There is something very relaxing about sitting down with a good cup of tea. During the working day, I am pretty partial to elevenses and/or afternoon tea involving a sweet treat and a good cup of black tea with rice milk.
Our naturopath recently asked my husband and I to try and cut out caffeine (and therefore black tea) all together. My husband and I looked at each other with fear! How were we going to get through the day without copious amounts of black tea?!
After a bit of tea research, and some trial and error, we have come across our perfect replacement black tea. And, to be fair, it is actually much nicer than black tea - Rooibos (red) Earl Grey!!! The infusion of earthy, mellow rooibos and bergamot is divine, and is as full-flavoured and full-bodied as black tea.
I have mine the same as I had black tea - with a splash of rice milk. My husband (who is a lot less strict with his diet) has his with sugar and cow's milk. As it turns out, the rooibos and honey bush tisanes generally taste quite good with milk, unlike green, white or other herbal teas.
Everything has been restored in the world!

Here is an excerpt from the T2 website about rooibos and honeybush:
"A famed & feisty South African infusion.
Same, same but different, these two African varieties of bush tea are an absolute bombshell of health benefits. Naturally sweet and slightly nutty, Rooibos or “red bush” is cultivated from a native South African shrub, as is the closely related Honeybush or “bush tea” which has a distinctly sweet fragrance that is similar to honey. While not technically teas both are caffeine-free and high in antioxidants and minerals, providing a plethora of healthy gains. Beautiful in colour and mellow in flavour, our Rooibos range is red hot and rousing."
