it is drunk without milk.
It is grown in South Africa and is very rich in vitamins and minerals as well as antioxidants so is a very useful drink for those trying to loose weight . In general it has a great many of the claims that green tea has but with the added benefit that there is no caffeine in it.
It can be drunk at night to aid sleep.
It also claimed to have healing properties for common skin problems.
Cotswold Tea has three plain types: Rooibos, Honeybush and Sweetbush aswell as two flavoured products called Kalahari and Fireside. They all take 5-6 minutes to infuse but can be left longer as they do not overbrew like black teas.

Dear Customers
With this long dry spell we have had keeping hydrated is a big challenge but somehow tea always comes up to the mark, be it a rousing cup of Assam or a refreshing light cup of Darjeeling. I have been resting up on the deck of my narrow boat with many a cup of Darjeeling this last month in between packing the new teas like cazy of course!
As it comes arround to the summer holidays I know a number of you just can't go away without your own tea so make sure you get your order in before you set off for your well earned rest.
Have a great summer and take care!
Regards
