We infuse smooth rooibos tea with real cocoa husks and sweet vanilla to make this soothing beverage you can melt into. Our rooibos has a deep, earthy vanilla taste, and is known for its calming effects. Honeybush, cocoa and vanilla round out this sweet, mellow brew. Benefits of Chocolate Rooibos Rooibos is rich in antioxidants (aspalathin) that interact with and neutralize free radicals, thus preventing them from causing damage to tissues and cells in the body. Furthermore, Rooibos is known to have a relaxant effect on the body because its polyphenols: aspalathin and nothofagin interfere with the production of cortisol.
