This is the first time I have heard of it, so I looked it up. Pronounced "Roy Boss"

Rooibos contains Aspalathin, a flavonoid found in medicinal herbs that are used to treat skin disorders and circulatory disorders.

 

Flavanoids found in Rooibos may also have anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties.

 

Japanese research on Oligosaccharides found in Rooibos concludes that these compounds may aid one’s immune system to fight viral infections ( i.e HIV )

I just found a tea that is rooibos. It's made by Stash and is red tea. The only ingredient is rooibos, caffeine free, herbal. Tastes pretty good, a little different and it is red.
