Rooibos, also known as red tea, red bush, or African bush, is a caffeine-free delight. This full-bodied, aromatic red brew has a smooth, sweet taste (due to its low tannin content). Rooibos grows wild in the Cederberg mountain region near Cape Town, South Africa. A significant amount of recent research has discovered the noteworthy healing properties of rooibos. Not surprisingly, the indigenous people of South Africa have long revered its powerful health benefits. Among its numerous benefits, rooibos is rich in antioxidants and minerals, soothes the stomach and aids in digestion, reduces insomnia, and promotes healthy skin.
