Juneteenth on its way to national recognition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/AdobeStock_437885846-1024x724.jpeg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nPeople across the country on Saturday will hold public readings of the Emancipation Proclamation, sing traditional African-American songs from the era, and read works by the United States\u2019 wealth of outstanding African-American writers. Family reunions, street fairs, rodeos, historical reenactments, Miss Juneteenth contests and mark will enliven towns and cities from Birmingham to Bozeman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And yesterday the United States Congress passed legislation sponsored by Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey making Juneteenth a federal holiday. It\u2019s now up to President Joe Biden\u2019s pen to make it a reality. The federal recognition of the holiday is long overdue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We plan on celebrating Juneteenth, which we champion as a powerful and important American holiday. One of the things we will do across the day is sip rooibos, the tea made from the African rooibos shrub. Rooibos does not have an explicit connection to Juneteenth. But it is one of the few styles of tea from Africa that we carry, and we just adore it. Among other things, Rooibos is a superb choice when it is so blazing hot outside. The tea offers a bounty of electrolytes, which help increase and maintain hydration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Happy Juneteenth! We suggest sipping iced rooibos while reading the Emancipation Proclamation or Ralph Ellison\u2019s masterpiece Invisible Man. Or while nibbling Rooibos and Walnut Carrot Cake, from our recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nLet\u2019s begin with the basics \u2014 straight organic rooibos tea. There\u2019s a reason that the leaves and stems from this shrub have become a popular tea. They taste great. Thousands of different kinds of shrubs grow across the world, but only a handful make excellent teas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rooibos, which means \u201cRed Bush\u201d in the Afrikaans language, offers sweet, nutty and slightly woody flavor profiles. It\u2019s bold, without being bitter \u2014 a superb caffeine-free alternative to black tea. In addition to flavor, rooibos is thought to be beneficial as a treatment for many conditions, including headaches, cramps and allergies. Its health advantages probably stem, at least in part, from its many antioxidants. This Rooibos Organic<\/span><\/strong><\/a> is an outstanding representative of high-quality straight rooibos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Be Happy<\/span><\/a> <\/strong>rooibos uses peach as a base, but then brightens the peach with lemon peel. And then it incorporates St. John\u2019s Wort, an herb that grows wild across Eurasia but found welcoming footholds across North and South America. Natural physicians around the world prescribe St. John\u2019s Wort to treat depression. In fact, in German the herb is only available through physician\u2019s prescriptions! The herb\u2019s woodsy flavors add intrigue to this wonderful, joy-ripening tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDrink tea. Be happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
