Rooibos Tea

Rooibos originates from South Africa in the region known as Cape Town. This herbal tea is harvested in summer and is mainly hand picked. After being bruised and cut the Rooibos tea is still green. The tea is fermented which not only enhances the flavor but turns the tea red, hence the nickname “red bush”.

Rooibos tea provides many health benefits. This herbal tea is an all natural drink because it contains no preservatives, colors, or additives. Rooibos herbal tea also contains no caffeine.

Research indicates that Rooibos herbal tea may help with conditions such as headaches, insomnia, hypertension, irritability, and nervous tension. In its native country Rooibos herbal tea is used to treat asthma, hay fever, and even eczema. The antioxidants in Rooibos herbal tea help to boost the immune system and may even help slow down the aging process.

The tea does not contain oxalic acid which makes it an excellent drink choice for anyone who is prone to developing kidney stones. Rooibos herbal tea also contains many important minerals such as iron, potassium, copper, zinc, manganese, magnesium, and alpha-hydroxy. These minerals are vital to skin health and also the nervous system.
