I've really gotten in Rooibos tea. I started drinking it for its health benefits which are many:
Green Rooibos tea is unfermented Rooibos tea and it contains 100 times more anti-oxidants and 50 times more SOD than Green Tea.
BUT, the tea naturally contains flouride.
"Rooibos also supplements calcium, manganese and especially fluoride..."
Is flouride that is found naturally in herbs and plants always a problem necessarily?
Thanx
XOXOXO

This is a reply to # 1,368,416No, Rooibos literally translates as "Red bush."
It is a tea made from the needle of the south african red bush.
Chai consists of spices (clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc) added to black tea leaf.- Re: Rooibos tea- flouride? Lonefeather

This is a reply to # 1,368,925OH, that's good then. Trying to stay away from any flouride because of hypothyroidism. Thanks Heavenandhellth!

Hate to burst your bubble but all tea leaf is shown to be high in fluoride, some more than others.
Black tea (in "Chai") and green tea both have elevated levels of fluoride.
The tea plant concentrated fluoride from the environment in its leaves.
Just wanted to let you know

no... only a problem if you are fluoride toxic to begin with.
As an aside... it is habits that tend to get us into trouble, so try to avoid the "habit" of Rooibos and have another tea or three around to have on occasion.
Nutritive teas like nettles, yerba matte, dandelion (leaf or root), and MANY others. There are so many, you are likely to find several you like... I developed an expensive (unfortunately) taste for aged Pu Erh... needless to say, due to cost (it can get pricey like a good bottle of wine/bourbon/scotch) it is only enjoyed once or twice a week.

This is a reply to # 1,368,460Hey Grz
Yes, very true. I do drink those other teas as well. It is definitely not a good idea to drink any healthy tea in bulk!
Yeah, I think that a couple times a week should be fine.
I love nettles, dandelion, and the yerba mate. I also have burdock, peppermint, and sarsaparilla, in rotation as well.
So what is "aged Pu Erh"?
Sounds like something I might like to get into as well!

There have been, and are major issues with China food products (including processed food ingredients) these days and I am at the end of my stash and will likely phase Pu Erh out in spite of only purchasing an extremely high grade "organic".
Who knows if it is or not without the lab to figure it all out...

This is a reply to # 1,368,924as an aside, about the pu ehr, I used to buy a version in a little round green box with red writing. It was ridiculously cheap. (like 2.50?) and lasted for about six months or more: I was drinking a LOT of it. It was my favorite tea, along with dragon well. I can't find it anymore, alas. Now nettles is my usual favorite.
