29 May 2024 Laager Rooibos – now CBD infused

Laager Plus CBD-infused Rooibos, which will soon be landing on South African shelves, offers all the goodness of Rooibos with the added benefits of CBD….

The long-term health benefits of the South African-grown Rooibos tea have gained worldwide attention, and with CBD’s incredible health benefits now in the spotlight, Laager Rooibos is fusing the two to bring the country a daily dose of goodness – and likely a first in SA?

CBD – or cannabidiol – is a chemical that occurs naturally in the cannabis plant. However, it is different to THC which is the psychoactive component in the plant, and does not have any mind-altering properties. CBD-infused Rooibos could assist the body to achieve homeostasis – a systemic balance – while contributing to nervous system health and enhanced sleep.

“We’re currently living in a world that is out of balance, and there is always so much to worry about – from the environment, to political conflicts and inequality. All of this external imbalance leads to heightened stress and anxiety, which can create a number of associated health challenges,” says Candice Sessions, Laager marketing & brand strategy manager at Joekels Tea Packers.

“We want to help the South African public to live their best lives by bringing balance and calm to their everyday lives through Laager Plus CBD Rooibos.

“Laager Plus CBD Rooibos is the perfect blend of Rooibos and CBD, providing the caffeine-free, antioxidant-boosting benefits of Rooibos, along with the relaxing, calming, and sleep-enhancing benefits of CBD.  

“It is THC-free, meaning it has no psychoactive or ‘high’ effect, and contains 2mg CBD per teabag – the recommended daily limit for CBD intake is 20mg, making it suitable to consume several cups a day (limited to no more than 9 servings daily).

Laager’s new variant is available in two varieties:

– Laager Plus CBD RELAX: Rooibos and CBD blend, described as “perfect for those feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life, who are looking to restore balance in their day”.

– Laager Plus CBD SLEEP: Rooibos and Chamomile blend with CBD, described as “caters to those looking to shut down after a long day. This is a nightcap with a difference!”
