Rooibos is well known to be one of the most relaxing hot beverages you can brew. The needle shaped leaves of the Red Bush, (Latin: Aspalathus linearis) produce a caffeine free drink that is noted by nutritionists and health consultants the world over for its soothing character.
Traditionally chai, with its base mixture of ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, and clove, is considered to be one of the more overtly spicy and exillerating blends.
Because of the two conflicting characteristics of this tea, it makes a great late afternoon drink. It wont keep you up all night, but it might give you that last boost of energy to get you through the day.
