THIS BRAND HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED

Manufacturer's Brand Overview [Edit]

10° South TM Red Teas are brewed from the South African Rooibos herb, Aspalathus linearis. Botanically unrelated to Camellia sinesis, the plant whose leaves are used to make white, green, oolong, and black teas, Rooibos is one of the world's rarest teas. This delicate shrub with bright green, needle-like leaves can be found only in the Cederberg Mountains. Once a year, the leaves are picked, bruised, fermented, then sun-dried. The tea achieves its distinctive red color when the leaves are hammered or crushed during the bruising step. Well known in its native land for its healing and rejuvenating properties, Rooibos red tea has been called the "New Miracle Brew" because of its many health benefits. 10° South TM Red Teas taste great and are revolutionary. A ready-to-drink Rooibos red tea with up to fifty times more antioxidants than green tea, our teas re-hydrate like water and contain no calories, carbohydrates, sugar or caffeine. Unlike other teas, red tea contains iron, magnesium and calcium. It's high in antioxidants, low in tannins and naturally caffeine free. All this with a great taste puts Rooibos red tea in a league of its own. The proprietary formula utilizes only the finest super-grade rooibos (top 8%) harvest and ingredients to produce a clean, distinctive and unique tasting tea available in six delightful flavors:
