Rich in antioxidants, this Cape treasure relieves many ailments. Moreover, its pleasant taste is appreciated by all family members. Let's zoom in on the miracle drink from Cederberg.

Rooibos: a tea, an infusion, or a herbal tea?

Rooibos is an infusion obtained from the leaves of the eponymous shrub. This herbal tea does not contain theine. It is therefore not a tea.
Its name "red tea" comes from its reddish color. However, it should not be confused with real red tea, which we call black tea. This Asian tea contains theine.
As rooibos must be infused to be drunk, its full name should therefore be red rooibos infusion or herbal tea.
