Rooibos Tea

[johnbutt]

Does anyone know if rooibos tea can be bought in Bangkok, preferably in tea bag form? Thanks

[fredlk]

I bought it at Tops. Healtheries Rooibos / Red Bush Tea. According to the barcode it's a product of New Zealand.

Rooibos tea is South African, and comes from a bush which grows in the Karoo, it may be packed in NZ...

Also availible from www.vjoteahouse.com in Thailand

Re the answers above:

--There are all kinds and varieties of different Tops markets in BKK and Thailand, and what they do and don't stock varies considerably by location. I've never noticed rooibus tea at my local Tops stores around BKK... Where exactly did the poster above find it at Tops?

--I have seen boxes of rooibus tea at the Villa Market at Suk Soi 2 in the basement of the Ploenchit Center ... I'm not sure if the same product is stocked at Villa's other locations. See the accompanying photo:

... Where exactly did the poster above find it at Tops?

Tops, Silom Complex, Silom Road last year.

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

Silom Complex and all of its stores closed in Feb. for remodeling, and remain closed at present AFAIK...

Due to reopen sometime later this year.

Central Department Store Co will spend 250 million baht to give its Silom Complex branch a facelift in 2012.

President Yuwadee Chirathivat said the budget will be used to renovate the Central Department Store and Tops Supermarket at the Silom Complex branch, which has been closed since Saturday.
