Rooibus (Rooibos) tea (pronounced roy-bos) means “red bush” in Afrikaans.  Rooibus is herbal, caffeine-free, and contains powerful antioxidants.  It is also lower in tannins than green or black tea.

Rooibus is grown only in a small area of South Africa.  It is slowly becoming more popular in the U.S. for the health conscious.

I recently bought a specialty Rooibus tea from a company called Christiani-Tea. I chose a flavor infused tea called Chocolate Mint.  The ingredients are organic Rooibus, organic cacao nibs, and organic peppermint leaf.  Added to those main flavor ingredients are apple and orange peel.

The combination?  Wow!  Absolutely delicious.

This tea was naturally sweet with a slightly nutty flavor which I understand comes from the Rooibus.  The chocolate and peppermint complemented each other without dominating the overall tasting experience.

The chocolate mint makes this perfect for dessert.  It’s just like sipping a Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie but without the calories!
