Celebrated as one of the world’s most healthful and distinctive herbal teas, rooibos is unparalleled in its character and charm. Derived from Aspalathus linearis, a legume native to South Africa’s pristine landscapes, rooibos transcends conventional tea classifications to offer a truly unique experience.
Harvested at the height of summer, its fine leaves and stems undergo a meticulous oxidation process, transforming from sunlit yellow to their iconic deep red hue. This careful alchemy imparts rooibos with a full-bodied richness that mirrors the depth of traditional teas. Yet, unlike tea, rooibos is entirely caffeine-free—a naturally soothing choice for any time of day. Therefore, rooibos is one of the few herbal teas that can hold up nicely to additives such as milk, due to its richness reminiscent of black tea.
With its inherent tangy-sweet notes, rooibos shines on its own but reaches new heights in our Organic Vanilla Rooibos, where pure Madagascar Vanilla Bean lends an opulent, velvety smoothness.
