Check too to see if it's organic flowers.

I found this one
Chamomile
I usually buy my teas in this shop.

I just realised that there are 2 types of Rooibos. Green Rooibos and Rooibos.
Any idea what is the difference? I didn't know about green one.

I've seen Red Roobios quite often

I might order two sample collections
Tisanes » African Herbs
Green Sample Collection

Curiously about a week ago I added to my bookmarks Sencha Uji (organic). Stitchawl mentioned it today

If I but the sample collection it includes Uji sample too.

I have one tea that uses Green Rooibos, it is pretty yummy. I don't know the difference between the two.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rooibos

OK so:

Rooibos is grown only in a small area in the region of the Western Cape province.[2] Generally, the leaves are oxidized, a process often, and inaccurately, referred to as fermentation by analogy with tea-processing terminology. This process produces the distinctive reddish-brown colour of rooibos and enhances the flavour. Unoxidized "green" rooibos is also produced, but the more demanding production process for green rooibos (similar to the method by which green tea is produced) makes it more expensive than traditional rooibos. It carries a malty and slightly grassy flavour somewhat different from its red counterpart.

I fished out the drunkard and finished the drink...
