Rooibos tea comes from the South African Red Bush. This tea has a unique, very enjoyable herbal flavor - very much unlike anything else you have tried. Rooibos tea contains no caffeine and no added colors or preservatives, making it a natural beverage. Rooibos has been shown to aid in health problems such as insomnia, irritability, headaches, nervous tension, and hypertension. Studies also show that this tea contains anti-spasmodic agents, which can relieve stomach cramping and colic in infants. In South Africa, Rooibos is used to treat allergies, hay fever, asthma, and eczema and irritated skin very effectively by being brewed, cooled, and placed directly on infected areas. Rooibos contains anti-oxidants which can help slow the aging process and boost the immune system. It also contains the minerals, copper, iron and potassium, calcium, fluoride, zinc, manganese, alpha-hydroxy (for healthy skin) and magnesium (for the nervous system). This gourmet herbal tea is in loose leaf form and will ship with a free tea ball infuser. Limit one free infuser per order.
