Taste Profile

Rooibos Earl Grey Tea has a mellow, naturally sweet flavour with warm, earthy undertones and distinctive bergamot citrus notes.

The rooibos gives the blend a rounded body, while the bergamot adds a fragrant, refreshing finish. Enjoy it without milk to appreciate the citrus character, or add a splash for a softer, creamier cup.

Origin of Rooibos Tea

Rooibos, also known as “red bush”, is a South African herbal infusion made from the needle-like leaves of the Aspalathus linearis plant. It is closely associated with the Cederberg region, where it has been grown and enjoyed for generations.

Traditional red rooibos is oxidised after harvesting, developing its characteristic reddish-brown colour and naturally sweet, mellow flavour.

In this blend, rooibos provides a full-bodied base for the bergamot notes associated with Earl Grey, bringing together two familiar tea styles in one naturally caffeine-free infusion.

How To Brew

For a cup of Rooibos Earl Grey Tea, we recommend:

• Tea quantity: 1 tsp (approximately 2g) per cup
• Water temperature: 100°C / freshly boiled
• Steeping time: 5–8 minutes, adjusting to taste
• Serving suggestions: Enjoy on its own, with a splash of milk, or with a little honey
