I stand corrected however on stating it is "fluoride" free. It does contain fluoride from the soil. There are claims and counter-claims on its health benefits, however it is an anti-oxidant and is caffeine free. I was a huge coffee drinker (up to 10 cups per day) and have found Rooibos the only caffeine-free beverage to be both flavoursome, satisfying and of importance to me, capable of reducing the cravings for caffeine. (Over the years I have tried many, many substitutes!) However if you are prone to anaemia, I would not recommend it.<br />Incidentally rooibos tea is the tea "Precious" drinks in the series "Number One Ladies Detective Agency", the hit series set in Botswana, Africa. I understand the tea is still popular in South Africa.Alison Allowaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384492138826586132.post-68788956811501012742010-07-09T22:42:59.548+10:002010-07-09T22:42:59.548+10:00A fluoride free tea, and one which is also caffein...A fluoride free tea, and one which is also caffeine free and containing less tannin than other teas is ROOIBOS TEA grown in South Africa. I have just started drinking it and find it very flavoursome and satisfying. The only negative side effect from this tea from research so far indicates that it might compromise iron absorption.Alison Allowaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384492138826586132.post-5027299002415207392010-07-06T20:47:14.947+10:002010-07-06T20:47:14.947+10:00I absolutely agree with the sentiments expressed b...I absolutely agree with the sentiments expressed by Activist.

If you mean however that I should be quiet about an insidious poison surreptitiously put into our drinking water then you are talking to the wrong person. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." - Edmund Burke. Well, I’m not a do "nothing person."<br /><br />Adding fluoride, a waste product from the aluminium and fertilizer industry into our water without asking the people was evil, with a capital E. One cup of tea contains 4mg of fluoride, so why would any reasonable government would want to spend millions to add an extra dosage to a cup of tea? More and more people are waking up and are seeking the truth about fluoride and see through the government spin. In the end, the truth will prevail. I would suggest that you keep “Chopping” but take your blinkers off.<br /><br />By the way, Tasmania has been fluoridated for about fifty years and has 42 fluoridation stations. According to Anglicare Tasmania, they have the worst tooth decay of the nation and the largest population with dentures. Will this tell you something, "China chopper," or are you incapable of correct and valid reasoning?Werner Schmidlin (blogger)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384492138826586132.post-38063730504730564522010-07-05T22:35:08.904+10:002010-07-05T22:35:08.904+10:00It is obvious that China Chopper’s brain, assuming...It is obvious that China Chopper’s brain, assuming he/she has one, has been affected by to much fluoride already. One of the symptoms of this is making silly comments, diminished capacity of using his/her brain to consider something carefully, has been brainwashed by the Queensland Labor Party, and is one of those creatures who are never capable of seeking and accepting the truth. If you enjoy drinking fluoridated water, so be it, but why should I be forced to drink it drink it when is causes me health problem? I would call you a birdbrain, but I won’t, as this would be an insult to the birds – as they are much, much smarter.True blue Australian choppernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384492138826586132.post-21565960104439235962010-07-05T21:47:43.654+10:002010-07-05T21:47:43.654+10:00China Choppers, you may be happy to swallow your t...China Choppers, you may be happy to swallow your toxic waste mass medication, but I for one am thankful that Werner continues to speak out against this unsafe, ineffective, outdated and unethical practice.
