- Rooibos Tea: Known for its high antioxidant content, Rooibos tea is rich in aspalathin, a unique antioxidant found only in this type of tea. It is also a good source of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium. The antioxidants in Rooibos tea may help protect against heart disease, reduce inflammation, and support bone health. Additionally, Rooibos is often recommended for its calming effects and can aid in promoting a good night's sleep. - Caramel Flavor: While the caramel flavor itself does not provide significant health benefits, the absence of added sweeteners in some similar blends (though not explicitly stated for Cafe Rustic) can be beneficial for those monitoring their sugar intake. - Marigold Blossoms: Marigold flowers are sometimes used in herbal remedies for their anti-inflammatory properties and may help soothe digestive issues. However, their primary role in this blend is likely for their floral flavor and aroma.
- Rooibos Tea: Originating from South Africa, Rooibos tea has been consumed for centuries by the indigenous Khoisan people. It was traditionally used for its medicinal properties and as a beverage. The name "Rooibos" is Afrikaans for "red bush," which describes the reddish-brown color of the tea leaves after fermentation. Rooibos tea became popular worldwide in the 20th century for its unique flavor and health benefits. - Caramel: Caramel has its roots in ancient times, with evidence of caramel-like sweets dating back to the ancient Greeks and Romans. However, modern caramel as we know it today, made from sugar, glucose syrup, and other ingredients, is a product of the 19th century. It has become a staple in many desserts and beverages around the world. - Coffee: Coffee has a rich history that dates back to Ethiopia over 1,000 years ago. It spread throughout the Arabian Peninsula and eventually to Europe, becoming a central part of many cultures. While Cafe Rustic does not contain actual coffee beans, the flavor of coffee is a nod to this globally beloved beverage. - Marigold Blossoms: Marigold flowers have been used in various cultures for their medicinal and culinary properties. In traditional Indian medicine, marigold flowers are used for their anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. In some European cultures, marigold petals are used as a garnish or in salads for their bright color and mild flavor.
