Well my FREE tea from Republic of Tea showed up today. And they sent me 5 bottles - not the 4 for the expired Kitchen-Universe.com bottles I had received.

Way to go! Not that I didn't already Love ROT for their Red Rooibos and their selection of green teas - but now? WOW

Nutritional and health benefits
Rooibos is becoming more popular in Western countries particularly among health-conscious consumers, due to its high level of antioxidants such as aspalathin and nothofagin, its lack of caffeine and its low tannin levels compared to fully oxidized black tea or unoxidized green tea leaves.[citation needed] "Green" rooibos (see above) has a higher antioxidant capacity than fully oxidised rooibos.
