Naturally caffeine-free and rich in a variety of minerals, Rooibos tea is the perfect beverage for healthy active people of all ages. Unlike coffee and regular tea, it is also low in tannin, a substance which may affect the body's metabolism by interfering with iron and protein absorption. The mineral content of Rooibos is an added benefit - iron, potassium, zinc, manganese and sodium may help to maintain healthy skin, teeth and bones. Rooibos is grown only in a small area 250km north of Cape Town in the Cederberg area and no alternative source of supply for this unique product is available anywhere in the world.

  • Rooibos is completely pure and natural as it contains no additives, preservatives or colorants.
  • Rooibos tea is naturally caffeine free.
  • Rooibos contains significant antioxidants that can help fight free radicals (a by-product of normal cell function).
  • Rooibos tea is low in harmful tannin and therefore does not have a negative effect on the absorption of iron in the body.
  • Rooibos contains iron, potassium, magnesium, and copper - minerals which are essential for several metabolic functions.
  • Rooibos also supplements the daily amounts of calcium, manganese and fluoride, needed for the development of strong teeth and bones.
  • As Rooibos contains no oxalic acid it can be consumed freely by people suffering with kidney stones.
  • Rooibos tea is a pick-me-up in the morning, an excellent thirst-quencher during the day and at night.
