African Superior rooibos, long cut, is an herbal drink made from the needle-like leaves of rooibos (red bush), which grows in South Africa. It is not tea in the strict sense: it contains no caffeine, and the infusion is soft, slightly sweet, and a warm red-brown color.
The "Superior" designation points to select raw material, and the long cut means the stems and leaves are cut coarsely and keep their natural look. This rooibos is good in the evening and for the whole family; it can be drunk with milk, honey, zest, and spices, or chilled with ice.
