Some drinks address energy, and contain loads of caffeine. Others focus on digestion\u2014kombucha, for example. The new wave of sodas, like Poppi and Olipop, also fix on digestion\u2014they contain prebiotic fiber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then there\u2019s hydration beverages, the elixirs containing electrolytes and other botanical ingredients that help quench thirst. That market is booming\u2014expected to grow to as much as $12 billion by 2030, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8% to 12%. That\u2019s serious growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once embraced primarily by athletes\u2014Gatorade is OG functional hydration beverage\u2014now nearly everybody wants to optimize hydration, from jet-lagged travelers to sales road warriors to beach-going teens. They seek hydration with benefits\u2014ingredients like magnesium, zinc and B-12. They want flavor\u2014just plain old water is a bit pass\u00e9. So are things like sugar, food dyes and artificial flavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fresh flood of hydration beverages has raised awareness about the importance of healthy hydration\u2014bodies struggling to remain hydrated experience inflammation, which impacts health. But the new drinks aren\u2019t cheap. Many of them can cost $5 or more for a 12-ounce bottle or can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Electrolytes, antioxidants, zero caffeine\u2014rooibos brings hydration home<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AdobeStock_97417744-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5148\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AdobeStock_97417744-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AdobeStock_97417744-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AdobeStock_97417744-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AdobeStock_97417744-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AdobeStock_97417744-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/AdobeStock_97417744-1600x1067.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a way, however, to DIY the hydration game at home\u2014and to save a lot of money. Brew tea! Specifically, teas that contain rooibos (pronounced ROY-boss), the wonder plant South Africans drink constantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This plant contains electrolytes, those charged minerals like sodium and potassium that figure largely in the formulations for hydration beverages. While the electrolyte quotient in rooibos isn\u2019t massive, it still matters. And as a caffeine-free beverage, rooibos maintains its electrolytes\u2014caffeine can strip them away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile the plant contains other properties that boost hydration and overall health. For one, rooibos is low in tannins, which contributes toward better absorption of important minerals like iron. And with antioxidants like aspalathin and nothofagin, which are unique to rooibos, it can help support health, combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With summer\u2019s heat upon us, along with the season\u2019s many physical enchantments\u2014hiking, cycling, kayaking, you name it\u2014stay hydrated and healthy! And nail the hydration part of the equation by brewing rooibos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of the teas featured below, of course, are wonderful iced. Not only can you brew individual mugs that you cool down with ice, you also can batch a gallon or more of rooibos and park it in the refrigerator. Headed out for a long hike? Fill that thermos with cold rooibos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rooibos Tea for Hydration: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/product\/Cape-Town-Medley\/3685\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Cape Town Medley<\/mark><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/product\/Cape-Town-Medley-Iced-Tea\/3704\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Cape Town Medley 1 Gallon Iced Tea Bags<\/mark><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cape-town-medley.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5144\" style=\"width:550px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cape-town-medley.jpeg 550w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cape-town-medley-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.kuchatea.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/cape-town-medley-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Rooibos ups your hydration game\u2014minus the price tag.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Customers adore this beautiful tea, which combines rooibos with pomegranate\u2014gorgeous red color!\u2014pomelo and orange for citrus slaps, carrot for a savory note and safflower for floral qualities and texture.
