But first, what Is Red Tea?
Red tea comes from the Aspalathus linearis plant, which is native to South Africa. Unlike traditional teas derived from the Camellia sinensis plant and other black and green tea plants, rooibos undergoes a natural fermentation process that gives it its deep red color and slightly sweet taste. This tea has been a staple in South African culture for centuries and is now enjoyed worldwide for its remarkable health benefits and smooth, earthy flavor. You may also notice that red tea is more fine than other teas, and often it may seep through the strainers, but its no worries! Ingesting tea leaves does not pose any serious side effects, especially not red tea.
Just to preface, we are not a health company, however there are studies and cultures that point out the following information:
The Incredible Health Benefits of Red Tea
Rich in Antioxidants
Red tea is packed with polyphenols which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. These antioxidants may contribute to reduced inflammation and improved overall health.
Supports Heart Health
Studies suggest drinking red tea may help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL). The tea’s natural compounds also aid in reducing blood pressure, making it a heart-healthy choice.
Caffeine-Free Energy Boost
Unlike black or green tea, red tea is naturally caffeine-free, making it an excellent option for those looking to avoid caffeine jitters while still enjoying a flavorful and comforting beverage.
Aids in Digestion
Red tea is known to have antispasmodic properties, which help soothe digestive discomfort, reduce bloating, and promote gut health. If you struggle with digestion issues, a warm cup of rooibos tea could be the perfect remedy.
