"As a plant pathologist, I've yet to come across any tea plant that is caffeine-free or it as rich in SOD, anti-oxidants and naturally occurring enzymes as Dr. Nortier's RooiBos Tea. There's no doubt that its therapeutic and anti-ageing benefits far outweigh any other known tea!"	"Dr. Nortier's Rooibos Tea is my choice because it contains SOD. Is rich in anti-oxidants and is caffeine-free. As a doctor, I know caffeine causes addiction, irritability, anxiety and high blood pressure."	"I've found the rich SOD and anti-oxidants content of Dr. Nortier's RooiBos Tea ideal in limiting the damaging effects of free radicals which cause diseases, ageing and the decline of the immune system. Being health-conscious myself, it's also heartening to know that it's caffeine-free!"	"Being health-conscious, I'd say no other tea mastches Dr. Nortier's RooiBos Tea's taste and versatility. It is caffeine-free, contains SOD and is rich in anti-oxidants.

Painstaking research was done on RooiBos Tea by a Japanese Expert, Dr. Masatoshi Nakano. He found that it contained a very high content of Flavonoids which suppress nervousness and chromosome variation. It also has 50 times more SOD than Green Tea, as well as anti-oxidants, nutrients & essential minerals not found in other tea, making RooiBos truly unique and far superior.
