Key Ingredients

1. Rooibos: Hailing from the rugged slopes of South Africa’s Western Cape, Rooibos is a red bush known for its earthy and slightly sweet profile. Packed with antioxidants, it brings a warm, mellow base to our African Spice Tea, creating a foundation for the other ingredients to shine.

2. Honeybush: Sourced from the Eastern Cape, Honeybush is a close cousin to Rooibos, distinguished by its natural honey-like sweetness. This ingredient adds a delicate, floral note to the blend, enhancing the overall aromatic experience.

3. Ginger: Zesty and spirited, ginger lends a spicy kick to our tea, reminiscent of the lively markets found in Africa’s bustling cities. Known for its invigorating properties, ginger infuses the blend with a revitalizing warmth that awakens the senses.

4. Pepper: Grounded in the history of ancient spice trade routes, black pepper contributes a subtle, peppery heat that harmonizes with the other ingredients. Its presence is a nod to the spice merchants who once journeyed across Africa, connecting cultures through their aromatic wares.

5. Safflower: Bursting with vibrant color, safflower petals bring a visually stunning element to our African Spice Tea. Beyond its visual appeal, safflower offers a delicate floral nuance, providing a counterbalance to the robust spices.

Health Benefits

Our African Spice Tea not only delights the senses but also offers a host of health benefits. Rooibos and Honeybush are rich in antioxidants that support a healthy immune system and promote overall well-being. Ginger, renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties, aids digestion and invigorates the body. The addition of black pepper enhances the absorption of nutrients, while safflower provides a burst of color and contributes to a visually captivating infusion.

Tasting Notes

The marriage of these exceptional ingredients results in a captivating flavor profile. The initial sip welcomes you with the earthy embrace of Rooibos and the gentle sweetness of Honeybush. As the journey continues, the vivacious notes of ginger and pepper dance on the palate, offering a tantalizing play of heat and spice. The safflower petals, like delicate brushstrokes on a canvas, impart a visually stunning allure and a subtle floral finish.

Brewing Instructions

To fully savor the essence of Africa in every cup, follow these simple steps:

1. Water Temperature: Bring fresh, filtered water to a gentle boil (about 200°F or 93°C).
2. Steeping Time: Allow the tea to steep for 5-7 minutes to extract the full flavor spectrum.
3. Serving: Enjoy this aromatic blend hot, or pour over ice for a refreshing iced tea experience.

In addition to this, prepare herbal Rooibos tea as you would black tea. Drink it with a slice of lemon or a smidgeon of milk and sweeten it with honey or sugar. Serve it as iced tea, cappuccino, espresso, or latte, and explore its rich, dark flavour and reduced “dusty” aftertaste. You will love it.
