what is red rooibos

it even tastes good sideways!
Red Rooibos tea explained
What is it? Why drink it? What benefits? 

The needle like leaves of this fair trade organic certified rooibos are only grown in the high mountains of South Africa’s Cape region.  Used in Africa for centuries, it is becoming popular in western countries for it’s amazing health benefits and flavor.
Showing some of the highest antioxidant levels found in herbs with 3 times as much as green tea, this bush tea has no caffeine or the tannins found in black teas that create the bitter after taste.  It is also rich in minerals.
With sweet, slightly nutty and woodsy tones this tea has a depth of flavor that allows it to be steeped again and again if desired.
It acts as an antispasmodic agent to relief stomach cramps and colic in babies. It is also used to help nervous tension, allergies, digestive problems, asthma and skin clearing.
Also has components known to fight cancer.
It combines well with many flavors and has been blended with flowers, chai spices, fruits and citrus, vanilla, chocolate and more.
At T's Tonics it is the base for our Walk in the Jungle Tea, combined with cinnamon chips, cloves, herbs and spices.  And it is blended in our latest beautiful Bark and Blooms valentine tea with hibiscus, rose petals, rosehips and jasmine buds. That can be found at Tres Jolie de Bend, Newport Market in Bend and CE Lovejoys in Bend.
