Rooibos Tea

The plant, cultivation and production

Against allergies
In April 1968 Annique Theron, who had been struggling with her allergic baby for 14 months, inadvertently added Rooibos ^TM tea to her baby's bottle to warm the milk. The baby had been suffering from severe colic attacks and cried constantly. For the first time in 14 months her baby girl slept uninterrupted for more than three hours, and the vomiting subsided. Annique realized that Rooibos^TM tea was instrumental in the relief of her baby's colic.

Annique made extensive inquires about her discoveries and found no documentation regarding the beneficial effects of Rooibos ^TM tea. With the help of a journalist friend, Annique found eighteen mothers with babies suffering from a variety of food allergies. These eighteen babies were to form the core of the study she conducted to verify her findings. All of these babies reacted positively to the addition of Rooibos ^TM tea to their diets, some in only a few days. Annique's findings were published in the local Sunday news paper, and she was inundated with calls from mothers with similar problems.

Since that historical discovery and the documentation of Annique's findings, she helped thousands of allergic babies, children, and adults with the healing properties of Rooibos^TM tea. In 1970 Annique published her findings and studies in her book entitled: Allergies: An Amazing Discovery

In 1975 Annique launched Annique Rooibos^TM Skin Care products. The product line consists of a complete skin care program. Rooibos^TM products are uniquely formulated to respond to your specific skin type and consistent use will result in healthy radiant skin.

There are several ways to prepare Rooibos^TM Tea. Here are some suggestions.
We welcome any new recipes you may discover. Send us an email, please.

Hot Tea: Three cups of boiling water for each tea bag of Rooibos ^TM Tea. Pour boiling water over the tea bags in a tea pot, and allow to draw for several minutes. Rooibos^TM Tea has a natural sweet taste, and often is drunk without adding sugar, honey, lemon or milk. It makes a lovely afternoon tea.

Iced Tea: Prepare a strong concentrate of Rooibos^TM Tea by boiling two quarts of water with at least ten tea bags. Simmer for 30 minutes until the tea is very strong and mahogany in color. Cool and store in the refrigerator. Serve with lots of ice, a squeeze of lemon, or a sprig of fresh mint.

South African Punch: Prepare a quart of strong Rooibos^TM Tea, and while hot, add 160g of sugar and stir until dissolved. When cool, add one litre orange juice, one litre apple juice, three cups spring water and one litre ginger ale. Garnish with cherries, mint, apple and lemon slices.

Rooibos^TM con Sangría Señoriál: Add one part concentrate of Rooibos^TM Tea to two parts Sangría Señorial, and add a squeeze of lime. The Sangría Señorial is a non-alcoholic wine tasting beverage, and when combined with the soothing effects of Rooibos^TM Tea you wind up with one of the few pleasures in life that is really good for you.

If Rooibos^TM Tea is stored in the refrigerator it has a very long shelf life. Try it with fruit juice, it's a refreshingly delicious drink.
