Rooibos tea, which is also known as "red bush," is not technically tea, but an herbal brew made from fermented leaves of a native South African plant. Rooibos and its cousin Honeybush are gaining popularity in the United States because of their plentiful health benefits, high levels of antioxidants, low tanin content, and no caffeine--not to mention its slight natural sweetness and *******ing flavor (adding honey enhances this characteristic).

The healing properties of rooibos include using it as a treatment for skin ailments, as an immune system booster, a way to slow the aging process, and a remedy for conditions from insomnia to headaches to anxiety. Also, rooibos does not contain oxalic acid, the compound found in some other types of tea that can cause kidney stones.
