I was first introduced to Rooibos Tea about 5 years ago. It's a red tea whose leaves come from a plant grown in South Africa. The leaves are oxidized or fermented in tea terminology and this is what gives the leaves its reddish colour, also enhances the flavour.
Rooibos means Red Bush in its native language. I usually have this tea with a teaspoon of honey and a squeeze of lemon, like I drink my green tea. But apparently in South Africa they have it with milk and sugar like our normal white tea, should try it next time.
And though I am currently using the Lipton brand here it's not the best Rooibos tea, I think Lipton is best for your evening chai. Have to scout around the organic stores for better tasting and probably more authentic of this kind.
Oh and that mug you see, is a Cancer Star Sign mug though "Moody" and "Impatient" can easily be transferred on to the Gemini mug.
