Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free and has less than half the tannin of ordinary tea. Rooibos is rich in antioxidants the substances that combat free radicals in the body. Rooibos tea is a naturally uncaffeinated tea made from the Rooibos shrub which grows only on the North Western Cape of South Africa. Rooibos plants grow exclusively in the Cederberg region of South Africa where there is very little rainfall. The soil is sandy very acidic and contains virtually no nitrogen - an essential element for plants. Yet the rooibos plant thrives here and has resisted attempts to grow it in other regions of the world. Rooibos teas are anti-spasmodic anti-inflammatory and anti-allergenic. Health problems that can be helped by drinking rooibos tea include headaches hay fever, insomnia.

Loose leaf is definitely the way to go. This tea is so smooth on the palate. No residual bitterness or dryness that is often associated with tea bags from my experience.
Excellent caffeine free tea, strong enough to take a little milk, with a nice tea flavour.
Great service and brilliant flavour from a quality looking tea
Delicious teas of highest quality, ordered several bags and will order more. Loose tea tastes so much better than in tea bags!
