Benefits of Rooibos Tea! + one of my faves Numi Tea

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to be sharing a little about Rooibos tea, which is one of my favorites! Enjoy :)

Rooibos tea is known by a few other names including red bush tea, bush tea, or simply red tea (I also believe there is a green bush tea, but I haven't tried it and I won't be talking about it in this post). It is a South African tea identified by the wonderful earthy and warm taste that I love! This brings us to the first benefit, which isn't really a "health" benefit.

 Taste

It is prepared similar to black tea and is usually paired with sugar, milk, and honey. It also has a "dessert" tea taste. I keep the calories low and the sugar down by using stevia!

While this isn't exactly a health benefit, I believe I should mention it is delicious! Rooibos tea is a earthy tasting tea. Some companies' tea is more vanilla-y than others. Why this is, I have no idea, but I am liking the vanilla taste to it.

Antioxidants

Rooibos tea is loaded with antioxidants. Antioxidants are widely known for their part in health and immune system boosting. 

Caffeine Free 

Rooibos tea is naturally caffeine free. This is great for a lot of people who avoid caffeine for health! I drink a lot of coffee, so  I can't say I avoid caffeine. I can say this is perfect for before bed or when I want to relax!

Before purchasing, check that the rooibos tea is caffeine free for sure though. Some companies will blend teas and won't make it obvious.

Calming Effects

Most people feel much calmer after drinking rooibos tea. I can speak from experience that this tea will put your mind at peace. I always have a cup of this handy while tackling a project.

 One of my Faves! 

One of my favorite rooibos teas I've tried is from Numi Tea. It has a great taste and is in convenient tea bags. There are also a lot of other great teas from Numi that I have.

Some of the great things about Numi is that they are fair trade certified, offer organic tea, and use eco-friendly packaging.

You can check out their rooibos here. 

Alright, that's it! The point of this post: drink some rooibos tea as soon as possible! Deliciousness and health benefits await!
