Tega / Nu Tea Company Ltd. Organic Pure Green Rooibos (Herbal Tea Fair-Trade) - 20 Tea Bags

The Benefits of Drinking Rooibos

Caffeine-Free
All Tega products are naturally caffeine free. This makes Tega wonderful as an evening tea, since it won't keep you up all night. Caffeine dehydrates our bodies, and Rooibos has the opposite affect it's great for staying hydrated. This makes red tea perfect for works outs and body cleansing.

Organic Certified by Ecocert International
All Tega products are USDA, Eco-cert organic certified. All ingredients used in our products are organic, including the natural flavourings. This means that our flavours are just right soft and not at all over powering.

Naturally sweet without calories
Tega products are naturally sweet so you don't need to add any sugar or honey to your tea; although that doesn't mean you can't! Everyone has their own favourite way of drinking a relaxing cup of Rooibos. Try it without sugar, and then try it with a spoon of sugar and milk. Red tea also makes wonderful low calorie lattes!

Low in tannin, so it doesn't get bitter
Tannin is commonly found in popular Black and Green teas. This is what gives them such distinct and mildly bitter taste and leaves a puckery feeling in your mouth. It is common belief that if you leave your teabag in your tea for too long, or let the tea steep it will get bitter. Not with Tega Rooibos. Our products have such low tannin, that we can steep our tea for hours without them ever getting bitter. In fact, the longer you steep your tea the higher the level of anti-oxidants will get!

Pure and natural, free of additives or preservatives, grown in an unpolluted mountainous terrain
We only use the highest quallity whole leaf Rooibos. All of our products are pure whole leaf Rooibos. You wont find extra sticks and dust in our teabags. Open one up and take a look, to see how our product compares to other brands.
