Low tannin  

 Storage of iron is reduced by about one-third in tea drinkers. The culprit? Tannin. Tannins (commonly referred to as tannic acid) can also decrease food intake, growth rate, food efficiency, and protein digestibility. Foods rich in tannins are considered to be of low nutritional value. A study was carried out to determine if Rooibos tea has a deleterious effect on iron absorption similar to that of ordinary tea. Result: Rooibos tea had no significant effect of iron absorption. The limited tannin in this tea also translates to a sweet taste, unlike conventional teas which are bitter mainly because of tannin content.

Flavonoids and Circulation

 Rooibos tea is rich in flavonoids, very powerful antioxidants. Its major flavonoid is aspalathin – found only in Rooibos tea. Flavonoid-containing herbs have traditionally been used to treat capillary and venous disorders. It is well known that they decrease the permeability and fragility of veins and lymph vessels. As a result, they are used to treat leg cramps and various skin and circulatory disorders.
