Finally, after centuries of discovery, the world outside of South Africa gets to indulge in the delightful rooibos or red tea. And they are liking it … a lot.

Rooibos tea is derived from the red bush plant which can be grown only in a certain part of South Africa. It is pitched more as an herbal drink than real tea as rooibos does not share the same origin as other teas. The red tea produced from it does not even contain caffeine. In fact, rooibos or red tea is rich with antioxidants, minerals, Vitamin C and Vitamin E.

Rooibos is steadily gaining popularity worldwide. This will of course result in more studies that will further confirm the claimed health benefits which now include relief of tension, digestive problems and allergies. No wonder why it is the new tea of choice for millions of the world’s health conscious consumers.

To save you from the burden of storing and brewing tea leaves, Rooibos is now a part of our collection of Bontea Signature products at every Boncafe branch nationwide. Rooibos tea is best enjoyed without milk or sugar but you can add a slice of lemon or an amount of honey to taste.
