Rooibos offers a distinctive flavor and plenty of ways to enjoy a cup. Also called red bush tea, it is an herbal infusion made from the South African plant Aspalathus linearis, rather than the tea plant used for black, green, and white teas.
If you’re curious about adding rooibos to your tea routine, here are some practical reasons to give it a try.
A naturally caffeine-free base
Plain rooibos is naturally caffeine-free, offering an alternative when you want a cup without caffeine. Finished blends can include other ingredients, so check each product’s caffeine information before choosing.
Smooth, earthy flavor
Red rooibos has an earthy, woody character with naturally sweet notes. Enjoy it plain to explore its flavor, or add your preferred milk and sweetener.
A versatile foundation for blends
Rooibos pairs with a variety of fruits, flowers, herbs, and spices. That makes it a useful base for fruity, floral, spiced, and dessert-inspired blends.
Hot, iced, or as a latte
Enjoy rooibos as a warm cup, prepare it over ice, or use a suitable blend as the base for a tea latte. Follow your chosen product’s brewing and serving directions for the recommended amount, water temperature, and steeping time.
A different kind of cup
You don’t need a health promise to enjoy rooibos. Choose it for its flavor, its versatility, or simply the pleasure of trying something different.
