YAY for ROOIBOS! Pronounced (ROY BOSS). I am an expert as I am from South Africa! This is a great caffeine free tea that we were given as young children. Great as is, or with sugar and milk or just honey. SO many ways to enjoy it!

When we were in China, our host insisted that Oolong tea is the reason the Chinese stay thin. He also insisted that Americans drink too much coffee and cannot appreciate tea. :(
Leigh, When I get to PGH I expect an introduction to Rooibos! :)
I have never been much of an herbal tea drinker. I don't know enough about them, so I enjoyed your post about the different kinds. The Rooibos sounds interesting. I'll have to see if our grocery store carries it. Thanks for sharing!
I love tea and I didn't realize that there was more than a few types of tea out there. Thank you for sharing.
These are great to know. We usually have green tea at home. I have yet to try chamomile tea. i heard it will really help you sleep. For weight loss, I usually drink senna leaves tea.
This is neat. Thanx for sharing this.
I love this post, it's a great reference point when trying or enjoying one's tea!
Oooh!!! I love this post Czjai! Great job! Now I know where I need to go when I'm wandering around looking for tea. I drink a lot of black tea because my husband's English, but would like to know what and how these different ones could help me.
I love, love, love green tea!
