Warming spiced rooibos tea
Consumed for centuries in South Africa, rooibos tea is created through fermenting the leaves of the shrub, Aspalathus linearis.
Rooibos tea is caffeine free, which makes it a great alternative to black or green teas. It is packed full of antioxidants and has been found to hold cardiovascular benefits too.
With the added anti-inflammatory effects of ginger and digestive benefits of cardamom, it makes quite the cup of tea!
