Rooibos

Rooibos tea - a gift from the African gods or nature?

Both in ancient times, the aborigines of Africa and the modern inhabitants of the hot continent loved and love "tonic coffee". But, in its original form! This is a unique rooibos tea, which is considered both a gift of the gods and a gift of nature. Its exclusivity begins with its origin: aspalathus linearis - a shrub of the legume family, called the "red bush", which has the appearance of thin branches with soft needle-like leaves, grows only on the Cape of Good Hope, near the Tsarskoye Selo Mountains. The appearance is quite unusual: pointed red branches are associated with something mystical, sinister. Although this does not prevent it from enriching the peoples of Africa, and today the European continent, with a wonderful healing drink made from the leaves of an exotic plant. You can buy rooibos in Ukraine in many specialized tea shops, but the price of rooibos tea in «Miy Chay» will really please you. The cost is acceptable for every average Ukrainian family. But, more on that later...

In Europe, active sales of rooibos tea began at the beginning of the 20th century. Initially, it was especially popular in England and Holland. Currently, it is actively consumed in Germany. In our country, it has also found a sufficient number of fans, thereby taking a worthy place in the market of exotic teas.

The price of rooibos is not so "sky-high" due to the fact that its production is not so complicated (for example, compared to elite Chinese teas).

For its production, shrubs are used that are at least 1.5-2 years old. The tops of thin upper branches are cut off. At the factory, they are crushed, fermented - spread out on special surfaces, poured with water and dried for several hours under the scorching African sun. After that, they undergo rapid drying in vacuum drying units. As a result, the dry crushed raw materials acquire a brick color, which is subsequently transferred to the drink.

They even make African espresso from it, which is practically no different from the coffee we are used to.

If you look at the Miy Chay catalog, you can see that manufacturers offer not only “pure” types, but also flavored ones - strawberry, caramel, raspberry... In such drinks, fruity aromatic shades acquire bright expressiveness, which makes them especially beautiful, romantic, and elegant.

Buying rooibos means treating yourself to an extraordinary drink that is dominated by:
woody-nutty aroma, taste - herbal, rich, sweetish, in some cases - elegantly fruity, with a slight tartness, the infusion has a rich color with a distinct reddish saffron glow. If brewed correctly, a thick "cap" of foam forms at the top.
