Rooibos
Two years ago, after a long day in the sun, my aunt made me a cup of red tea (rooibos) - a tea native to South Africa (also called "red bush")
I have been drinking it ever since, only in the summer for some reason. Especially on really hot sunny days.
It is fucking delicious just clear and it doesn't get bitter if it sits for a while. No caffeine but it contains something like 10 different minerals and was used in the old days to treat all kinds of stomach problems and fevers.

If you decide to buy some then get the real organic leafy stuff.
Aside from the health benefits, there is just something about the taste of this tea that is fucking glorious. Its aroma is almost intoxicating.

According to studies conducted in South Africa and Japan Rooibos has been shown to aid in health problems such as insomnia, irritability, headaches, nervous tension, and hypertension.
Studies also show that this tea contains anti - spasmodic agents, which can relieve stomach cramping.
In South Africa Rooibos has been used to treat allergies such as hay fever, asthma and eczema very effectively .
It is also used to treat irritated skin. Rooibos is brewed and placed directly on infected areas. Rooibos contains anti - oxidants which can help slow the aging process and boost the immune system.
Rooibos is a great thirst quencher and is an excellent beverage for active people, including children. Most kids will drink Rooibos without added sugar or sweeteners.
This tea contains almost no oxalic acid, making it a good beverage for people prone to kidney stones. Rooibos contains the following minerals: copper, iron and potassium, calcium, fluoride, zinc, manganese, alpha- hydroxy ( for healthy skin ) and magnesium (for the nervous system) are also components of this tea. |
I want to make the COR a steaming cup of red tea

It tastes like you're drinking the fucking sunshine.
