Rooibos

Rooibos is my new favourite herbal alternative to tea. At first I was thrown off by its flavour, as it has more of a citrus-like taste than tea itself, but now I absolutely love it. Rooibos (roy-boss), which comes from the African Red Bush, is rich in antioxidants, has low levels of tannin, has flavonoids, along with various minerals: copper, iron and potassium, calcium, fluoride, zinc, manganese, alpha- hydroxyl and magnesium. – Just to name a few. Helping alleviate the symptoms of allergies, digestive disorders, dermatological ailments, nervous tension along with its caffeine free properties make rooibos an amazing choice for health conscious individuals, and those just look for a delicious cup of tisane!

Rooibos can be found in many different flavoured varieties – from a wonderful apple flavoured, which I just picked up from Teaopia tonight (Apple Strudel Rooibos – SO GOOD!), to many chocolate Rooibos blends.

Give it a shot and try something that’s deliciously healthy!
