The peach is a symbol of truth and purported to have great healing attributes. The story of Rooibos on the other hand starts around the turn of the century in South Africa's beautiful Cedarberg region. It was the locals of the area who first discovered that the fine needle like leaves of the wild Aspalathus Linearis plant made a tasty aromatic tea and it was they who first harvested the plants, chopped them with axes and bruised them with hammers leaving them to ferment before drying in the sun. Cedarburg's microclimate and coarse sandy soil are perfectly suited to this unique species of plant. Unique plants around the world are often only found in certain areas and it is only in South Africa's Cape Province that rooibos grows in its natural state. Today of course, rooibos is cultivated rather than collected from the wild and due to demand; plantations are starting up in other areas of South Africa. Rooibos is an herb that contains no caffeine and those that consume Rooibos have claimed that it has a soothing effect on headaches, disturbed sleeping patterns and digestive problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRooibos seeds are planted in February and March and tended for 18 months after which they are harvested. Cut Rooibos is bound and milled to a uniform length then bruised between rollers to trigger the fermentation process, which results in the characteristic flavor and sweet aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab2\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos \/ Organic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e South Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cedarberg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Super Fine Organic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1500-2500 feet above sea level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermentation turns the leaves from green to deep red and gives a slightly sweet note\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rooibos, Calendula petals, Blackberry leaves, Natural flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCup Characteristics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet and sultry peach notes accentuate fruity rooibos, a medley that lifts you to peach heaven.\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 filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil.

Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1 1\/4 cups\/315ml over the rooibos. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the brewed rooibos into your serving pitcher straining the rooibos or removing the bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing fresh brewed iced rooibos is to increase the strength of the hot rooibos brew since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIced tea brewing method (Individual Serving): Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose rooibos, 1 tea bag or 1 Q3 portion pack into a teapot for each serving required.
