What it is

Organic rooibos, also known as red bush tea, is a plant native to South Africa. The leaves of the Aspalathus linearis shrub are fermented and dried, giving the tea its characteristic reddish-brown color and slightly sweet, earthy flavor.

Why it's used

Rooibos is primarily used as a caffeine-free herbal tea. It is often blended with other herbs and flavors, such as hibiscus or lemongrass, to create unique tea blends. It can also be found in ready-to-drink beverages and kombucha.

Health notes

Rooibos is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains antioxidants, such as aspalathin, which may have health benefits, but more research is needed. International bodies like EFSA have not set specific limits for its consumption. Evidence regarding its health effects is still developing.

Allergen info

Rooibos is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens and does not contain gluten.
