Rooibos tea health benefits

Red rooibos is the classic and better known variety of rooibos. Prepared after the modified traditional method the red bush is first cut and bruised then left to ferment and finally dried in the African sun.

The oxidation step is what gives the tea its famous mahogany-red color and rich taste. Because of the strong and rich fragrant taste the tea is often mixed with other herbs. The most known are vanilla-rooibos, almond-rooibos or some more exotic lemon-apple-rooibos varieties.
