Rooibos Organic
Caffeine-free Rooibos tea! Great any time of day, and contains antioxidants that are thought to slow the aging process.
Rooibos was traditionally used by the Bushmen and Hottentots of South Africa and has become increasingly popular in the West as a pleasant tasting tea that also has health benefits. Other names for rooibos are “bush tea,” “red bush tea,” “South African red tea,” or simply “red tea”.
A tea made from the leaves and stems of rooibos is generally beneficial to the digestive system and relaxes spasms, it has been used to address vomiting, diarrhoea and other mild gastric complaints. Recent research has shown that this tea contains a substance similar to superoxide dismutase, an antioxidant compound that is thought to retard the ageing process.
Preparation
1 tsp / cup, steep 1 teaspoon in a cup of boiling water for 5 mins. Strain, then add milk and/or honey as desired. Drink as needed.
