Rooibos tea - What is it?

Rooibos is a naturally caffeine-free herbal tea made from the fermented leaves of the Aspalathus Linearis shrub.

It is native to the Cederberg region of South Africa, and the name 'rooibos' translates to 'red bush' in Afrikaans.

Rooibos offers a naturally sweet, nutty and full-bodied flavour.

Health Benefits ❤️‍🩹

Better Digestion and Sleep 😴

• Rooibos tea is free from caffeine, meaning you can drink it right before bed to relax without ruining your sleep quality. Its soothing, antispasmodic properties can also help calm stomach cramps and bloating.

Heart Health 🫀

• The antioxidants in rooibos may help support your cardiovascular system by managing blood pressure and improving cholesterol levels.

Blood Sugar Control 📊

• Early research suggests that aspalathin (a rare, powerful antioxident found exclusively in Rooibos tea) may assist with balancing blood glucose levels and improving insulin resistance, which is beneficial for those managing or trying to prevent type 2 diabetes.

Better Iron Absorption 🦾

• Unlike traditional black or green teas, rooibos is extremely low in tannins. Tannins can interfere with your body's ability to absorb iron, making rooibos a much better option for maintaining healthy iron levels.
