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.

Long used by the Khoisan people, rooibos is fermented to bring out its sweet, mellow red-brown colour and gentle, low-tannin flavour. It’s a popular black tea alternative and ideal for those avoiding caffeine or bitterness.

This fruity rooibos blend brings together classic British rhubarb and tart raspberry for a refreshing twist on a traditional South African favourite.
