Rooibos Tea is prepared from a single herb, Aspalathus Linearis. The leaves from this plant are allowed to ferment and dry in the sun, resulting in a red tea with a remarkable flavour. Rooibos Tea is produced in the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa. The tea is naturally caffeine free and low in tannin. All Rooibos offered by our company has been certified organic. For this range of teas we use flavourants that are all natural, and certified organic to compliment the taste of Rooibos. Flavourants are also gluten free, and contain no sugar. Subject to availability, we offer the following flavours: Vanilla, Caramel, Blackcurrant, Earl Grey, Cranberry, Orange and Lemon.

Benefits:

  • Loaded with Antioxidants:WHAT ARE ANTIOXIDANTS AND WHAT DO THEY DO? In the life cycle of normal tissue cells, oxygen molecules are present and usefull. These oxygen molecules travel in pairs. Sometimes one of the pair will be used and the other remains left. That lone oxygen molecule is called a "free radical". Free radicals easily attach onto cells causing an effect, much like that of rust, called oxidative damage, which can bring about intense cell damage and interferes with the cell’s ability to function properly. Over time this may lead to cancer or cardiovascular disease, arthritis, Alzheimer’s Disease and other health problems that is linked to aging. Antioxidants are compounds that neutralize free radicals because they supply a positive charge to the unpaired oxygen so it cannot damage cells. This renders the free radical useless and the threat is gone. Antioxidants can also prevent oxidation by "guarding" or creating barriers around cell tissue and bonding with free radicals as they attack.

  • ROOIBOS IS UNIQUE TO SOUTH AFRICA It is produced only in the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa. Rooibos (pronounced “roy-boss”) is an Afrikaans word meaning “red bush”, referring to the garnet colour of the herb leaves after fermentation.
  • ROOIBOS IS A HERBAL TEA THAT TASTES LIKE A REGULAR TEA It is prepared from the leaves of the herb Aspalathus Linearis, whereas regular black and green tea is made with the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant.

  • ROOIBOS IS AN EVERYDAY ANYTIME BEVERAGE It can be enjoyed throughout the day - primarily because it is an excellent thirst quencher. Rooibos can be served clear or with cream and sugar/honey, according to your usual preference. Served as iced tea, it is absolutely delicious!
  • Suggested Use:

    PREPARING A CUP OF TEA We recommend that Rooibos tea be steeped or brewed for a minimum of 5 minutes to release the flavor and the valuable antioxidants and minerals. Experts suggest that brewing Rooibos for 10 minutes or longer will increase the antioxidant content of the tea by 30%. After this, the tea can be used immediately or stored. It can be reheated or cooled without any effect, as the tea is very low in tannins and will thus not turn bitter as normal coffee and tea would. One Rooibos tea bag contains 2.5 grams of leaves and is enough for two cups of tea. Two Rooibos tea bags will make 1 liter of Rooibos tea that can be served hot. Three bags will make 1 liter of strong Rooibos that can be served cold or mixed with other drinks or foods. PREPARING ICED ROOIBOS 3 Rooibos teabags 100 to 200 gram sugar or honey depending on taste 25ml lemon juice Iced cubes Prepare 1 liter of strong Rooibos by steeping 3 bags in 1 liter of boiling water for more than 10 minutes. Sugar or honey can be added to the warm Rooibos if a sweetened iced tea is required. Remove the teabags and allow it to cool down. Add lemon juice. Chill and serve with ice cubes, garnished with fruit slices and mint. Will serve 8 glasses of 150 ml. OTHER APPLICATIONS Rooibos tea can be prepared and served as any other tea, but it can also be used in many other applications. It can be served with or with-out sugar, milk or cream, hot or iced, as a blended tea, or as the basis for a fruit punch or even a soup. Rooibos is also a meat tenderizer and can be used in marinades and sauces as a replacement for water or other liquids.
