Although reminiscent of green tea, Green Tick Tock is made from only rooibos and so has all the health benefits of being caffeine free and low in tannin. Harvested by hand in the Cedarberg Mountains, the traditional principles of curing green tea are used, only the freshest leaves are chosen and all bruising avoided.
Research by the Medical Research Council in South Africa has shown both redbush (Rooibosch) and its relative honeybush to have considerable antimutagenic properties, reduce the number of pre-cancerous lesions in a liver cancer model and cause a 70% reduction in skin tumours. Redbush contains a variety of antioxidant compounds - making up some 30% of the plant's volume, some of which are not found in other plants. These antioxidants were observed to be most effective when redbush was taken daily. It has the additional benefits of being caffeine free with a low tannin content and contains iron, fluoride and vitamin C.
