Move Over Green And Make Way For Roobios
Despite what most would argue…I’m a cheep date. Give me half a cup of coffee and my hands will shake for the rest of the day. One Mountain Dew in the afternoon leave me awake and restless until 3am. That’s why I love Roobios tea for its taste, health benefits and the fact that its caffeine free.
Roobios tea (pronounced roy-boss) is from the Roobios bush in the Cedarberg region of South Africa. Low in tannins, this tea is naturally sweet and tastes great without having to add any sugar or artificial sweetener. Roobios contains many flavonoids (plant nutrients), free-radical fighting antioxidants (protect cells) and is considered to be up to 50 times more effective in antioxidants than those found in Green tea (although both are excellent sources of antioxidants). Sans oxalic acid, Roobios can be enjoyed by those prone to kidney stones and is also frequently used to sooth the body’s reaction to allergy, rashes, acne and stomach pains.
Roobios Tea is also known by the following names: Red Tea, Redbush Tea, Bush Tea, Mountain Tea, Long Life Tea or Herbal Allergy Tea and can be found in any major grocery store, health market and some corner Bodegas.
