Origin of Rooibos Tea
Rooibos (pronounced “roy-boss”) is a naturally caffeine-free herbal tea made from the needle-like leaves of the Aspalathus linearis plant, native to South Africa’s Cederberg region.
Used for centuries by the indigenous Khoisan people, rooibos is oxidised to develop its rich red colour and smooth, slightly sweet taste. Its naturally low tannin content and mellow flavour make it a popular caffeine-free alternative to black tea.
In this blend, rooibos is elevated by cocoa and orange for a luxurious infusion that’s perfect for dessert lovers.
