THIS MONTH’S MIRACLE INGREDIENT: SOUTH AFRICAN HERBAL INFUSIONS
Rooibos
Rooibos is our most popular herbal infusion, and the one that has gained the most traction internationally. It’s mainly grown in the Cederberg and is fermented (oxidised) to produce the little brown leaves we all recognise. Interestingly, unoxidised/unfermented green rooibos is actually healthier because the fermentation process lowers its antioxidant capacity, but it’s expensive because it has a more complicated production process.
Rooibos is very low in tannins and has no caffeine,
