Aspalathus linearis
Rooibos or red tea has a nutty, semi-sweet flavor with notes of honey and rose. It comes from a South African shrub, and is valued for its high antioxidant levels. Rooibos may also relieve gastrointestinal issues, and can be useful in promoting heart health. It is a good alternative for those who are sensitive to caffeine, or whose digestive systems are irritated by the high tannin content of black, green, and white teas.
