Did you know?
Rooibos, or "Aspalathus linearis" to give it its scientific name, is a plant in the Fabaceae family. It's a shrub with needle-shaped leaves, a symbol of recognition for the Khoisan people, descendants of today's South Africans.
Tea and food pairings
For a successful pairing, rooibos should be overdosed or over-infused, so that its natural woody and vanilla flavours are enhanced by the food. As a result, it's a perfect match for "classic" breakfasts and snacks: toast, pastries, cakes or madeleines, but also most desserts, making it a perfect candidate for a "café gourmand" caffeine-free version.
