Red Tea

Red tea, commonly referred to as "rooibos," is derived from the Aspalathus linearis shrub, which grows exclusively in the Cederberg region of South Africa. Unlike traditional teas from the Camellia sinensis plant, rooibos is naturally caffeine-free and offers a unique flavor profile. The tea, recognized by its striking deep amber to red color when brewed, has a smooth, sweet taste that sets it apart from other teas.

The scent profile of red tea is notably warm and soothing, featuring a blend of earthy, nutty, and sweet tones. It often carries hints of caramel and vanilla, sometimes with a subtle spicy undertone. The overall aroma is gentle and can be described as woody or similar to dried fruit. This makes red tea a comforting choice, particularly appealing in colder weather or for those seeking a calming, nighttime beverage. Rooibos also blends well with other flavors, including cinnamon, citrus, or mint, which can enhance its natural scent profile further.
