Roobios Teas -- I love Teaz!




ROOIBOS TEA FROM I LOVE TEAZ.COM

ORIGIN: SOUTH AFRICA

Rooibos tea contains Polyphenols. Polyphenols have anti-inflammatory and anti-mutagenic qualities. The Rooibos teas are rich in calcium, manganese and have several really awesome benefits. One being that it is really helpful for even severe stomach pains. It's been used in children with severe stomach pain as well as infants suffering from colic. Rooibos tea may also even have benefits for bronchitis, hay fever, sunburn, eczema and other skin conditons when applied topically.

Rooibos teas are well known for their immuse system-boosting properties as well as for their age-slowing capabilities. It's also good for even more conditions such as stress, hypertension, nervousness, and even those who suffer with kidney stones. Now that is impressive!



 Rooibos tea comes from the Red Bush in South Africa. 

The taste of Rooibos tea is naturally sweet, and for some, the taste is sweet enough that sugar isn't even required. I personally enjoyed drinking it alone with no added sugars at all, but loved adding 2 packets of sugar to the iced Rooibos Tea. Warm though, I like it with no sugar. It tastes to me similar to black tea, not strong black tea though. It has somewhat of an earthy like taste to it. I have to say, I'm very fond of Rooibos tea. The taste is great and I think it's going to be one of my favorite, but I have still not tried each flavor that I have from Teaz just yet.



 To me, the tea looks a little like cigarette tobacco. 

Rooibos tea is caffeine-free.  It can be mixed with the Fruit Infusion blends for added flavors.
