Rooibos was discovered by native habitants of South Africa and is usually grown in the Cederberg, a small mountainous area in the region of the Western Cape province of South Africa as Cyclopia Intermedia plant. This straw-coloured plant grows in South Africa and has a sweet, honeyed flavour. It is known for its mild taste and lack of bitterness found in traditional tea. It does not contain caffeine and therefore can be drunk even by infants, and having a cup in the evening will not hurt your sleep. This particular Honeybush wild plant grow in small area of the Kouga mountain range called Longkloof District and is the most sought after Rooibos variety among indigenous people of South Africa. Leaves of this wild plant are thicker than regular Rooiboss plant and flavour is more sweet and intensive. Compare to Fine Wine we can say "full bodied". The product has been popular in Southern Africa for generations and is now consumed in many countries. In South Africa, it is common to prepare Rooibos tea in the same manner as black tea: add milk and sugar to taste. Other methods include a slice of lemon and using honey instead of sugar to sweeten. Just do it on your own way. Health benefits of drinking our Rooibos tea: Being rich in iron, Rooibos prevents nausea and is recommended for pregnant women.

Good Value but small cut.
Bought at 1kg for 16 GBP this was for my mum who uses it loose leaf in a brewing bobble. Flavour is good, value is good but the cut is small - she was hoping for less of the floor sweeping and more of the bush - be prepared for a good amount of free tea in the bottom of the cup :)

Good value but not so good taste
Have bought this item twice, once in the past and again recently but the taste differed by quite a margin. The first was great. More recently it had a strange slight pepper like finish so returned it. I appreciate it's probably a different batch but if it can change by that much then quality control is poor. I'll be looking for a new product unfortunately!

Good price
Happy with tea for the price although it seemed to be slightly lacking in flavour. Could just be me since have noticed this with other things I've tried lately..

Excellent quality Red Bush tea
Very good quality and taste. It's different for people used to standard "tea" in the UK, but it's definitely worth trying.

One of the best Rooibos teas on the market.
A fantastic quality product, received and enjoyed as soon as it arrived. Exactly as described, packed in a nice brown craft bag with foil inside to keep it as fresh as the day it was dried. Thank you Tea Paradise for supplying a superior quality product.

Great product, quality and taste. So long tea bags!
Great product. We can't get our usual rooibos tea bags so had a look on Amazon. The real seems to be of a great quality and tastes delicious. Don't think we'll be going back to tea bags any time soon.

Nice for making a big potful
Great product. Finely processed and of a good quality. A couple of tablespoonfuls make a big potful and it is full of flavour.
