(Food-Beverage-News.Com, June 30, 2014 ) Cape Town, Western Province -- Set to make its mark on July 4 picnics across America, South African-grown Rooibos tea has become a popular choice for iced teas with a twist. Now even easier to find on Amazon.com, Rooibos Rocks tea is certified USDA Organic and blends health boosting properties with delicious taste.
In celebration of US Independence Day festivities, Rooibos Rocks co-founder Madeleine Stokes has confirmed their 4-4-4' offer which will give all customers a $4 discount off its red bush tea for 4 days from and including Tuesday July 1st through to and including Friday July 4th.
"We're excited about combining US July 4th celebrations with our recent launch to give our customers the opportunity to taste Rooibos tea", explains Stokes. "All customers using the coupon code GV4YOX7A on Amazon.com will be able to purchase one box of Rooibos Rocks red tea containing 100 bags for the specially reduced price of $12.95 while stocks last. By making the most of our offer, tea lovers can be sure they're supporting sustainable farming practices and the people who have depended on the Rooibos industry in the Cederberg region of South Africa for generations".
"Our organic Rooibos is naturally sweet and packed with antioxidants and, because it's caffeine-free, it's a healthy tea that the whole family can enjoy, including children, infants and breastfeeding mothers", adds Stokes. "Its distinctive amber color and aroma make it an ideal choice for refreshing iced teas that will quench a nation's thirst".
With over 158 million Americans drinking it on any given day, tea is the second most widely consumed beverage in the world after water and is found in almost 80% of all U.S. households. In 2013, the production value of the global tea market reached USD17.6 billion, and demand for herbal teas has fuelled production growth of more than 15% a year. Of all the tea consumed in America, 85% is iced.
Rooibos Rocks natural red tea is made from the needle-like leaves of the 3-4 foot high shrub Aspalathus Linearis, which is native to a biodiverse and mountainous area north west of Cape Town in South Africa. Rich in antioxidants, Rooibos is the only known source of the potent aspalathin, which could play a role in protecting against several lifestyle diseases.
"We're excited to tell the world about the incredible health benefits of Rooibos tea", adds Stokes. "As health-conscious consumers look for healthier, sugar free and caffeine-free alternatives to regular black and green teas, we believe Rooibos tea will continue to grow in popularity".
Rooibos Rocks 100% organic red tea is full bodied with no bitter after taste and contains no additives or preservatives. In over 30 countries, Rooibos is enjoyed as a hot or cold beverage, with or without milk and sweeteners. And adding Rooibos tea to savory and sweet dishes puts a unique spin on old recipe favorites.
