FIRST SIGHT I was first introduced to Redbush tea a couple of years ago while spending some time working in Boston. A cousin owns a coffee shop there, and during the course of my shameless poncing of free beverages, along with a slice of some nice lemon cake he served me some tea which he described as "African bush tea". He's a bit of a tea expert. Alongside the coffee shop he also has a fancy shop that sells all kinds of imported tea, and this was some stuff that he'd just got in which he'd grown quite fond of. I'd never even heard of this stuff before, but I was suitably impressed with its subtle yet satisfying taste. Plus it was warm and Boston is ...  Read the complete review

I have tried quite a few varieties of redbush tea - and I find this one quite favourable with a nice rounded flavour. Concerned with the amount of sugar I was consuming in regular black tea, I firstly began cutting down on tea and then I finally switched to redbush tea for a trial period. I immediately enjoyed it without sugar and even began to get quite addicted to it. Thankfully, I have a much healthier attitude to it now, and have stopped craving it. I now drink this mostly (with a green tea or a black tea every once in a blue moon). Rich in antioxidants - what does that mean? Basically antioxidants mop up cancer-causing toxins that come from processed ...  Read the complete review
