My man, me too! I love using UA-cam to learn how to pronounce words. Not only is it a good way to ensure its the authentic way of pronouncing, but you do often stumble upon the coolest corners of the internet! :D
Tried it for the first time today. My first thought was it smelled of a cow pasture. Not bad - just a fresh earthy outdoors scent. Instantly took me back to my childhood growing up out in the country.
The coffee that I am drinking was said to have hints of Rooibus in its flavor profile. I am now an expert on what Rooibus tastes like without ever having it. Also, you are an excellent speaker.
If you say Rooibos isn't tea in South Africa, you'll very quickly lose all your friends. In the country 'tea' is Rooibos, and anything else needs to be qualified (black tea, green tea, Ceylon tea, etc.)
Technically tea is the leaves of the tea plant. If oxidized it's called black tea, if not it's called green tea, if partially it's called oolong tea. Sometimes tea leaves are fermented with bacteria and then they're called pu'er. Very rarely, green tea made with young buds is called white tea. If your tea goes by none of these names, it's probably not tea. Chamomile "tea" is chamomile flowers, not tea; hibiscus "tea" is hibiscus flowers, not tea; mint "tea" is mint leaves, not tea etc.
@@jamesconnolly5164The common usage of tea is no longer limited to only the beverage made from traditional tea plant leaves. Instead it refers to all beverages produced by steeping raw or dried plant material in near-boiling water. And the distinction between those beverages made from tea plant material and those from other herbs is purely pedantic.
South African here: Rooibos is pronounced like an American or Brit would say "Roy Boss". The RooibosLtd channel is the South African people who produce it and they pronounce it correctly in their videos.
In South Africa tea is Rooibos, and anything else needs qualifying (like Ceylon tea, black tea, etc.), so to call Rooibos not tea there is heresy and will see you very quickly and not-so-politely invited to leave and not return.
Tea comes from a specific plant, so herbal "teas" like Rooibos are not technically tea but everyone calls them tea because they are produced and consumed the same as real tea but with different plants
@@jackalhamsterI know, but don't say that to a South African, unless you want serious trouble. And really, the common usage of tea means the word isn't limited to a single plant's beverage. Insisting on that distinction is purely pedantic at this point.
Rooibos...."Like a good friend....a little nutty and won't get bitter when neglected" 😂😍💕 love it!
Rooibos is my favorite! I drink it every morning.
Fantastic some of the things you find on UA-cam. I was looking at how to pronounce Rooisbos tea but learned a lot more in just a couple minutes.

Ha, I like your style, Chief Leaf!
It is also EXTREMELY low oxalate...for those concerned about oxalate.
Very classy and informative, and a great joke to wrap up the video with
I was drawn to Rooibos Tea because of the low tanning. I was amazed how great it tastes and the other health benefits.
nicely said... thanks

Rooibos is good for me because caffeine is no good for my body. It doesn’t taste the same as black tea, but it does the trick.
If you have a sore throat, try rooibos with a slice of lemon and some honey.
I have heard so many pronunciation of 'ROOIBOS', it is just hilarious, which on earth is the right pronunciation?
I'm Afrikaans. From South Africa. It's pronounced "Roy-Boss".
It was the Lock Downs that made me Bitter.😎

So its more of a tisane than a tea...
It really does smell like pipe tobacco.
I know
