Rooibos – Organic Herbal Tea

* Great value with min 100 cups from every 50gm packet. A native plant of South Africa, Rooibos is a mountain loving shrub. When the leaves are sun-dried, they turn a reddish brown colour, which gives the tea its name. It has a high antioxidant content, is high in vitamin C and mineral salts. In South Africa, the herb is used a lot in creams for skin conditions like eczema. Or, they make the tea and add it to a bath. Rooibos gives our Red Chai tea a really nice flavor and it is caffeine free. (An antioxidant is a molecule that inhibits the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation is a chemical reaction that can produce free radicals, (free-radicals are rubbish that antioxidants will clean up - like a vacuum cleaner - and stop them from causing damage to our cells.) Free radicals are molecules produced when your body breaks down food or is exposed to tobacco smoke and radiation. The vitamins and minerals the body uses to counteract oxidative stress are called antioxidants.) High in anti-oxidants, Rooibos is anti-inflammatory, low in tannins and caffeine-free. It’s a tea enjoyed by people replacing caffeine and ideal for pregnant women. Rooibos tea has been used to bathe the skin when suffering from skin conditions like eczema. There are absolutely no preservatives, colourings or flavourings in these herbal teas and from each packet you will get a minimum of 100 cups of tea. Ingredients: Organic Rooibos
