What is Rooibos Tea?
Rooibos is a shrub exclusive to South Africa. Also known as Red Tea due to its color, Rooibos should not be confused with Red Pu Erh Tea (Camellia sinensis). Rooibos tea contains no caffeine and can therefore be consumed by anyone. It does not become bitter even if left to infuse for a long time. Our natural Rooibos contains a high concentration of flavonoids, making it a powerful detox ingredient for those who want to lose weight. After training, Rooibos tea is an excellent ally in recovering from micro-injuries, as well as helping with hydration and strengthening the immune system.

The species Aspalathus linearis is cultivated by 400 local producers exclusively in the beautiful mountainous region of Cederberg, South Africa. The term “linearis” derives from the long, pointed shape of Rooibos leaves. In this country, Rooibos tea is usually consumed with a slice of lemon, honey, or sugar. It is also common to reuse the same infusion and reheat it during the first 48 hours. Most exports are destined for the United States of America and Germany.

Masala Chai – Curiosities
Masala Chai is a traditional Indian infusion based on black tea with Ayurvedic spices such as cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, anise, nutmeg, ginger, and pink pepper. The flavor of this Indian drink is especially marked by the warm and distinctive touch of cardamom. Although there is a basic Masala Chai recipe, each Indian region has its own formula with specific ingredients that distinguish it from others. Thus, Masala Chai has become one of India’s “calling cards” for thousands of tourists worldwide. Unlike Chai, Masala Chai is prepared by boiling water with whole milk and sugar.

Water temperature: 100 °C
Infusion time: 5 to 10 minutes.
Recommended amount: 1 teaspoon per person. Approx. 2 g per cup.
