Partners, Nira Maslin and Michael Broomberg, founded African Red Tea
Imports in 2000 in order to import and package authentic Red Tea and
distribute the product internationally. A year later, they opened
The Rooibos Tea House, dedicated to reaching a Southern California
audience with their organic blends of sweet, aromatic red-bush tea.

Facts...
Red Tea was discovered by European explorers over 300 years ago in a
specific mountain region of South Africa. Red Tea was not widely
available until the early 1990s when sanctions on South African
products were lifted at the end of the apartheid regime.
Since then, Red Tea has been scientifically analyzed and documented
to be rich in iron, potassium, calcium, copper, zinc, magnesium,
fluoride, manganese, sodium and other health-giving nutrients.
According to one scientific study, reported in Alternative Medicine
magazine, the highly defensive natural antioxidant properties found
in Red Tea are up to 50 times more potent than those of green tea.
Equally exciting, the tea is considered to be anti-aging,
particularly for preventing age-related byproducts of oxidation in
the brain. That the tea is naturally caffeine free is another bonus.
