Mighty Rooibos!
Mighty Leaf makes some fantastic teas -- and it provides them in fancy little pouches that are way different from the paper teabags in most teas. These pouches feel like silk and are stitched with unbleached cotton string (not a staple or glue). You may wonder -- "how is that green?"
These little pouches won an award for "best new green packaging" in 2006. The tea bags are made of polylactic corn that is GMO-free and which show off the tea leaves even more than the original silken mesh pouches did. Once the tea pouch has been wet, it will begin its course of biodegrading, which takes about a year.
Their passion for high quality tea comes through in the products -- I like the Rooibos tea and will happily drink it when I'm not at home with my own collection of loose leaf teas and infuser equipped teapots.

Mighty Leaf Rooibos Tea!
This is my new favorite herbal infusion, a non-caffeinated mixture of rooibos leaves, with hints of vanilla. It comes in these handcrafted biodegradable pouches that give off the smell of fruits and herbs unlike most any boxed, pouched tea I've ever bought! And Mighty Leaf is from San Raphael, I think, which makes me feel good, because I'm supporting a relatively local company.
Even though there's no caffeine, the rooibos can certainly be called a stimulant, in my book, because I feel more active when I drink this tea but not in a frenzied way, more in a calm, clear and slightly expanded way, soothing yet stimulating.
And the tea tastes wonderful, especially with a little soy milk.
As you may know, rooibos is commonly known as South African red tea, and only grows in one of the western provinces of South Africa. It's got a sweet, nutty overtone. You can actually get a much more refined, expensive green rooibos, which is unoxidized.
It's loaded with antioxidants and has especially low tannin content, even though it's made in the same way as black tea.

Mighty Leaf Rooibos is indeed a great tea! I was introduced to it last year when I was talking with a South African college friend of my daughter's. I asked him what he missed most about SA and he said "Rooibos and... more »
