Did someone say tea-break?

Tea seems to be the answer to a lot of life’s problems. There are few things that can withhold the soothing powers of a warm cuppa tea. Tea is known to be not only good for the soul, but the body as well.

Some might say that Green Tea appeals to those with an acquired taste, but none of it remains important once you factor in the incredible health benefits of this greenish beverage. It is loaded with polyphenols like flavonoids and catechins, which function as powerful antioxidants.

One of the more powerful compounds in green tea is the antioxidant Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), which has been studied to treat various diseases and may be one of the main reasons green tea has such powerful medicinal properties.

Our proudly South African Rooibos Tea is known to be one of the healthiest teas out there, not to mention its pleasing aroma and taste. It has been said to help with headaches, insomnia, asthma, eczema, bone weakness, hypertension, allergies, and premature aging. Unlike many teas, Rooibos has no caffeine content and you can drink it throughout the day.

Rooibos tea is rich in many mineral contents such as iron, calcium, potassium, copper, manganese, zinc, magnesium and alpha hydroxy acid. It also contains antioxidants like aspalathin and nothofagin, and the extremely potent and versatile phenolic compounds. We think it is safe to say that we can be proud to call Rooibos Tea our country’s own.

Herbal teas should not be placed on the back-burner and Chamomile is just the tea to prove why. This herbal tea is made from the daisy-like Chamomile plant and is known for its soothing qualities. Taking into consideration the importance of a good night’s rest for our health, this is the ideal tea to put you to bed. Thanks to Chamomile’s calming and mild sedative effects, the tea is treasured for its ability to relieve insomnia and feelings of anxiety, ultimately leading to a healthier lifestyle.
