A nice cup of tea

Pots of teaHere at The Laine Deli we like a nice cup of tea. So we thought we'd take a moment to explain what that weird one is at the bottom of the list. (Unless you already know, in which case it's probably not weird to you).

It's sometimes spelled rooibos, rooibosh or rooibosch - and it's often called "redbush" here in the UK. Redbush tea is grown in South Africa and is naturally caffeine-free. It's also low in tannin, has a slightly nutty taste and can be served with or without milk.
