アフリカンオータムのベースは、人気のハーブブレンドで、南アフリカ原産の「レッドブッシュ」としても知られるマメ科の植物、ルイボスです。ルイボスは酸化発酵させることで赤色に変わり、淹れると「紅茶」の赤に似た色合いになります。抗酸化物質が豊富で、ファンはクランベリーとシトラスがアクセントとなったルイボスの明るさを愛しています。カフェインを含まないハーブブレンドです。
The deep red color when it brews is what got me—it's like a warm sunset in the mug, and the rooibos base gives it a naturally sweet, earthy calm without any caffeine jitters. I've already gone through half the bag in a week, just sipping it during quiet afternoons.
I steeped a mug while working late and honestly didn't expect the rooibos base to come through this smooth—no bitterness at all, even after leaving the bag in a few extra minutes. The red color from the oxidized leaves is exactly as pretty as promised, and it's quickly becoming my afternoon break ri
The color when it steeps is this gorgeous deep red that immediately tells you it's rooibos, and the scent is warm and earthy without being overpowering. I've been swapping my evening tea for this blend and it's become the part of my routine I actually look forward to.
