What is Rooibos?
Rooibos tea is a red herbal tea that comes from the fermented leaves of the Aspalathus linearis shrub, a plant native to South Africa.
Many people enjoy it as an alternative to green or black tea. Unfermented green rooibos tea is also available.
Rooibos tea has a sweet, delicate, and earthy flavor. It contains several antioxidants, which may help explain some of the tea’s health benefits.
博士茶和南非的黃金和鑽石並列為南非三寶,自然是因為它具有令人無法抗拒的功效。
南非博士茶(Rooibos)意思為「紅色灌木」,是以一種名為Aspalathus linearis的植物針葉製作而成。它只會生長在南非西開普敦的Cederberg山區,即使是其他國家嘗試種植都以失敗告終,因此博士茶的產量有限。
南非博士茶味道甘酵,帶有植物氣味的芳香,與一般茶類最大的分別,在於博士茶不含咖啡因而且單寧酸含量低,既不像普通茶會傷胃,亦不會導致失眠,因此博士茶不但被譽為南非國寶茶,亦有「媽媽茶」的稱號,以此來表示無論是孕婦抑或準媽媽都能安全飲用,南非博士茶更在2015年被評為《時代雜誌》全球50大最健康的食品之一。
