As luscious as it sounds. Texas pecan pieces, natural raspberry extract, and Fair Trade red rooibos. Aromatic, seductive, and rich and flavorful. A healthy treat that is so addicting!

What started as a curiosity (can I make a nut flavored tea?) became an all-smiles reality after we thought to add raspberry to the pecan rooibos we were testing.

Another in-house blend that we are very excited about here at Zhi. We hope you love it as much as we do.

Red tea (Rooibos/Red Bush) has been researched a great deal over the last few years. Results indicate that Rooibos has the highest levels of antioxidants of all infused beverages. Higher in fact than Green Tea. 

As such, it displays the highest anti-aging properties. Along with the fact that it is 100% caffeine-free, well you can enjoy this delicious cup anytime of day.

Rooibos plant grows only near the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. It was first noted by botanist Carl Humberg in 1772. 

A century later, Benjamin Ginsberg, a Russian immigrant, realized its marketing potential, and in 1904 began offering it as an herbal substitute to tea. 

The difficulty of shipping tea during the Second World War had boosted demand for Rooibos, which began to be referred to as Red Bush Tea, or simply Red Tea. 

In Japan, Rooibos is believed to aid longevity, and is known as Long Life Tea.
