The rooibos or redbush, also known as the African Red tea is an infusion made from the leaves of the plant, belonging to the legume family. The term means "red Bush" rooibos and derives from afrikans, one of the official languages of South Africa. This plant species grows only in the Cederberg. The first to prepare the drink and enjoy its benefits were the natives.

After harvest, the leaves are crushed, fermented and left to dry in the Sun. The characteristic that sets it apart from other teas is that it contains no caffeine, exciting substance, and can therefore be used more frequently without any contraindications for the most sensitive.

Countless are the properties of this tea is of course sweet to the low concentration of tannins, so it can be enjoyed without sugar. May be left to soak for a longer time, than the black tea, without becoming more bitter, and encourage in this way, the extraction of antioxidant compounds that is very rich; a recent study in Japan showed the presence of a flavonoid not found in any other food.

Contraindications of rooibos are few and can be consumed even by those most vulnerable such as children and pregnant women. It seems though that stirring this infused with grapefruit juice you get an energy drink and an increase in blood pressure.
