The enormous health potential of Red Tea is becoming increasingly evident through studies done by The AICHI Medical University, Japan. The Japanese are calling it "Long Life Tea" Studies show Red Tea contains a substantial amount of a very special enzyme, Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) which is a prime preventer of Free Radical Damage. SOD also has the capability of preventing fats from changing into harmful lipid peroxide. As Red Tea also contains natural antioxidants, which help to remove or neutralize these toxins, there is growing acceptance that Red Tea could assist in countering the aging process and boost the immune system. Red Tea is also rich in Quercetin, the flavonol that has beneficial effects on numerous ailments. It is well known for increasing capillary strength, which aids in circulation, prevents hemorrhaging, and protects against infections. Besides containing natural antioxidants, Rooibos also contains natural minerals, Vitamin C, alpha-hydroxyl acid, no caffeine, no oxalic acid and very low tannin content. The health properties and healing power of Red Tea are furthermore ascribed to the low tannin content and the variety of minerals it contains.
