With Mother’s Day fast approaching, first I’d like to wish my Mom a happy Mother’s Day.  In addition, I’d like to wish my wife a happy Mother’s Day.  I’ve been blessed to have a great mom and a wife that is an incredible mother.  Today, I’m drinking a Rooibos “red tea” that is part of The REPUBLIC of TEA’s Sip for the Cure product line: From The REPUBLIC of TEA: “A portion of sales from this tea will support Susan G. Komen for the Cure in their fight against breast cancer.”

The Pomegranate Vanilla flavored Rooibos was very flavorful.  The tart and tangy pomegranate aromas rise from the steam in the cup.  The flavor is very well balanced.  The vanilla mellows the tart pomegranate and helps give it more of a sweet flavor.  The Rooibos supports the flavor with its smooth, dark, and naturally sweet flavor.   Combined, the ingredients mix to make a relaxing and pleasing naturally decaffeinated beverage.  I’m a true tea lover, but I can see why many people are enjoying Rooibos.  The South African shrub seems to support a wide-range of flavors.  If you enjoy flavored teas, Rooibos might be a good alternative for you if you are looking for a naturally caffeine-free beverage.  Also, Rooibos is easy to prepare in a standard tea bag.

Happy Mother’s Day,

marTEA
