Rooibos, or Red Bush tea, comes from the South African shrub Aspalathus linearis.
The Khoisan people have used this remarkable plant for many centuries for its medicinal properties as well as for its mellow, sweet, refreshing flavour.
Rooibos is distinctly red in colour, with a soft, mellow aroma and a smooth, sweet, pleasant, calming flavour. This exceptional blend contains Natural Oil of Bergamot for a deliciously different Earl Grey style Rooibos.
The healing properties claimed for Rooibos are many. It is naturally completely caffeine-free, so is ideal for drinking in the evening. It is also believed to contain up to 50 times the antioxidant properties of green tea. It is used medicinally to treat stomach upsets, skin complaints, insomnia and allergies.

Jade Ring consists of the finest, downy leaves from young tea plants less than 5 years old.
It comes from the Fujian Province of SE China and is, to our knowledge, unique. With remarkable skill, the delicate leaves of this tea are gently rolled and twisted into tiny rings. This extraordinary tea is a great conversation piece and ideal for a dinner party or similar occasion, when the clean, nutty, delicately sweet flavour and soothing aroma are an excellent.
After rolling and shaping, the leaves are dried using the pan-frying method. The skill of the tea-maker during this phase of processing lies in matching the temperature of the pan to the moisture content of the leaves. To come into contact with this tea is to be privileged to experience a heritage of tea-making skill that has literally taken centuries to perfect.
