ISSUE 21 / JANUARY 2012
Rooibos Tea (pronounced Roy-Boss) is indigenous to South Africa’s Cedarburg mountain region. Also known as “Redbush” or “Red Tea,” Rooibos has become the hottest trend in the tea industry due to its pleasant taste, rich mahogany color and abundant health benefits. Comax Flavors captures the slightly sweet, somewhat nutty and subtly distinct taste in their Rooibos Tea Flavor.
Despite its name, Rooibos Tea is not really a true tea – it’s actually an herb! Therefore, the brew made from dried Rooibos leaves and boiling water is an herbal infusion, known as a tisane, rather than a regular tea. Aside from its delightful flavor, one of its highly praised attributes is that it’s naturally caffeine free, unlike conventional teas. In addition, this good-for-you herb packs a healthy punch of antioxidants, polyphenols and many other nutrients.
Although South Africans have been enjoying Rooibos Tea for hundreds of years, it just recently gained popularity in other parts of the world. Comax Flavors Rooibos Tea Flavor offers the “once exclusive” experience in either a liquid or powdered form. This flavor of the month is natural and water soluble, and ideal in applications such as beverages or baked goods. Comax Flavors Rooibos Tea is an exciting flavor option to appeal to current and future tea enthusiasts.
