Red
Different people mean different things when they mention Red Teas.
Most commonly it is Rooibos, or Red Bush tea from South Africa. This herbal tea, popularised by the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency novels, is well-known and a firm favourite.
It can also be a unique style of tea, a subset of Green Tea, that due to a special method of fermentation yields a deep red-brown leaf that brews to produce a bright red liquor. Such a tea is Ceylon Hapugolla Red, a remarkable tea. And the Chinese tend to refer to what we think of as black or ordinary tea, as “red tea”.
Well, I’m glad we’ve cleared that one up… enjoy!
