If you close your eyes and try to imagine paradise, it probably looks a lot like the French Polynesian island of Bora Bora.  The island is a Never-Never land of craggy peaks, crystal blue waters, perfect white sand, luscious tropical fruit and beautiful inhabitants. 

This top grade Rooibos (Latin: Aspalathus linearis) comes  from the Cederberg region of South Africa and flavored it with the fragrant taste of one of Bora Bora’s best loved tropical fruits - mango.  Rooibos itself is regarded as one of the world’s foremost herbal teas.  The pine shaped red needles contain many essential minerals and is generally regarded to have a positive influence on the digestive system.    Like the island itself, one sip of Bora Bora mango rooibos and you’ll never want to give it up - full bodied, tempered with sweet mango character - it’s a true taste of the South Pacific!
