Rooibos Tea

I first heard of this naturally decaffeinated tea from South Africa a few years ago, but surprisingly haven't written about the delightfully and mellowing slightly nutty flavorful drink. With a tiny amount of honey, this tea becomes a great treat alongside some dark chocolate, cocoa beans, or just on its own. If there's one thing that could break me of my chai addiction, it was this.

Nowadays there are many different brands on the market; even the local HEB has its own homespun brand. It seems people are starting to get the picture that there are many different types of teas out there beyond the celestial seasonings brand...

One day i'd like to open up a tea shop to rival the moral majority of coffee drinkers; maybe it's something that would flourish in Europe, or in the right part of an American town.

Definitely my cup of tea.
