Transformations

A cup of tea to say Thank You
For all the things you've done
And wishes that the day will bring
You happiness and fun.
Happy Father's Day!

From the Artist

When we launched Rooibos in 1999, it was nowhere to be found here. Ahmed had the foresight to introduce it because of its overwhelming popularity in his teahouses in Prague, and, sure enough, Rooibos, also called "Red Tea" has become widespread here in America ever since. Known as the "miracle tea" in South Africa for its array of health benefits, it also has a wonderful earthy vanilla taste. Through the years, we have introduced a Green Rooibos and a Rooibos Chai filled with delicious and sultry spices. Enjoy any of them as you sip in the phenomenal benefits of this exotic herb!

Tea Tip

Did you know that the herb
Rooibos from South Africa can
come in both un-oxidized and
oxidized varieties similar to the
difference between white and green
tea? Green Rooibos is made by
stopping the natural fermentation
and oxidization process of the tea
just after it's cut and Red
Rooibos is fermented.

South Africa's mountainous area is home to both popular herbs, Honeybush and Rooibos and these herbs offer a multitude of health benefits that make them a great everyday beverage. Try Numi's selection of South African herbals in straight or blended varieties:
TIP: these caffeine-free teasans make great iced tea!

RED MELLOW BUSH - ROOIBOS
Help Dad relax…
Rooibos is a South African herb rich in anti-oxidants and soothing
to the nerves. Its deep, earthy taste makes it a perfect caffeine-free alternative to black tea. Rooibos is often recommended for people suffering from irritability, headaches, insomnia, nervous tension, mild depression or hypertension. Also known to relieve stomach cramps and colic in infants.

SWEET AFRICAN RED - GREEN ROOIBOS
Help Dad fill up on anti-oxidants…
Un-Oxidized Green Rooibos sweetly accented by healthy
Honeybush. Green Rooibos is actually claimed to have greater
therapeutic properties due to the elimination of oxidization; thus
allowing the levels of anti-oxidants to remain high. The green
rooibos is withered immediately, steamed to prevent oxidation,
and then rolled and dried. It has an earthy vanilla taste.

RUBY CHAI - SPICED ROOIBOS
For spicy Dads…
Full-bodied like black tea, yet soothing any time, Ruby Chai is a spiced Rooibos blend that is a delicious, caffeine-free teasan. Blended with ginger, cardamom, cloves, allspice, nutmeg and cinnamon which have been used for centuries to stimulate digestion and improve appetite. Delicious with milk and honey!

BUSHMEN'S BREW - HONEYBUSH
For a Dad as sweet as honey…
This wild honey-scented flowering bush creates an enticingly rich brew with honey overtones. Honeybush, Numi's Bushmen's Brew, is a deliciously sweet smooth brew and is loaded with minerals and vitamins. The plant also contains dietary phyto-estrogens and flavones which may be helpful in prostate & breast health.

A lovely Numi fan and Dad recently brought his whole family to the Numi Tea Garden on their road trip. He was so excited to see where the Numi Organic Team lived and experience the Tea Garden. Unfortunately it was closed, as it was a Monday, but he did meet Ahmed, our Founder, who welcomed him in and we sent him home with lots of Numi goodies.		Chebi Sabbah exclusive!
