Better than coffee...?
South Africa, for those who haven’t been there, is without a doubt, one of the most beautiful countries in the world. From the Drakensberg mountains to the Natal beaches and the Wild Coast, to the flourishing (though endangered elsewhere) White Rhinos in Hluhluwe Umfolozi park. Home of the Bushveld and one of the most amazingly beautiful cities in the world: Capetown.
Visitors there will find hospitality from all South African people of all colors. And undoubtedly they will be served rooibos tea. Rooibos means red bush in Afrikaans, the Dutch dialect some speak there. It is native to Southern Africa and is drunk regularly by everyone there. Recent studies have shown rooibos to be extremely rich in antioxidants, surpassing even green tea. And it’s caffeine free.
And the taste is wonderful: hints of vanilla and pear with a rich backbone. It’s incomparable – the best way is just to taste it.
The geniuses at Red Espresso have come up with a way to make rooibos even more appealing – they’ve presented it in a brewable form. This can be used in espresso makers or French press coffee makers (there are a number of ways to prepare it), yielding a richer brew. Mmm. We’ve tried it warm and cold and couldn’t be happier.
