Celestial Seasonings introduces African Orange Mango Rooibos Tea

30/06/05 Celestial Seasonings introduces African Orange Mango Rooibos Tea, the exotic new flavor in our lineup of 100% natural rooibos teas. The sweetness of glowing oranges and red-gold mangos blended with the antioxidant power of rooibos make this tea as good for the palate as it is for the body. Invigorating hot or intensely satisfying iced, naturally caffeine free African Orange Mango Rooibos Herb Tea is an authentic taste of Africa.

Rooibos tea is brewed from the leaves of the South African rooibos (pronounced "roy-bus") shrub, and is also called "red tea" or "red bush tea," as translated from the Afrikaans language. This naturally caffeine free, antioxidant-rich plant is found and sustainably cultivated only in South Africa's Cedarburg Mountains. For centuries, the local people have enjoyed rooibos for its delicious flavor and healthful properties, and today Celestial Seasonings offers four delicious rooibos blends.

Celestial Seasonings works closely with organizations such as the Herb Research Foundation and Agribusiness in Sustainable Natural African Plant Products (A-SNAPP) to promote economic growth in rural African communities through socially conscious and environmentally sustainable production of high quality, healthful natural products.

African Orange Mango Rooibos Tea will be available in stores beginning Fall 2005, joining Madagascar Vanilla Red, Moroccan Pomegranate Red and Red Safari Spice(TM) Rooibos Teas.
