Despite its dark orange colour and caramel aroma, this healthy tea is low in tannins and is naturally caffeine free, so it can also be enjoyed by the entire family, and drunk late in the evening as a soothing bedtime brew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith its rich flavour, velvety mouthfeel and creamy finish, our Organic Rooibos tea is delicious on its own, although some people do like to add a splash of milk, a slice of lemon or a little honey to taste. Characterised by deep reddish-brown, needle-like leaves, this rooibos as“ 'red bush' in Afrikaans“ is produced to the highest organic standards in the Western Cape, with the leaves lightly oxidised to enhance the tea's natural earthy, nutty qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is rooibos tea?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically not a tea but a herbal tisane, rooibos is unique to South Africa, harvested from the leaves of the endemic Aspalathus linearis bush which is wholly unrelated to the Camellia sinensis plants used for traditional teas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile there's some evidence of the indigenous Khoi and San peoples of South Africa utilising rooibos bushes for thousands of years, it was first recorded as being fermented, brewed and drunk as a tea by 18th-century European settlers. Swedish botanist Carl Thunberg identified it in 1772, and in 1904 Russian immigrant Benjamin Ginsberg started trading what was then referred to as 'mountain tea' after its natural home in the rugged Cederberg region of the country's south-west.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the 1930s, commercial production had begun, and in the 1960s the tea's health-boosting properties began to be widely recognised, largely due to their promotion by Annique Theron, who used rooibos to help treat her sick child. Today, rooibos is known around the world, and no self-respecting South African would be without a caddy in their kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite being exported on a global scale, the method used to produce rooibos has changed little since the early days. The branches bearing the needle-like leaves are cut by hand, then bruised, sprayed with water and left in piles to ferment. As the leaves oxidise, turning them from green to the famous red colour, they are spread out under the hot sun to dry before being collected up for grading and processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe health benefits of rooibos\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRooibos is a rich source of vitamins, minerals and several antioxidants, including \u003ca rel='\\\"noopener' href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/diet\/health-benefits-rooibos\\\"\u003easpalathin \u003c\/a\u003ewhich research shows may help balance blood sugar and therefore reduce the impact of diseases such as diabetes.
