What it is

Organic rooibos tea, also known as red bush tea, is a caffeine-free herbal tea made from the leaves of the Aspalathus linearis shrub, which is native to South Africa. The leaves are oxidized, giving the tea its characteristic reddish-brown color and slightly sweet, earthy flavor.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use organic rooibos tea as a flavoring agent and for its natural color in beverages like iced tea and kombucha, as well as in snack bars. Its mild, pleasant taste makes it a versatile ingredient that can complement various fruit and spice flavors.

Health notes

Organic rooibos tea is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. It is a source of antioxidants, though the specific health benefits at typical consumption levels are still under research. International bodies like EFSA have not set specific limits for its use in food. Evidence regarding its health effects is generally positive, with no major controversies.

Allergen info

Rooibos tea is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It is also gluten-free.
