Rooibos is not a real tea but an infusion of the Rooibos plant. Real tea contains caffeine and tannin, but this one has not any. This plant grows in the vicinity of the Cedermountain in South Africa and is also known as Aspalathus Linearis. It is planted for the production of a drink that looks like tea. This "herbal tea" is very popular nowadays.

Rooibos has a positive effect on various health problems. It is a low plant with small twigs which looks like needles. These needle leaves are picked by hand, stamped and placed in the sun to oxidize. This creates the red color. The high quality of this Rooibos is characterized by the proportion of needles compared to the twigs. The more needles, the better quality.

The Darjeeling Snowview is a black tea from India. The tea is grown on a plantation in Darjeeling in Northwest India in the Himalayas. This village is surrounded by 20,000 hectares of tea plantations. The plantation is located at an altitude of 2200 meters. The tea plant is descended from the Camellia Sinensis which is better resistant for the climate in the high mountains. Darjeeling tea is considered the best, most prestigious, rarest black tea in the world. The leaves are picked by hand. About 2000 leaves are needed for one hundred grams of tea.

A black tea is a fully fermented tea. The Darjeeling can be harvested twice, a first picking "First Flush" and a second picking "Second Flush". This tea is from the second harvest. After the harvest, the leaves are laid to dry and rolled by hand. This is how the oxidation process begins. After a few hours of fermentation, the leaves will get baked in a hot air oven.
