What exactly is red tea?

And how is it different than black tea?

Black tea is a stimulating beverage.

Red Tea is a place Stymie visited in the Middle East.

Sorry. I REALLY couldn’t resist.

Rooibos, or ‘red tea’.

The flavor of rooibos tea is often described as being sweet (without sugar added) and slightly nutty. Preparation of rooibos tea is essentially the same as black tea save that the flavour is improved by longer brewing. The resulting brew is a reddish brown color, explaining why rooibos is sometimes referred to as “red tea”.

It’s a different plant. It’s an “herbal” tea, not an actual tea leaf. Also, it has no caffeine.
