The antioxidant levels in Red Rooibos increase dramatically when brewed for ten minutes or longer; Red Rooibos doesn't get bitter when it gets strong. Feel free to keep a pot warm on the stove, drink in the evening without fear of staying up all night, and it's even safe for children to drink!

Rooibos is completely pure and natural; it contains no additives, preservatives or colorants. 

The effect of free radicals (a by-product of normal cell function) in the process of aging and declining of the immune system is limited by the anti-oxidants in Rooibos.  Rooibos has been found to be rich in anti-oxidants plus flavonoids and has 50 times more SOD (The enzyme superoxide dismutase [SOD] catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. As such, it is an important antioxidant defense in nearly all cells exposed to oxygen.) than Chinese Green Tea as well as other anti-oxidants not found in other tea. 

Rooibos supplements the daily amounts of calcium, manganese and especially fluoride, needed for the development of strong teeth and bones. Rooibos contains zinc and alpha-hydroxyl acid , which promotes a healthy skin and magnesium which is necessary for a healthy nervous system. Since Rooibos contains no oxalic acid it can be drunk freely by people suffering from kidney stones. Rooibos is low in tannin and therefore does not have a negative effect on the absorption of iron and proteins into the body.
