What is te roibos?

Rooibos (pronounced roy-boss) is a caffeine-free herbal tea that comes from the needle-like leaves of the Aspalathus linearis plant, which is native to South Africa. The tea is often referred to as "red bush tea" in English because of its reddish-brown color.

Rooibos is a highly popular tea due to its unique taste and the potential health benefits it offers. It has a slightly sweet and nutty flavor, with hints of vanilla and caramel, which makes it a great choice for people who want to cut back on sugar consumption.

Some of the potential health benefits of rooibos tea include its high antioxidant content, which can help to protect the body against oxidative stress and inflammation. Rooibos tea has also been shown to help lower blood pressure, improve heart health, and support the immune system.

Rooibos tea is often consumed on its own, but it can also be used as a base for other tea blends and is often included in herbal tea blends. It can be purchased loose or in tea bags, and it is easy to find in specialty tea shops and online retailers.
