Does rooibos (redbush) tea stain teeth?!
Question:
Does rooibos (redbush) tea stain teeth?
It's caffeine and tannin-free, but it's quite red in colour. Does it stain more or less than ordinary tea?
Answers:
Its the tannins in ordinary tea that stains the teeth.
Rooibos tea is caffeine free but not not tannin free. However, the tannin content is so much lower than ordinary tea and can be as little as 1/10th that of ordinary tea:

So it stains less than ordinary tea in answer to your question.
I love rooibos tea, its great with the addition of a small amount of milk, as the Brits drink ordinary tea. This is the way it is drunk in S Africa, from where rooibos originates.
Hope this helps your enquiry.
Best wishes.
