Emily and Russell share a common love for Rooibos tea, a unique and flavorful herbal infusion made from the leaves of the Aspalathus Linearis shrub, native to the west coast of South Africa. Unlike black or green tea, Rooibos undergoes a special fermentation process that gives it its signature reddish-brown hue. For those who prefer a lighter taste, Green Rooibos offers an unfermented alternative.

Rooibos tea is renowned for its high levels of antioxidants, particularly aspalathin and quercetin, which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Regular consumption of these antioxidants may lower the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Additionally, Rooibos has been shown to support healthy cholesterol levels, potentially reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Its benefits also extend to blood sugar control, helping to manage insulin resistance and promote overall wellness.
