There’s an amazing herbal tea that a lot of people aren’t aware of . It has amazing health benefits !
That tea is ROOIBOS TEA. It’s also known as REDBUSH TEA. It’s gotten from the plant called Aspalathus linesris and is a native of South Africa. When the leaves are fermented , they turn red in color . There is a green version of it too but that’s lower in antioxidants. The active ingredient in it is called ASPALATHIN. It is naturally Caffeine free and tannin free. Tannins can inhibit the absorption of nutrients

Considering all these health benefits , sipping on this tea daily will elevate health . I drink this tea twice to thrice a day .

I prefer the Tick tock brand
