"Hi, I'm Nelson Drago with Chado Tea Room located in Los Angeles on behalf of Expert Village. In this clip we will be talking about Rooibos, red tea from South Africa. Rooibos comes from red bush, just for the part of information. We have about 6 different Rooibos blends with us. Our most popular and our famous Rooibos Blend would the Rooibos Bourbon. It's the Bourbon as scent and vanilla and it's one of best selling Rooibos. Rich, red, it goes very well with the milk. In fact this is the only herb which goes very well with the milk, if you're a herb drinker and you like milk, this is a kind of tea you need to get, Rooibos Bourbon. Another Rooibos which would be Rooibos Kimberly with lemon, citrus, hibiscus. This Rooibos, yes it looks very pretty and it does taste also as it looks. Very fantastic if you pour it over ice. The third Rooibos would be our Rooibos Herbal Chai. This is a Chai without caffeine, since it has a base of Rooibos. Again, it has all the spices as one of the caffeine Chai has, it has Reena's Chai. But this is an Herbal Chai with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom. Again you can also add milk with this kind of Herbal Chai. And our fourth Rooibos would be the Rooibos Africana, which is with mallow flowers, sweet orange and lemon. Excellent with spicy foods. Rooibos is one kind of herb which can be blended with different kinds of flavors. You can mix it with vanilla, you can mix it also with bergamot. In fact we also have a Rooibos Earl Grey, which could be used as a decaf Earl Grey which is called Rooibos Sweet Dreams. It is a mixture of vanilla and bergamot together."
