Agricola Himalaya Red Tea
What it is
This is a single-serving tea bag containing dried red tea leaves. Red tea, also known as rooibos, is a herbal infusion made from the leaves of the Aspalathus linearis shrub, which is native to South Africa. It is naturally caffeine-free and has a distinct reddish-brown color when brewed. The leaves are carefully processed to bring out their characteristic flavor and aroma.
How people cook with it

- Baking ingredient
To prepare, place one tea bag in a mug. Pour hot water over the tea bag and let it steep for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the desired strength is reached. Remove the tea bag and discard. For iced tea, brew a stronger batch, let it cool, and serve over ice. You can add milk, sugar, honey, or lemon to taste. It can also be used in recipes for baked goods or as a flavoring agent for desserts.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike black or green teas, red tea is naturally caffeine-free. It has a smoother, sweeter, and less astringent flavor profile than many other teas. Its herbal nature also sets it apart from traditional tea varieties derived from the Camellia sinensis plant.
Who it is for
Anyone seeking a soothing, caffeine-free beverage will appreciate this tea.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store the remaining tea bags in their original packaging or an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. This will help maintain the freshness and flavor of the tea.
