This is because rooibos is made from a different plant than standard teas: black and green teas are made from the camellia sinensis bush, which contains caffeine, while rooibos is made from the leaves of the aspalathus linearis shrub, which is naturally caffeine free. As a result, rooibos does not need to go through any chemical decaffeination processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile caffeine is a natural stimulant which consumed in moderation can have some benefits, when consumed in excess it can also lead to a number of adverse effects, including palpitations, high blood pressure and tremors. Children and pregnant women are commonly advised to avoid drinking caffeinated drinks, making rooibos a delicious and natural alternative for the whole the family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRooibos is also known for being rich in flavonoid antioxidants, most notably aspalathin, which is not often found in other plants. Current research shows how many features of our everyday lives -- such as stress, diet, pollution and too much sun -- can be harmful, giving rise to so-called “free radicals”. It is thought that the regular consumption of antioxidant-rich substances can help prevent against the destructive effects of free radicals, which have been linked to diseases such as heart disease, stroke and cancer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike other types of tea, such as black and green teas, rooibos is also low in tannin. Tannins (bitter-tasting chemical structures produced by plants) can interfere with iron absorption. Iron is an important part of a healthy diet as it is key to making red blood cells which carry oxygen around the body, therefore rooibos, being low in tannins, can help to support this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFurther studies into the health properties of rooibos tea\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor generations rooibos has been celebrated for its well-being properties and has been used to treat various health problems. According to the UK's Tea Advisory Panel, rooibos has traditionally been used to relieve infant colic as well as asthma, allergies and dermatological problems. The Panel also points out that a 2011 study confirmed that a high intake of rooibos tea results in significant reductions in cardiovascular risk factors, and that emerging data suggests rooibos may help nervous tension and digestive problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eHealth benefits of rooibos tea\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore recently in the news, research was highlighted suggesting that rooibos could help to aid weight loss.

Between 20-30% of this will actually come from foods like fruit and vegetables so it works out at around 1.6 litres or 8 x 200ml glasses for women and 2 litres or 10 x 200mls glasses for men.
