Tisanes
are not tea at all, but are edible flowers and herbs, dried and
blended to be steeped and enjoyed
as a hot beverage in place of tea. Most often tisanes are caffeine
free, but some can contain more caffeine than coffee. We cannot speak
for other tea companies, but our tisanes are always caffeine free.
Each
one will
give you a unique, fragrant and simple
infusion and can be enjoyed iced as well
as hot. For a refreshing change of pace, try this trendy
new brew. |

| Rooibos Pronounced roy-bus, African for red bush, belongs to the Aspalathus plant group, which consists of more than 200 species originating in the mountains of South Africa, and is a member of the legume family of plants. The plant grows up to about 5 feet in height, with a single stem that divides just above the ground into multiple thin branches that carry bright green, needle-like leaves. In spring through early summer, the plant produces small yellow flowers, and each flower generates a one-seeded fruit. Rooibos is often referred to as "red tea" because when fermented, its needle-like leaves turn a rich, red colour. Unfermented Rooibos or green Rooibos contains more polyphenol antioxidants than "red" or fermented Rooibos because fermented Rooibos loses some antioxidants during the fermentation process. Because rooibos is naturally caffeine-free, it can be enjoyed by those who want to avoid the stimulating effects of caffeine. And, because it does not have to be subjected to a decaffeination process, it does not lose any of its polyphenol content (which does occur when green and black teas are decaffeinated). For centuries, South Africans have used this caffeine-free herb to calm digestive upsets, to help induce sleep, and topically to sooth eczema, skin allergies, and diaper rash. |
