Rooibos
Rooibos tea is truly unique, made from a bush native to (and only found in) South Africa. Perhaps rooibos’ biggest claim to fame is its unique antioxidant content. Specifically, it contains at least two health-enhancing compounds (aspalathin and alpha hydroxy acid) that do not exist in any other natural source that you can ingest. It’s also the only tea that provides quercetin, a powerful weapon against fighting free radicals in the body.
