Tea from South Africa flavoured with orange and cinnamon

Also called “red tea” (translation from Afrikaans), this plant belongs to the acacia family and has nothing in common with the traditional “Camelia Sinensis” tea except the way it is prepared and consumed.

This bush which exclusively grows in the high plateau of South-Africa is harvested during the summer and is, just like black tea, fermented – which gives this dark red colour – and dried in the sun.

Naturally caffeine free, the popular use even gives it anti-spasmodic and relaxing properties.
The cinnamon and orange flavouring will please all spicy and sweet amateurs; a drink to appreciate all day long, with or without milk and delicious served iced in summer.

Appearance : short thin twig
Colour : reddy brown with golden tips

Tasting advice : delicious plain or sweetened, hot or iced in summer, on its own of with a drop of milk
