Rooibos is an unusual drink, not related to the teas we know. After brewing, the brew receives a straw color and a characteristic honey flavor.
It is obtained from leaves of African red bush (Aspalathus linearis) subjected to drying and fermentation.
Red bush is not related to tea (camellia sinensis) and does not contain theine. By convention, dried rooibos are called tea because of a similar method of preparation.
