Description

Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free and rich in vitamin C, offering a deliciously smooth and flavourful cup. Originally a wild-growing herb native to South Africa, it is now carefully cultivated to meet worldwide demand. The leaves are harvested, dried, and finely cut to create this distinctive tea.

When brewed, Rooibos produces a rich, dark ruby-red infusion with a soft, naturally sweet taste, featuring subtle notes of honey and gentle fruity undertones. Adding milk transforms the tea, creating a smooth, creamy cup reminiscent of a light-bodied traditional black tea - perfect for those seeking a caffeine-free alternative that be drunk all day long.
