Oshun

This goddess is one of the most popular and venerated Orishas. Oshun is a water deity of the Yoruba tradition who is venerated as a goddess of love, femininity, and beauty. She is the youngest of the Orishi and regarded as a highly benevolent deity. Some interpret her as the creator of humanity as it was her sweet and fertile waters that brought life to mankind when she was sent to earth by Olodumare. This rooibos blend was chosen for Oshun because it's comprised of an abundance of fruits, sensuous flower petals, and it slightly sweet on its own.
