Stop that berry! Did you know that many of the fruits we commonly call berries aren't in fact berries? It's true - blueberries strawberries cranberries even the raspberries in this blend are technically not considered berries. According to botanists a true berry is a simple fruit with seeds and pulp produced by a single ovary. (These other berries are sometimes referred to as false berries.) Currants the other berry component in this blend happily fall into the true berry category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo just how important are berries true false or otherwise to the human diet? Well in terms of vitamins and antioxidants berries are one of nature's better sources of both. Beyond the health implications however some believe that berries and the numerous recipes they've inspired over the years actually shaped the way people eat. In his book Anatomy of Dessert noted Victorian food writer Edward Bunyard (1878-1939) wrote: It is said that to this fruit we owe the invention of forks and all that has meant to the art of the table. It's also thanks to berries that we are able to blend fantastic rooibos blends like this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA freshly brewed pot of Berry on the Run offers rich berry notes and mellow notes of smooth herbaceous Rooibos.

So what exactly does a raspberry do in Paris?

The delicately flavored Rooibos blend we offer here was developed to invoke the mellow flavor of this French treat. Besides being delicious this herbal tea is also incredibly good for you.

Is this to say that almonds are now a symbol of the spirit of rock and roll? Maybe. Almonds have certainly symbolized many different things to many different people over the years. For the ancient Hebrews they represented hope and promise due to their early spring flowering. In some parts of ancient China the nut was considered a symbol of mourning and enduring sadness while elsewhere in the country it was thought to represent female beauty. In ancient India almonds symbolized deep wisdom while the Romans believed them to be a potent fertility charm.

Others think the trend started when tavern guests began covering their wineglasses with dishes and cards to prevent fruit flies. They believe savvy barkeepers began putting snacks on top of the makeshift lids.

Why? The answer is simple. Rooibos the base of the blend is fat free!

The tiny country produces 172 000 tons of chocolate per year and has 2130 chocolate shops within her borders - they know chocolate.

But did you know the name actually comes from an old recipe of Eastern Canada? To explain we take you to 1930's New Brunswick. In those days a German immigrant named Frederick Wolfhasen began experimenting with new machines to facilitate the picking of the low growing wild blueberries that grew in abundance around his farm. Searching for the ultimate apparatus Frederick built machines with pulleys ropes bicycle pedals you name it. Everything went swimmingly until one day in August of 1934 when he fired up his latest invention a diesel powered picker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe must tell you here that back in the old country Frederick was a tailor not an engineer. Suffice it to say he probably should have kept clear of the internal combustion engine. He pulled the starter. As it began to whir and rumble Frederick began to calculate the dollars he would soon line his pockets with. A half-mile away Frederick's sturdy wife Gisela began to prepare lunch a German pancake made from flour shortening and sugar. As she mixed and stirred she heard what would later be described by the dairyman who doubled as the local reporter as a loud clap booming and most frightful. Running outside Gisela froze in her tracks when she saw what would later be described by the same dairyman as a wall nay a tidal wave of blueberries flying towards the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoments later Gisela her new sundress the porch and her dog Fritz were plastered. Frederick whose English was still not all that good covered the half mile back to the farm house in a mere 5 minutes yelling Blueberries! Bang! Gisela! over and over as he did so. By the time he arrived Gisela being the good stout wife that she was was already back in the kitchen stirring her dough which was now peppered richly with the deliciously sweet wild blueberries. Frederick blurted again Bluberries! Bang! Gisela! To which Gisela replied Yah. Blueberries. Bang. Frederick. Well about 30 minutes later they sat down to the most delicious dish either of them had ever eaten. At her husband's urging Gisela later entered the concoction at the local fair and the name stuck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e90 years or so later we've created this wonderful blueberry bang rooibos tea as a tribute to the Wolfhasens. Caffeine free rich in minerals and with high vitamin content we feel that this is one innovative blend the couple would have gone crazy for. Wonderful hot or cold this tea has the mellow qualities of rooibos with the character of a cupful of fresh wild blueberries.

The two items are most commonly used to flavor chutneys the spicy jams that accompany most Indian meals. It is from one such chutney enjoyed by our Master Taster on a long ago trip to India that we drew our inspiration for the fabulous herbal tea. After visiting the tea auctions one day in Calcutta our Master Taster decided to wander home through the Machua Bazaar the city's famous fruit market. The monsoons having recently passed fresh peaches from Himachal Pradesh (an Indian state bordering Tibet) and a multitude of fresh peach products including chutneys were in abundance throughout the bazaar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the story goes our master taster bought a jar of chutney from one of the market vendors and headed home. At dinner that night the chutney's sweet blend of pulpy peach infused with ginger was such a hit that he decided that the following morning he would head back to the market to buy up the merchant's entire stock. Arriving at the bazaar at the crack of dawn he began wandering in what he thought was the direction of the chutney merchant. Now if you've ever been to the Machua bazaar you'll know that retracing your steps along it's narrow dusty and crowded alleyways is no easy feat. Fixated on the savory blend of peach and ginger our Master Taster wandered the market until evening but was never able to find the merchant's stall. With a sigh of resignation he returned home to finish what was left of the precious chutney and vowed that if he could never have that chutney again he would have to create a tea in its honor. And that gentle reader is exactly what he did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter experimenting with various teas to use as a base for this blend he discovered that the flavor of a mellow rooibos blended with sharp ginger and sweet peach came the closest to his precious chutney. The rooibos he used is a top grade variety produced in the Cedarberg region of South Africa and is noted to be rich in many essential minerals. Like the chutney that inspired it one sip of this brew will send you off on a daydream visit to the bazaars of Calcutta. With sharp hints of ginger offset by juicy sweet peach overtones this is one tea you'll never be able to forget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd thankfully unlike the wares of the mystery chutney merchant you'll always know where to get more!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e South Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cederberg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choice Grade #1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500-2500 ft above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxury rooibos Blackberry leaves Calendula petals Ginger pieces Natural flavors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Refreshing early summer sweet peach notes with hints of light ginger.

Worn by the breakers and the rains and disintegrated by the wind it still stands bold. This line in particular the word bold aptly describes the craggy coast of the Cape a place that takes on almost mythological stature in the American psyche the myth created by bold images of seafarers beach houses battling fierce winds the massive spray of cresting humpback whales and perhaps most famously JFK jogging down the beach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn keeping with this bold Eastern theme we're pleased to present the bold natural flavor of Cape Cod Cranberry Rooibos. Cranberries have a long history on the Cape. The sweet tangy berries were first discovered thousands of years ago by the original native inhabitants and then introduced to Europeans as they began to arrive. Over time cranberries grew to become an essential component of the European diet especially among whalers who ate them to ward off scurvy during long voyages.

Well according to the National Confectioners Association February 19th is Chocolate Mint Day. Mmmm. That's a good day. The combination of chocolate and mint is one of the most delectable flavor pairings known to humankind. It's a fact. The exact origins of the combo are unknown but considering people have known about both ingredients for thousands of years it was no doubt a long long time ago. (The ancient Maya and Aztec of South America discovered chocolate and mint is so old it features in ancient Greek mythology.) In our opinion this exceptional chocolate mint black tea blend is the ultimate expression of the delectable pairing. For a real treat brew yourself a nice hot pot of tea then add a splash of milk and dash of sugar to open up all the chocolaty minty goodness. Here's to Feb. 19 the tastiest day of the year! What type of tea do we use how do we flavor the tea and why do we use natural flavors?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, we only use high grown teas from the top 3 tea growing regions of Sri Lanka - Nuwara Eliya Dimbula and Uva. These three high-grown districts produce flavorful teas that have classic 'Ceylon' tea character which is noted by floral bouquet and flavor notes touches of mild astringency bright coppery color and most importantly - perfect for use as the base tea of our flavored teas. (We have tested teas from various other origins around the world as base stock for our flavored teas but none of these teas made the grade.) Dimbula and the western estates of Nuwara Eliya have a major quality peak during Jan\/Feb whereas Uva and the eastern estates of Nuwara Eliya have their peak in July\/Aug. This 'dual peak period' allow us to buy the best for our flavored tea blends several times during the year ensuring top quality and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, we use flavoring oils, not crystals to give the tea drinker an olfactory holiday before indulging in a liquid tea treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThird, we specify natural flavors. High quality tea tastes good and natural flavors do not mask the natural taste of the high grown Ceylon tea. (The norm for many making flavored tea is to use overpowering artificial flavors which can be used to hide lower quality tea). Natural flavors do not leave an aftertaste giving the tea a clean and true character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt should be noted that natural flavors tend to be somewhat 'soft ' and the flavors slightly muted but for many this is a refreshing change and one of the desired attributes of our naturally flavored teas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sri Lanka\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nuwara Eliya Dimbula or Uva districts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orange Pekoe\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e4800-7600 ft above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003eOrthodox\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxury black tea Peppermint Blackberry leaves Natural flavors.\/p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh lovely mint combined with full flavored chocolate tea that is wonderfully reminiscent of an after-dinner mint.

So how do the two go together? Let's see. Cinnamon is native to Sri Lanka. In fact the world's best cinnamon grows along the coastal strip near the capital city of Colombo. The Cha Cha is a dance that was developed by Cuban immigrants to the United States. After the Portuguese invaded Sri Lanka in 1536 the Sinhalese King paid the Portuguese 110 000 kilos of cinnamon in annual tributes. The Cha Cha became a popular and sexy offshoot of the Mambo around 1954. Cinnamon trees are cropped almost to the ground resulting in a low dense bush with leafy branches from which the best quills of the spice can be plucked. The Cha Cha consists of three quick steps followed by two sultry slower steps. So what unites the two? You guessed it spice! Cinnamon Cha Cha is the perfect blend of mellow Rooibos flavor and hot cinnamon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e South Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cederberg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choice Grade #1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500-2500 ft above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxury rooibos Orange flowers Cinnamon Natural flavors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightly cinnamon hot.

Now, while Napoleon probably ate the pears as most of us do, raw, on their own, the Romans typically stewed pears with honey and spice. In fact, an ancient Roman cookbook attributed to Apicius, De re coquinaria contains a recipe foe a spiced stewed pear patina, a type of souffle.

Well, almost, it is actually a derivative of a custard known as flan and flans are one of the world's oldest desserts. Well, ok, even flans didn't start out as desserts. Flan, which is the generic term for a custard made of milk and eggs was invented by Roman chefs thousands of years ago. The Romans discovered that egg white worked extremely well as a binding agent in holding various ingredients together. They began experimenting by mixing eggs with milk and called their subsequent invention Tiropatinum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInitially, Tiropatinum was not a dessert item. Rather, it was flavored with such delicacies as Ox Tongue or Eel and served as a main course. (Incidentally, we did think about producing an Eel Rooibos but thankfully the idea never made past the early conceptual phase!) As the centuries passed, Tiropatinum evolved into sweet custard with the addition of honey or sugar, and sweet custard evolved into Crème au Caramel with the discovery of caramel - thought to have been first created by French chefs sometime in the 18th century. Someday we hope that food historians will look back on our offering of caffeine free Crème au Caramel Rooibos as an important milestone in the long life cycle of flans, custards and their related culinary cousins.

The Dutch have given the world wooden shoes tulips windmills and salty black licorice. Yes salty licorice. If you ask for licorice in Amsterdam you won't be handed a piece of the sweet red variety we grew up with here in North America. Dutch licorice is actually a derivative of Finnish licorice known as Salmiakki which gets its name from the Latin word for ammonium chloride sal ammoniac the variety of salt that gives the black confection its distinctive salty flavor. The Dutch variety is a little sweeter than the Finnish however thanks to the addition of aniseed. The resulting candy has a complex salty sweet flavor and depending on the ratio of ingredients ranges in profile from mild to extra strong. Our Master Taster being the good Dutchman that he is knew he had to create a tea to capture the unique flavor of the Old Country. He decided to base the blend on a Cederberg district Rooibos from South Africa which imparts an herbaceous character reminiscent of licorice root. The mellow character of Rooibos also layers exceptionally well with the aniseed and natural flavorings that round out the blend.

Another thing the people of Florida know that the rest of us may not is that if you hold a Florida orange in one hand and a non-Florida orange of equal size in the other the Florida orange will feel heavier. Why you ask? Because it is heavier. Florida oranges have thinner rinds than other oranges and as a result of all the Florida sunshine and rainfall are much juicier.

Super sweet tangy and juicy the peach is Georgia's best-loved export and one of summer's tastiest treats. The natural sweetness of the fruit makes it a perfect addition to our South African Rooibos. And why is that? Because the inherent slight sweetness of Rooibos (Latin: Aspalathus linearis) is perfectly complimented by that of the peach and creates an herbal tea that is packed with subtle nuances and a complex flavor profile.Like all herbal teas this Rooibos based blend is caffeine free. But did you know that Rooibos has many other health benefits as well? South African studies conducted over the years have determined that Rooibos tea is high in iron potassium zinc manganese and sodium. As such any Rooibos based drink is not only great for sipping morning noon and night but for the actively health conscious out there it also makes a fantastic post workout refresher. But even if your most strenuous exercise is quietly sitting in a low-slung porch swing in the midday sun the benefits of drinking this tea are still positive. Brew yourself a pot enjoy it hot and savor the aromas of fresh peaches. It also goes without saying that this tea poured over ice is simply fantastic. Try some today - as you recline listening to the ice cubes tinkling in your glass the condensation cooling your hand we're sure you'll find the peachy flavor in your cup to be at once soothing relaxing and revitalizing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e South Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cederberg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choice Grade #1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500-2500 ft above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxury rooibos Blackberry leaves Calendula petals Natural flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Absolutely exquisite!

The experience of visiting this southernmost enclave of Britannia is odd to say the least. One minute you're in Southern Spain enjoying tapas red wine and oranges and the next you're washing down fish and chips with a warm lager followed by a handful of imported black currants for dessert. Truly it is bizarre. The standout features continue as well - Gibraltar is home to Europe's only population of wild monkeys and unlike the rest of the UK cars are driven on the right hand side of the road. To say the least it's a one of a kind kinda place. Adding to the mystique is the combination of cultures that have come together to populate this tiny corner of the globe. As the rock sits at the bottom of Europe facing Africa it has long served as a cultural crossroads of sorts a meeting place for the many cultures that lie north and south of its borders. Sitting at this crossroads as it does it seems fitting that an herbal blend inspired by the territory should also serve as a meeting point of sorts. As such this blend combines blackcurrants a fruit typically associated with northern Europe and marries them with Rooibos an herb found only in Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e South Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cederberg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choice Grade #1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500-2500 ft above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos Red \u0026amp; Black currant pieces Lime leaves Natural flavors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flavor notes as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar.

The sharp flavored root has its roots pardon the pun in both India and China but gets its name from an ancient Indian Sanskrit term stringa-vera which translates into English as body like a horn . The spice is mentioned in the works of Confucious the Koran and various European Medieval cook-books. Ginger grew in popularity because it kept for a long time and was able to survive long trading voyages. The spice subsequently became a frequently traded commodity and at one point was usually offered along with salt and pepper.Now don't worry we haven't unearthed again sorry the pun a centuries old storehouse of ginger for this tea - we've used a freshly grown variety. And what a tea it is! Blended with the mellow character of South African Rooibos and hints of fruit the ginger lifts spicy notes that warm the mouth and cleanse the palate. Incidentally its palate cleansing qualities make it an excellent alternative to green tea when eating spicy Asian dishes.

And why not Giverny was the inspiration for some of the world's best-known paintings. The famous French impressionist Claude Monet called the village home for nearly 45 years and painted some of his best-known works there. The pretty little spot is built along two streets running up a hillside lined with low houses covered in Wisteria and Virginia creeping vines - it is an exceptionally beautiful place. But even more beautiful is Monet's garden tucked in behind his old chateau. To say it is lush is an understatement - broad leafy trees flowers of every color and tropical plants literally fill every corner. The garden is built around a pond crisscrossed by a number of Japanese-style footbridges and filled with Koi. To laze away a warm afternoon there is like spending the day in heaven itself.It is that feeling that we have tried to capture in this wonderful tea.

What else can you say about a blend named after Lady Godiva the 11th century Anglo-Saxon noblewoman who rode naked through Coventry England? Godiva's ride was taken in protest of the taxes her cruel husband had imposed on the town's peasants. Why did she care? Godiva was a lover of the arts. Legend has it that the peasants what with all the tax they were paying weren't able to help pay for public art projects. This Godiva could not abide and decided to do something about it. She asked her husband for a tax reprieve which he said he'd give only if she rode naked through the town. How some will sacrifice for their art!Well with all due respect to the beguiling Ms. Godiva we can confidently say that we've sacrificed nothing for our art - the blending of fine teas - in creating this magnificently rich Rooibos blend quite the opposite in fact. The equally beguiling blend begins with a peak quality Cederberg Rooibos known for its herbaceous character and long smooth finish. To this we added chopped pieces of pure vanilla decadent morsels of cacao bean and peel natural flavoring oils and sunflower petals. The resulting blend is a true stunner. The cup opens with the approachable sweetness of vanilla bean offset by deep notes of chocolate and hints of chopped nuts citrus and orchid. Oh yes we mentioned that this one was best enjoyed au naturel. So if you're feeling adventurous you could order yourself a cup while seated at a cafe in Cap D'agde the nude village in the South of France.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e South Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cederberg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choice Grade #1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500-2500 ft above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos Caramel Vanilla Hazelnut Cacao bean pieces Cacao peel Calendula Sunflower petals Natural flavors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e This sexy blend whisks you away on a caramel chocolate ride.

Succulent and sweet honey has been used to flavor food and drink since at least the days of the Pharaohs. So it was only natural that the little bear would want to feast on the sticky treat as often as possible. It was also only natural that we would blend the all natural flavor of honey with a top quality Cederberg Rooibos. The combination of the herbal tea and the flavor of honey brews up a mellow cup with a sweet yet subtle finish - fresh chamomile in the blend also adds a layer of delicious honey-like tones.

People have been enjoying it throughout the world for millennia. Interestingly however, the spice was originally appreciated more for its sweet scent than its flavor. Biblical references to cinnamon indicate that it was used as an ingredient in the preparation of the anointing oils favored by Moses. In ancient Rome, mourners used cinnamon to mask the smell of funeral pyres - in fact in 65 AD Emperor Nero burned a year's supply on the pyre of his wife Poppaea. By the Middle Ages Europeans had come to appreciate the way it tasted and cinnamon found its place on the tabletops of wealthier households throughout the continent.

Like all Rooibos blends, Le Marche Spice is caffeine free and can be enjoyed at any time of day. Try it steaming hot or poured over ice for a summer treat.

While the rest of the country is obsessed with banking the Italians of Canton Ticino are obsessed with making wine. (A Canton is the Swiss equivalent of a US state - Ticino is the name of the Canton where Lake Lugano is located - something like The State of Texas.) Where the rest of Switzerland is covered in pine trees the Italians have palm trees. (This is a fact. Switzerland has Palms. The lake is responsible for creating an anomalous climate zone that allows them to grow!) And while the rest of the world makes do with Tiramisu some Swiss Italians would rather eat Pilamisu. Oh yes if the Italians of Switzerland can do something differently believe it they will!So yes...Pilamisu. It is believed the variation in name is in homage to the Palatine Hill of Rome the spiritual homeland of Italy. The Palatine was one of the original 7 hills of Rome situated in the very heart of the city. So when they headed northward into the mountains of what would later become Switzerland the Italians wanted to remember where they came from. We all know Italians love to eat so what better way to do that than through a tasty dessert! Pilamisu is similar to the creamy coffee flavored goodness of Tiramisu with a distinctive Swiss twist the addition of a touch of yogurt and sour cherries. If you are lucky enough to stumble upon a fresh Pilamisu seize the moment and indulge. (They are very difficult to come by commercially and are usually only found in the kitchen of a Swiss Nona - grandmother.)We're taking this quirky Swiss dessert one step further by turning it into a deliciously rich Rooibos blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e South Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cederberg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choice Grade #1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500-2500 ft above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos Mango Cherry pieces Yogurt crisps Safflower petals Natural flavors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wonderful!

Ethiopia aside from producing some of the world's finest coffees is the headquarters of the African Union an organization that promotes relationships between the independent states of the continent. So an herbal concoction blending Rooibos from South Africa with the smooth mocha flavor of Ethiopian Coffee seems highly fitting. This blend is truly native to the African continent. Rooibos a pine tree like bush found in the Cederberg district of South Africa is in fact only found in that country. The bush which in Afrikaans means red bush is grown commercially nowhere else on earth making it a true African original. As for the coffee component it is believed that the popular beverage (globally still not as popular as tea!) was discovered in Ethiopia. Legend maintains that an ancient goat herder living in the region of Kaffa in what was then known as Abyssinia (modern day Ethiopia) discovered his goats running about full of energy after eating the ripe red berries of some nearby trees. The trees came to be known as Kafa trees after the region where they were found a name that served as the root word of coffee. South Africa...Ethiopia...but we still have one more country to add to the cooperative. Yemen. While Yemenese coffees haven't actually been used in the blend the word mocha hails from Yemen. The term stems from the Arabic al-Mukh a port city on the Red Sea. From the 15th to the 17th Century al-Mukh was home to a major coffee market. As coffee was shipped around the ancient world people began to refer to it as al-Mukh coffee which over time became mocha. So quite an exotic African blend we have for you here. And how does it taste? In a word amazing. Rich and full-bodied the cup displays herbaceous undertones simmering beneath layers of roasted coffee and sweet notes of chocolate and caramel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e South Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cederberg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choice Grade #1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500-2500 ft above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos Ethiopian coffee Caramel Butterscotch Hazelnut pieces Calendula petals Natural flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exquisite Ethiopian mocha cafe highlights wind their way through lightly sweet chocolate caramel notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInfusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reddish orange to full color (depends on brewing time and quantity used)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing Hot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlace 1 generous teaspoon of loose tea into a cup\/ teapot for each serving required.

The performance which stretched well past Midnight was called insipid lopsided and ponderous by unimpressed Russian critics. Now well more than a century later the ballet is so well enjoyed that for many the Christmas season simply isn't complete without taking in a performance.The tale which focuses on the adventures of a little girl Clara her brother Fritz and a magical nutcracker that comes to life takes viewers on a magical journey starting at home in a 19th century German chateau and ending most famously in the Land of Sweets in a far away kingdom known as Confiturembourg ruled by the beautiful Sugar Plum fairy. At this point in the story the children as well as the audience are enchanted by the kingdom's various inhabitants - Chinese Tea dancers Russian Candy Cane dancers and Danish Marzipan Shepherdess dancers among others. Now we wouldn't be Master Tea blenders if we didn't think that list of performers sounded like a fabulous recipe for a deliciously soothing winter tea blend. To honor Tchaikovsky's memory we've decided to blend exactly that a fabulous tea guaranteed to put a smile on your face even on the longest of winter's nights. Based on a luxury Rooibos we've added the flavors of marzipan and fruit finished off with delicate snowflake candy quins and tiny silver ball candies for a dash of added theatrical flair.

In a word it is magnificent. Or should we say magnifique? New Orleans legend has it that Pecan pie was created by the French shortly after settling in the New World. Apparently the settlers were introduced to the nuts by the early Native American inhabitants of Louisiana. The story unfortunately although very romantic and told often by the inhabitants of the Big Easy has a few holes. For one food historians have been unable to track down a recipe for Pecan Pie older than 1925. For two corn syrup considered an essential component of the traditional recipe was not developed until the 1880's - and the French arrived more than 100 years before that! One thing is known for certain - Pecan Pie is a sweet nutty treat that over the years has become a staple of Southern cuisine.Although no one has concocted any legends about the origin of Pecan Pie Rooibos tea we're still certain this blend will get people talking. The mellow character of caffeine free Rooibos Aspalathus Linearis provides a stunning herbal base for the fresh nutty pecan flavor and sweet caramel topped off with a hint of cream.

The reason for this lies in its altitude above the Mediterranean crisp clean air and lush foliage. Provence literally teems with gardens pastures and woodlands. A walk down one of its many country roads will have you stopping to pick wild strawberries herbs spices and especially flowers. The abundance of both wild and cultivated flowers growing along the roadside gives the very air of Provence the aroma of a natural perfumery. In a word Provence is an intoxicating and tranquil place. (Ok, that was 2 words but it helps illustrate our next point!) That we decided to replicate the experience of a walk in Provence by developing a tea that is at once heady full of floral character and superbly mellow. We believe that this blend of caffeine free Rooibos and fresh Lavender does just the trick. We also believe you will find it to have a certain je ne sais quois that will inspire you to sit back close your eyes and dream of an afternoon in the sunshine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e South Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cederberg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choice Grade #1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500-2500 ft above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxury rooibos Rosehip shells Dried black currants Rose leaves Lavender Raisins Dried red currants Rose petals Dried Blueberries Natural flavors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flavory with a floral and fruity bouquet perfumy lavender notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInfusion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reddish orange to full color (depends on brewing time and quantity used)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab3\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing Hot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBring cold water to a boil.

We came up with many different answers. The final, and most profound was this: It tastes like a mellow, herbaceous Cederberg Rooibos blended with a medley of fruit and balanced out with a touch of Amaretto. Simple yet so deep, you know?

The reason for this is two fold. For one the Rooibos that forms the base of this blend is grown near the town. The second is that the town is named after Earl Grey himself. In fact History tells us that Henry George Grey the 3rd Earl of Grey was also known as British Colonial Secretary Viscount Howick. Howick lent his name to the new town as it was being formed near the Mgeni River in KwaZulu Natal back in the 1800's. The town developed as European settlers moved to the country and began to populate the more remote corners of the territory. Howick accommodated the needs of the droves of settlers and wagon-drivers that crossed the river as they went looking for farmland. The weary travelers would stop for refreshment supplies and a well needed break from the trail. It seems fitting that this tea share its name with a man whose name - or one of them at least - became synonymous with repose and refreshment. Interestingly it was Howick the 3rd Earl of Grey who first conceived of the idea of allowing free trade between England and her colonies. Like all great Earl Grey teas this tea is flavored with all natural Bergamot oil. Brew yourself a pot and note how well the citrus character engages with the mellow herbal character of the Rooibos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e South Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cederberg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choice Grade #1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500-2500 ft above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxury rooibos Cornflower petals Natural flavors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e For the herbal tea drinker who has everything.

Or perhaps the 2\u003csup\u003end\u003c\/sup\u003e century Roman aqueduct in Segovia Spain, certified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985? Both are worthy of mention. Andrés Segovia’s guitar work was so spectacular, (he transcribed many important classical works for the guitar), that in 1981 he was granted nobility status by King Juan Carlos I. After the ceremony his official title became, \"El señor don Andrés Torres Segovia, marqués de Salobreña,\" which translates as \u003cem\u003ethe Most Illustrious Lord The Marquess of Salobreña.\u003c\/em\u003e Now that’s impressive. The aqueduct is equally as lofty in stature. This was built by Roman architects to provide water for the city of Segovia and is comprised of 166 arches and 120 pillars built from 20,400 granite blocks put together entirely without mortar or clamps – also incredibly impressive. Still, for us, what comes to mind when we here the name Segovia is muffins. Yes…muffins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe admit, it might sound a little odd, but, on a visit to Segovia on his way to visit some shepherd friends in Tunisia, our Master Taster stopped at a café near the Aqueduct and had a muffin that changed his life. The sun was hot, the muffin was delicious and if you can believe it, the music of Andrés Segovia was playing inside the café. Clearly, the planets had aligned. The muffin contained a delicate mix of berries, bilberries, red currants, cranberries and blackberries to produce a juicy palate of tart sweetness intermingled with sweet doughy goodness. Upon his return from his trip to the Tunisian hill country, our Master Taster did what any tea master would do when stumbling across such an incredible flavor combination…he developed a new tea blend. We present the fruits of his labor.

Although the country is usually associated with vineyards and grapes South Africa actually has numerous pick-your-own farms scattered throughout the countryside. On this particular visit a few years ago our Master Taster decided that he had to have strawberries and he had to have them right then and there (Tea Masters can be an eccentric bunch). His host drove him to the Polkadraai Farm Stall known locally for its amazing crop of strawberries known as aarbei in Afrikaans. After a day toiling in the hot South African sun he naturally asked for something to cool him down. You can imagine his surprise when instead of something cool like lemonade he was handed a steaming cup of Cederberg district Rooibos tea. His host informed him that the hot drink would raise his internal temperature which would in turn lower his external temperature and make him feel quite comfortable. Our Master Taster discovered that the technique worked! He also discovered that the mellow flavor of the Rooibos went particularly well with the bushel of strawberries they had collected. Soon the gears started to turn and moments later he knew he had stumbled upon a wonderful idea for a new tea - Strawberry Tingle Rooibos. Brew yourself a pot and discover what he discovered that day at the farm - Rooibos and strawberry create a harmonious match that will truly delight your tastebuds - and it's caffeine free!

Even the philosophy behind Thai cuisine is all about achieving harmony and balance. Thai dishes are characterized by the balance of five fundamental flavors - hot \u0026amp; spicy, sour, sweet, salty, and bitter (optional).

Spaghetti. Olive oil.Espresso. These are the foods we normally associate with Italy and Italian cuisine, but did you know that Italy consumes more pears than any other European nation? Or that Italy is the world's second largest grower of pears after China? It's true. Italians have been enjoying pears since the days of ancient Rome. The fruit holds a special place in their hearts not only because of their delicious flavor on their own but because they are wonderful to cook with and pair with other foods. Nowhere is this truer than in the breathtakingly beautiful villages of Tuscany. Tuscan chefs have created many recipes over the years, and routinely whip up such delicacies as pears poached in white wine, sliced pears with fresh Parmesan cheese, or spicy pear pastries.The slightly tart highly adaptable flavor of Italian pears is perfectly complimented by their high nutrient content. The fruit is high in fiber, vitamin C, potassium, and folic acid. Well in the spirit of adaptability we've decided to try something new and match the sweet profile of pear with the mellow character of a South African Rooibos. We believe that what we have created evokes the feeling of a relaxing afternoon under the Tuscan sun - perhaps sitting under a pear tree.

Why? Because the word commitment doesn't scare people off when you're talking about truffles. And the Swiss should know. They've been wooing people the world over with their chocolate confections since 1697. In that year Heinrich Escher the mayor of Zurich drank some hot chocolate while on a business trip to Brussels and became infatuated with its delicious flavor immediately. From that day forward the histories of chocolate and Switzerland became inextricably linked. Over the next 200 years or so chocolate making in Switzerland thrived as a small-scale cottage industry with small companies experimenting with all sorts of ways of producing chocolate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1819 that all changed when a man named Francois-Louis Cailler built Switzerland's first chocolate making factory and set the stage for the world famous industry we have all fallen in love with. As a way of saying thank you to the fine chocolate makers of Switzerland we decided to concoct an herbal tea that reflects the flavor of one of their finest delicacies - the white truffle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite chocolate which forms the base of white truffles derives its milky color from the presence of up to 3 times the amount of cocoa butter found in traditional dark chocolates. The cocoa butter gives the truffles a very smooth mild chocolatey taste which is also evident in the flavor this blend. Like all Rooibos teas this one is caffeine free high in minerals and has a very unique full-bodied profile. The character of the white chocolate is perfectly balanced by the subtleties of the Rooibos and the hint of mint that was added to help round out the blend. The result is in our humble estimation one of the tastiest Rooibos blends on the market. It is also in our humble estimation like chocolate itself better than sex. Why? There's no need to fake anything when enjoying a cup of this tea - any sounds of pleasure you feel inclined to emit will be all natural!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e South Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cederberg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choice Grade #1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500-2500 ft above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos Caramel Hazelnut pieces Calendula petals Cacao bean pieces White chocolate pieces Natural flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exquisite sweet chocolate bakiness explodes at the first sip and tidbits of mint meander throughout.

Great question. It's a long and convoluted tale.St. Petersburg's Winter Palace was commissioned by Catherine the Great and built between 1754 and 1762. As it goes the architect that was charged with designing the opulent structure with its 1786 doors and 1945 windows was an Italian named Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli. Rastrelli knowing nothing of Russia or Catherine the Great naturally wanted to bring the comforts of home with him to his new city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the architect this included the sweet taste of Marzipan or in Italian Marzipane made famous by the artisans of Palermo who molded the confection to resemble fresh fruit. In particular, he loved a special version made with Moroccan almonds imported to Sicily via Tunisia. In his traveling chests he stockpiled enough to last him through his first season. Unbeknownst to Rastrelli his patron Catherine the Great was also a lover of Marzipan. However owing to her German descent she was born Sophie Friederike Auguste von Anhalt-Zerbst it was typically the Germanic version of the sweet treat she craved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnbeknownst to Rastrelli, Catherine the Great was also a great lover of the men-folk. One day while casually enjoying a papaya shaped piece of Marzipan after lunch Catherine spotted him in the hall. It was love at first sight. Rastrelli offered her some of his desser. Catherine acquiesced and offered him, well, we can't go there. In the end the Winter Palace was completed a little behind schedule perhaps but at least the architect had a smile on his face. In the immortal words of Jack Palance: Believe it or not. To celebrate the fortuitous nature of this historical meeting we've blended this fantastic herbal tea with Rooibos almond pieces dried papaya and natural flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e South Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cederberg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choice Grade #1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500-2500 ft above sea level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermentation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos Almond + Papaya pieces Natural flavors\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e What a tea!

How can you maximize the potential health benefits of Organic Rooibos, one of the world's healthiest beverages?\u003cbr\u003e A. You craft grind it in a traditional Japanese style Matcha mill. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile this unusual step may seem unorthodox, Matcha grinding represents the latest step in a long tradition of Rooibos innovation. How so? Let's take a look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe needle-like plant, which grows only in South Africa's Cederberg district, was discovered by the region's early inhabitants more than 300 years ago. They harvested the plant with axes, bruising the leaves with hammers in order to draw out the enzymes present in the leaf. From the very start, they recognized that by roughly handling the leaves in this manner, a beverage could be brewed that invigorated the body and refreshed the mind. And so the years passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext stop, the early 20th century. According to the South African Rooibos council, by that time, the plant had captured the attention of a noted medical doctor named Dr. Le Fras Nortier. He began researching Rooibos - medicinal value and studying its feasibility as an agricultural crop. Thankfully, his research and innovative outlook paid off, and Rooibos began life as a commercial crop in the 1930s. By 1984, Rooibos tea was making news in Japan where natural health practitioners believed it had anti-aging properties. By 2006, Rooibos espresso was taking South Africa's coffee shops by storm. Which leads us to the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2013, Metropolitan Tea took the unprecedented step of grinding Organic Rooibos in a Matcha mill. The results, as we hope you will agree are nothing short of amazing. Like all Matchas, when you consume Organic Rooibos Matcha, you'll be consuming the leaves themselves and maximizing your intake of all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals contained within this wonder of nature. Prepare yourself for a truly stunning development in Rooibos history.

Masala chai with its base mixture of ginger cardamom cinnamon coriander clove and black pepper is generally considered to be one of the more overtly spicy examples of all blends.

It is believed the region, the second largest Autonomous Community in Spain, (something like a State in the US), got its name from the Moors. After the battle of Las Naves in 1212, the Moors, Spain's Arab conquerors decided to name the place Al-Andulus, which in time the Spanish adopted as Andalusia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Moors gave Andalusia a considerable amount more than a name. A few hundred years prior to the battle of Las Naves, they also brought over the lemon, which like the name Andalusia, the Spanish would later adopt as their own. The Moors loved the yellow fruit. They couldn't get enough of them really and so, throughout the 8th and 9th centuries, as they conquered much of North Africa, parts of Southern Italy and, of course, Spain, they planted groves to ensure they might never have to go without.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Moors were finally expelled from Spain in 1492, but their lemon groves remained. To this day, lemons are a firmly entrenched part of Andalusian cuisine and are served with virtually every meal. One of the most fabled growing areas is the Valley of Lecrin, which in English is The Valley of Happiness. In the valley, the lemon trees grow on ancient terraces accessible only by mules. A visit will show you the campesinos, farmers, trundling up into the groves and coming back with bushels, gleaming yellow for sale by the roadside.

The modern Rooibos industry was started in 1904 by Benjamin Ginsberg, a Russian immigrant to South Africa whose family had been in the tea business for years. This experience gave him the marketing savvy to know how to produce and sell what his intended target consumer was looking for. Initially, Benjamin realized that Rooibos could have a broad mass appeal owing to its unique delicious flavor, purported health benefits, and the scarcity of black and green teas throughout the South African colonies. For a time, his standard production Rooibos filled the needs of this market. Over the last century however, as Rooibos popularity grew throughout North America and Europe, innovative new products were needed to supply emerging niches, such as the certified organic market.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnter Organic Green Rooibos. Although normal Rooibos cultivation uses pesticides very sparingly to begin with, and fungicides never at all, the growing demand for organic produce saw the planting of Organic Rooibos patches overseen by 3rd party certification authorities. Following this came the development of green, unfermented Organic Rooibos. (Like all Rooibos teas, organic green Rooibos is naturally caffeine free.) The leaves were harvested, bruised and immediately fired, foregoing the traditional fermentation process. A hit was born!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreen Rooibos is delightfully aromatic and more delicate than a traditional rooibos.

A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced rooibos is to increase the strength of hot rooibos since it will be poured over ice and diluted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Specialist Tea Company","offers":[{"title":"100 g","offer_id":1223921521,"sku":"94-100","price":10.9,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250 g","offer_id":1223921525,"sku":"94-250","price":21.19,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 g","offer_id":1223921529,"sku":"94-500","price":32.08,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg","offer_id":1223921533,"sku":"94-1000","price":60.54,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 Bags","offer_id":1223921537,"sku":"2564-15","price":8.44,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 Bags","offer_id":1223921541,"sku":"2564-24","price":12.28,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 Pods","offer_id":1875749505,"sku":"7007-24","price":17.43,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"48 Pods","offer_id":1875749569,"sku":"7007-48","price":33.86,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"96 Pods","offer_id":1875749633,"sku":"7007-96","price":65.74,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/3859\/products\/94.jpeg?v=1442449319"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/3859\/collections\/Rooibos-collection.jpeg?v=1425321607","url":"https:\/\/coasttocoasttea.ca\/collections\/rooibos.oembed","provider":"Coast To Coast Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
