“As far as her mom was concerned, tea fixed everything. Have a cold? Have some tea. Broken bones? There's a tea for that too. Somewhere in her mother's pantry, Laurel suspected, was a box of tea that said, 'In case of Armageddon, steep three to five minutes'.” - Aprilynne Pike, Illusions

ROOIBOS TEAS Rooibos Tea originates in South Africa. It is usually grown in a small area in the region of the Western Cape province. The leaves are oxidized, which produces the distinctive reddish-brown colour of rooibos and enhances it’s flavour. Unoxidised ‘green’ rooibos is also produced, but the more demanding production process for green rooibos makes it more expensive than traditional varieties.
