http://praisetea.com/blog/2011/07/rooibos-tea/
Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) has long been enjoyed as a fruity, mild-flavored beverage by the locals where it is grown in South Africa. The mild flavor of rooibos (pronounced Roy-Boss) has made it a very popular ingredient in various herbal tea blends.
Green rooibos is often preferred because it contains a considerably higher level of antioxidants. The fermentation step does decrease the antioxidant activity of the tea, possibly due to the 25% loss of polyphenolics during the process. The tea gets withered and steamed immediately thus preventing oxidation. This results in a lighter and more aromatic taste and a deep green color of the beverage.
Rooibos has no caffeine and is low in tannin, so it can be enjoyed all day long without any unpleasant side effects. Unlike many other teas, this one is naturally caffeine free. A cup of rooibos tea before bedtime can be soothing and help you relax if you are suffering insomnia or stress..This also makes it a great tea for pregnant women and nursing mothers.

Often time customers will ask us about pricing as it relates to price per cup, price per ounce, of hot tea, or price per cup for a gallon of brewed iced tea. We will break down the cost per cup of tea for you.
If you divide all of our prices by 4, you will get the price per oz. Example: Lemon Soleil Green Tea - $12.00 per 1/4 lb. (4 oz.) package = $3.00 per oz. In a 4 oz. (1/4 lb) bag of tea there are approximately 50 cups. This equals 24 cents per cup of brewed tea. If you choose to re-steep your tea, a second time, that price is cut in half.
Iced tea uses 1oz. per gallon of brewed tea. That equals approximately eleven (12 oz.) glasses of tea. $11.00 for 1/4 lb of Blood Orange Herbal Tea @ $2.50 / oz. of tea = 21 cents per glass of iced tea. REMEMBER, almost all of our teas can be steeped twice. That cuts the actual cost in half. a fantastic value for you!!
Teas are a great value for your hard earned dollar. So enjoy!!

January: National Hot Tea Month
January is National Hot Tea Month and most of us have already made resolutions of one sort or another. Those that are simple to incorporate into our lives are the ones we are most likely to keep past January. Make tea a part of your daily routine and lifestyle.
Research states that, tea is one way to achieve a healthier lifestyle. Maybe being healthier is one of your most important health resolutions for the New Year? Why not incorporate tea into your drink options and a little less of other types of drinks.
For those who are looking to shed a few holiday pounds. A study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition suggests that substances in tea may even promote weight loss by increasing the amount of energy spent by the body. The theory is that green tea, because of the catechin (pronounced "cat E kins") content, has thermogenic properties that promote fat oxidation, may work together with other chemicals to increase weight loss.
This antioxidant, nutrient-rich beverage has also been credited with protecting against and helping to lower the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and cholesterol.
So do your happy dance and get your teapots steamed up for a cup your favorite Praise Tea. Tea lovers rejoice!
Wishing you all a Happy New Year filled with Tea and Good Health,
Tea Time Facts…
•The caffeine content of tea is 40 mg in one cup of tea as compared to 99 mg of caffeine in a cup of coffee.
•Black and Green teas contain a certain type of antioxidant called flavenoids.
•To be labeled "decaffeinated," the caffeine content per cup of tea must be approximately 5 mg.
•The difference between Black, Green, and Oolong tea is a result of the changes that occur during processing of the tea leaves. They are all made of the same type of tea leaves.
