BHTV #18 – The Benefits of Rooibos Tea




Being Healthy for Busy People show

Summary: I was introduced to rooibos 7 years ago when David and I were celebrating our first anniversary at a fine restaurant in Palo Alto, California.  After we finished our delicious meal, we decided to cap our celebration with some tea and a shared dessert.  Our server suggested that we try their loose leaf rooibos tea to match our dessert.  So, feeling adventurous, we went for it.  And that night we fell in love with the sweet, soothing herbal red tea.  Since then, we have been drinking it nightly, which those of you who follow me on twitter know already.  I am a HUGE fan of rooibos because not only does it taste great, it is also caffeine free, making it an ideal nighttime drink.<br> So, today my goal is to introduce you to this wonderful herbal, red tea that not only tastes heavenly, but is also very healthy to drink.  So, sit back and enjoy the show!<br> If you haven’t yet, please subscribe through <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=319927062">iTunes</a>.<br> <br> References used while researching this show are <a href="http://rooibos.com">rooibos.com</a> and Wikipedia.<br>
