Peppermint Patty A rich blend of Darjeeling black tea, peppermint leaves, South African Rooibos and dark chocolate. South African Rooibos comes from the South African Red Bush (Aspalanthus linearis) and contains high levels of antioxidants, calcium, manganese, magnesium, and fluoride. It has been used to treat depression, insomnia, digestive problems, hay fever, and asthma. Rooibos is naturally caffeine free. In a recent study, dark chocolate with high-cocoa content is loaded with epicatechin. It is a particularly active member of a group of compounds called plant flavoniods. Flavoniods keep cholesterol from gathering in blood vessels, reduces the risk of blood clots, lowers blood pressure and slows down the immune responses that lead to clogged arteries.
