Red Rooibos tea is a naturally caffeine-free herbal tea originating from South Africa. Rich in antioxidants and minerals, it contains several health benefits, including promoting heart health and helping manage diabetes and weight.
We get our Rooibos from the Cederberg Mountains, an area that is the only place Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) can grow. It is organic and sustainably grown. This ancient tea goes back thousands (if not tens of thousands) of years and was used by the San and Khoi people as a medicinal herb for many ailments as well as skincare. We carry long-cut vs shortcut (tea bag compatible) Rooibos because of the superior flavor, quality, and sustainability.

I’m usually a mint fanatic, but this tea won me over by far. Simple yet full of flavor, it makes for a great choice to wind down.
