I've begun drinking rooibos tea (red tea - from South Africa) and it is
creating a slight reduction in my blood pressure. I am seeing it go from
about the 142/65 down to around 128/55 level. There is no other
explanation for the drop. I am doing a cup of the tea in the morning and a
cup in the evening. From what I can find on the Internet it is best to let
it steep for at least 10 minutes. I don't find much flavor to it, but it
does have a slightly sweet taste. I am also using it for iced tea, and
take a bit of that during the day.
This is a caffeine free tea, with several benefits. Here's a couple of
links with more information.
