Well Rooibos has had its moments too. When my brother came to the UK from SA to stay with me, he raved on and on (and on) about the medicinal benefits of Rooibos. Not long after he arrived, there was a big scandal about cow sh*t being found in the teabags, apparently because they used to stamp on the leaves in their boots - the same ones they walked the fields in

Makes me wonder why I'm now drinking it...
