[Tea for the day] Numi's Rooibos

According to my friend SS. who can feel and see energy, Rooibos is very powerful in healing. The first time it was offered to me, I thought it was Pu er with a stronger scent and slight sour taste. But it turned out to keep me awake all night. I straight away knew it is not pu er and turned curious about it. As it looks as dark as a classic blend of black tea. It's quite sweet and easy to drink. I didn't mean to doubt SS. But is it really healing or is it just very strong in caffeine. If it's healing, shouldn't it make me sleepy?

The truth was quite surprising, as google told me it contains no caffeine but high level in anti oxidant than green tea. It is a suitable drink for pregnant women and children who cannot take caffeine and is extremely healthy as it reduces the activity of XO which could aid in treatment of gout. It is also very popular for its rich level in minerals and cancer fighting qualities.

It soon becomes one of my favorites. There are many different blends out there, some brands blend it with fruits or vanilla. But I still love to go with the original with my personal blend with a block of ginger sugar.

After all, I feel it's energy booster and I guess that's why in South Africa they call it 'Red Expresso'. Not a bad choice, when you want to cut down caffeine and step closer to immoral beauty.
