Rooibus – African Red Bush:

This fine Rooibos tea comes from the ‘red bush’, unique to South Africa. It is grown organically on small farms in the remote Cedarberg Mountains. Rooibos has many discovered health benefits. It has been used to treat digestive problems, sleeplessness and allergies. Its soothing effect on the nervous system relieves stress, nervous tension and mild depression. Rooibos contains many vitamins and elements such as Vitamin C and iron and in addition is an ideal component for a low calorie diet.

  • Rooibos contains no artificial colours, additives, or preservatives, making it a truly natural beverage.
  • Rooibos contains NO caffeine.
  • Rooibos has been shown to aid in health problems such as: insomnia, irritability, headaches, nervous tension, and hypertension.

TIP:
Since caffeine is water-soluble, you can decaffeinate your own tea by about 80% quite easily.  Simply steep the tea leaves in boiling water for 20-30 seconds, discard this water, and pour fresh boiling water over the rinsed leaves.  To increase the amount of caffeine you are removing, steep a second time.  Lastly, steep and enjoy!
