But for the tea lover in your life, the per son who enjoys the tranquility and serenity o f a quality cup o f tea, you must try one o f Africa' s best kept secrets - and Franziska' s newest import - Rooibos tea, originating from the red bush in South Africa. Rooibus is very popular in Germany and Japan, and word is spreading here in Canada and gourmet tea-lovers will soon learn to appreciate this aromatic, refreshing, naturally caffeine-free1 beverage.
