Rooibos is the the Dutch African name for the red bush herbal that is the base for many herbal flavored teas and is very healthy. This is an organic production that gives the distinctive flavor of red bush which is drunk by the vast majority of tea drinkers in South Africa.

Rooibos, or "red bush" tea, is made up of rust-colored needle-shaped leaves.

Do you ever feel like having a delicious, comforting cup of hot tea late at night? There's nothing better than a hot beverage while you read a book or do some other relaxing activity to wind down before bed. Rooibos is naturally caffeine free, so go ahead and enjoy a cup before bed.

English Tealeaves sells over 125 high quality teas that are "cherry picked" from over 15 suppliers who specialize in specific types and countries. This gives us the flexibility to find the best of the best. We also blend around 8 teas ourselves that can't be obtained to our standards. For example our #1 selling tea, English Breakfast is our own blend that we created in 2002.

Our Cafe customers give feedback and we discontinue the ones that get poor ratings. We also look to improve our teas and will replace a standard tea, like say Mango, with a higher quality blend from another supplier.

The teas are selected after evaluation in these seven areas and then the scores are weighted to decide if they qualify for inclusion in our range:

Dry leaf appearance
Dry leaf aroma
Brewed infusion color
Aroma brewed
Hot taste
Iced taste
After taste



We also have at least 3 tasters and then compare notes and vote.
