"Healthy" Facts About Rooibos as TEA

Red tea, scientifically known as Aspalathus linearis, is a shrub from the Leguminosae family.

With needle-like leaves, this leguminous plant thrives on the mountain slopes of the Western Cape Province.

While it has been a staple for centuries in this region, its popularity is extending to Europe and Asia, captivating tea enthusiasts worldwide.

Natural Rooibos tea is typically brewed much like black tea, often enjoyed plain or with a splash of milk, and optionally sweetened with sugar or honey.

For a twist, some prefer adding a slice of lemon or using honey for sweetness instead of sugar.

Beyond traditional brewing, Rooibos can also be savoured as espresso, lattes, cappuccinos, or refreshing iced tea

When freshly harvested, natural rooibos tea boasts a significant amount of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), which diminishes during tea-making.

Unlike black or green tea, rooibos is caffeine-free and has minimal tannin levels.

Rich in polyphenols such as flavanols, flavones, and flavanones, it also contains unique compounds like aspalathin and nothofagin.

Additionally, the processed leaves and stems harbour benzoic and cinnamic acids.

The tea is amazing - definitely worth it to order from Kookfontein - we went to their shop today - just to note that the road to there is a dirt road and is very difficult to get there - and they do their business out of their home. It is just easier to order from them online and pay the courier fees than to visit the shop itself.

An interesting experience to see a working ROOIBOS TEA farm.
Nice to see the tea being harvested, and then chopped, sieved and processed to the final product. Now ready to be pasteurised and packed.
Then finally relax and enjoy a pleasant, healthy cup of KOOKFONTEIN ROOIBOS TEA
