Herb

Rooibos

A smooth, naturally caffeine-free red tea from South Africa that's gentle enough to enjoy any time of day.

🌱 What it is

Rooibos, or 'red bush,' is a shrub native to South Africa whose needle-like leaves are dried and fermented into a reddish, slightly sweet tea.

✨ How it may help

  • May help support relaxation without caffeine
  • May help supply antioxidants that support overall wellness
  • May help support gentle, everyday hydration
  • May help support a calm evening routine

🥄 How to use it

Steep 1 teaspoon of rooibos in hot water for 5-7 minutes for a smooth, slightly sweet, caffeine-free tea; enjoy it plain, with a splash of milk, or iced.

⚖️ Caution

Very gentle and well tolerated, with no caffeine; extremely high intake has rarely been linked to liver effects, so ordinary tea amounts are best, and those on medication can check with a doctor.

🍃 A note from nature

Rooibos grows only in one small corner of South Africa's mountains, a reminder that the Creator scattered good gifts into every part of the earth.
