...the tea  LEAF...

Rooibos (pronounced "ROY - boss") is  Afrikans for 'red bush'; (scientific name:  Aspalathus linearis).   It is a member of the legume family of plants, and is commonly used to make a tisane ( an herbal tea). The Aspalathus linearis plant group consists of more than 200 species originating in the mountainous Cedarberg region of South Africa. The leaves of the bush are harvested, bruised, and left in the sun to oxidize, after which they acquire their red color. The resulting leaves are then boiled or steeped like a tea in order to make a beverage that is enjoyed both hot and cold.

Rooibos has found its way into health and beauty products, and is widely claimed to have been used by the ancient Bushmen (San people) of the region. It is free of caffeine, and contains Aspalathin, a flavonoid present in medicinal herbs used to treat skin and circulatory disorders. It is low in tannin, which inhibits absorption of minerals, at 4.4 percent. It contains traces of fluoride, calcium and manganese.  Japanese research into the effects of oligosaccharides, also found in Rooibos, indicates that these compounds may aid the immune system in fighting viral infections.
