Rooibos tea is a caffeine-free beverage that can be consumed at any time of day. Here is a guide to the main benefits of rooibos tea, as well as how to properly brew it!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Before we get into the finer details of rooibos tea and its benefits, here are some fun facts about this herbal tea:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Rooibos tea, often known as red bush tea, is a South African herbal tea created by infusing rooibos in water<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s a caffeine-free beverage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In Afrikaans, a southern African language, Rooibos means “red bush.”<\/em> South Africa is the only place where the red bush shrub Aspalathus linearis<\/em> is grown. It is indigenous to South Africa’s Cederberg Mountains, some 200 miles north of Cape Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rooibos leaves are harvested once a year in Africa during the summer. The plants are cut with big sickles and bundled into bundles known as “gerwe” in Afrikaans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The plants are transferred to a processing facility, where the stalks are chopped into even lengths and withered. Depending on the variety of rooibos being produced, the leaves are then fermented or dried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Technically, something is only considered a tea if it is derived from the Camellia sinensis<\/em> plant. While rooibos does not, it is prepared similarly to tea and is frequently referred to as such.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is Rooibos Tea?<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
