Beautiful is the only way to describe this tea.  When you open the package and the aromas of star anise and pear waft from the bag you will realize why we call it "mystical" .  And if that was not enough the addition of helichrysum flowers to the Bai Mu Dan excite the senses visually.

• Use 1 level tsp per 6 oz cup, heat water to 180 ° let steep for 5 minutes to taste.

Rooibos (pronounced "ROY-bos"  Afrikaans for "red bush) is grown in a small region of the Western Cape province.  Generally the leaves are oxidized which produces the distinctive reddish-brown color of Rooibos and enhances the flavor.  The flavor of rooibos is often described as being naturally sweet and slightly nutty.  Rooibos is becoming more popular in Western countries particularly among health-conscious consumers due to the high level of antioxidants, lack of caffeine and low tannin levels compared to a fully oxidized black tea and an unoxidized green tea.
