Botanical name: Aspalathus linearis
Origin: South Africa

Our organic red rooibos tea brews into a smooth, naturally sweet, amber-red cup with warm, gently nutty notes. Naturally caffeine-free and low in tannins, rooibos is a beloved everyday tea traditionally enjoyed for its calming, digestive-friendly nature and gentle, nourishing qualities.

Harvested in South Africa’s Cederberg region, rooibos is oxidized to develop its signature red colour and mellow flavour.

About Red Rooibos Tea

Rooibos has a long history of traditional use in South Africa, where it has been enjoyed as an everyday beverage for generations. It naturally contains antioxidant compounds, including aspalathin and nothofagin, and small amounts of minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and potassium.

Traditionally, rooibos has been used as a gentle, soothing tea to support relaxation, digestive comfort, and overall wellbeing. Because it is caffeine-free and smooth, it is often used daily over time rather than for acute purposes.


How to Brew

  • Hot tea: Steep 1–2 tsp per cup of freshly boiled water for 5–7 minutes

  • Iced tea: Brew strong, strain, and chill

  • Delicious plain or with milk and a touch of honey
