The Quick Sip
Rooibos has long been drunk in South Africa. It is a fine herbal for those seeking a naturally caffeine free alternative with a high level of antioxidants. Green Rooibos is to Red Rooibos what Green tea is to Black. Un-oxidized green Rooibos has a milder taste than its Red counterpart. Bali Breeze is an exotic blend that brings to mind the scented calm of a tropical breeze. Composed of Green Rooibos with pieces of mango, papaya, peach and orange peels, and decorated with marigold flowers. Wonderfully flavoured either hot or iced.
Tea Tales
The mango is believed to be native to the Southern and South East Asia including India and Burma. The Hindu Vedas make reference to this exquisitely scented and flavoured fruit as the ‘food of the gods'. Akbar the Great, emperor and great lover of the mango, extended this privilege to the Moghul court and is said to have planted an orchard of 100,000 mango trees, ensuring a steady (and sizable) supply of only the best varietals to his court.
