 Anyone familiar with rooiboos tea? Ran across it at the local grocery last week. Researched and it's apparently a "miracle" tea -- no oxalates, no caffeine, low in tannins, high in antioxidants and various minerals, supposedly has an array of health benefits. Fetched a box, made it iced. It's ... different. Found a description that it's "nutty," which sort-of it is but that doesn't seem quite exactly right. | ||

 I'm assuming you got this at HEB. I've been buying and drinking this for about 3 or 4 years at least. If you come to like this tea, I'd keep a box on hand at all times. There are times during the month they won't have it on the shelves, sold out. I thoroughly enjoy it. A slight sweetness. I have a good 8-12 oz mug (hot or cold) daily in the afternoon/evening after work before I have my sleepy time tea. Daily I have green tea, rooibos tea, and sleepy time tea. My top rack fills with mugs fairly quickly in the week lol. | ||

Most people like Rooibos (red bush) tea, but some people (like me) are sensitive to the side effects of it. I got cramps after drinking it regular for a while. Here's an article about the side effects. It's good to know it's not always harmless.

Someone at work occasionally buys it to stock the company fridge. I can't claim to be a fan. It tastes like moldy leaves to me. Last time I saw it in the fridge, I forgot I don't care for it, and wound up hiding a mostly filled bottle in the trash. Shame on me.
On a similar note, anybody tried yerba maté? | ||

 I love Rooibos tea!!!!!! It's my summer time drink. I keep a pitcher of it iced in the fridge and I also make a lemonade with fresh lemon juice and sweetened with honey and make my own version of an "arnold palmer" It's the first thing my friends ask for when they come in the door.

Rooiboos I love it! To me, it is one of the few herbal "teas" that I like without any added sweetening, either traditional or calorie-free. I have a large canning jar full of it in my kitchen at all times. Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||

I bought the grocery chain's house brand, don't know from where/who they source it. I made a gallon with 1 cup of sugar. Says 3 to 5 bags per quart, I used 9 bags. Sometimes plain/iced, sometimes with lemonade added per urologist's advisory regards to citric acid being helpful to ward-off kidney stones. | ||

A leading advocate Of Red Bush Tea
is Mma Ramotswe, a lady of traditional build and founder of The No.1 Ladies Detective Agency in Botswana - Mma is pronounced "Ma" and is a tern of respect for ladies .
The character is, of course fictional, but there are episodes of one season's TV on YouTube. There have been many more radio adaptations done here, but I could not find any on line for streaming. I had never heard of this tea before hearing the story. CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK
