Rooibos is the new kid on the block for tisanes. You will notice that I make this clarification first and foremost, that rooibos is a tisane as it is not really a tea. If you are not familiar with this term then just take a quick gander over here to find out what is a tisane . Now going forward I will actually be referring to it as a tea… blasphemy you say. No not really, if people want to read it knowing that it is truly not a tea but a tisane then that is cool. I just don’t want to come off as one of those people in tea shops that correct you every time you ask for a chamomile tea and then they have to say actaulllyyyyy it is a tisane…. So if you know that rooibos is a tisane, cool, if not now you do. If you don’t care either way then keep on reading to find out the truth about rooibos and caffeine !

It is good and safe for everybody, for people of all ages and in all conditions. There are many rooibos health benefits to the brew and in this article we will just quickly go over the lack of caffeine and leave the additional discussion for a later day!
It is more appropriate to state that rooibos is not a tea, but a tisane (an herbal infusion) since it does not come from the tea plant. Instead, this beverage comes from the rooibos plant. Rooibos is a shrub that grows only in the land of Cape Town, South Africa. Today, rooibos is gaining popularity around the world due to its unique qualities and benefits. It is also known as red tea because of the color of its leaves and the color of the resulting beverage. Rooibos is available in loose leaf packages or in teabags. It can be served hot or cold.

Studies show that ingesting caffeine during pregnancy especially during the first three months of gestation has been linked to possible issues. Thais is why many turn to rooibos during pregnancy as there is no caffeine in the drink at all. Caffeine is present in beverages such as coffee, tea, and energy drinks. Rooibos has zero caffeine in it. Therefore, pregnant women can safely drink rooibos. Drinking rooibos has a relaxing effect for mothers and has a mild, sweet taste that can be enjoyed anytime.
Traditionally, rooibos has been used to treat infant colic. It is also used to alleviate constipation and remedy stomach problems such as nausea and vomiting. Rooibos can be safely taken by children, even infants. Since it has no caffeine, it does not cause palpitations and stomach irritation. Caffeine, when taken by children, can potentially cause hyperactivity which may later on cause children to develop fatigue and decreased attention span.
If caffeinated drinks can make you become alert, rooibos does the opposite. It helps you to be calm and feel relaxed. Drinking rooibos before bedtime can help you have a good night’s sleep. It could also save you from sleep disturbances and insomnia.
Moreover, coffees and teas contain tannins, chemical that block the absorption of iron. Rooibos contains very low tannins, in negligible amounts, even. Thus, rooibos can be safely drunk without having to worry about iron-deficiency anemia.

Let me tell you about Rooibos caffeine: there is none because it is caffeine-free! You might be surprised upon hearing this but unlike most true tea (white, green and black tea ) rooibos is absolutely and naturally caffeine-free.

Rooibos is an herbal plant exclusively grown in the mountainous Cedarberg Region of North Cape Town, South Africa. It has a naturally mild sweet taste and a fruity flavor. Its leaves are reddish in appearance and so is the resulting drink when rooibos is brewed. This is why people sometimes call the brew Red Tea, even though it does not actually come from the tea plant…
Its scientific name is Asphalatuslinearis. Rooibos does not come from the same plant as white green and black tea (the camellasinensis plant or tea plant) which explains why it has different components than the teas mentioned. This explains why ROOIBOS CAFFEINE never generally go in the same sentence as it is not from the same plant as the true teas, that contain caffeine.
Rooibos might have zero caffeine but like other teas, it is rich in antioxidants. It has the same antioxidants in green tea, polyphenols, which help fight cancer and slows aging. Polyphenols oxidize free radicals before they bind in our body’s cells. Free radicals are those molecules which is responsible for cell degeneration. Therefore, having antioxidants in your diet helps you fight against certain diseases and make your body younger for long.
