If ever a tea was good for the soul, this is it. Why? Well, let’s examine the reasons. The blend is created using the all-natural flavors of rose and fresh cherries. Ok, roses…let’s see. Years ago, noted American botanist and scientist Luther Burbank was quoted as saying “Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful. They are sunshine, food and medicine to the soul.” Well, roses are perhaps the world’s best-loved flower so…it looks like we have our first soul-affirming reason. Next we have cherries. In China and Japan cherries are potent symbols of springtime and youth. As well, in English folk belief cherry trees are a symbol of luck. Lovers who meet for the first time under their branches are considered to be the luckiest lovers in the world. Hmm…spring…youth…luck…all good influences on the soul – looks like we have soul affirming-reason number two. (And, this is just the flavoring!)

Probably the most important reason that this tea is good for the soul is that fact that it is blended using a South African Rooibos. Rooibos, grown in the mountainous Cederberg district of South Africa is truly one of the most refreshing and life affirming beverages out there. Packed full of nutrients, you can literally feel the goodness filling your body. On top of all this goodness Cherry Rose Rooibos produces a deliciously light cup with sweet floral notes and mellow herbal undertones. Brew a pot today, find a friend to share it with and bask in about as much goodness as you can handle.
