Rooibos, also called red bush tea, is an herbal infusion made from the South African plant Aspalathus linearis. Unlike black, green, and white teas, it does not come from the tea plant, Camellia sinensis.
What does rooibos taste like?
Red rooibos has a smooth, earthy flavor with naturally sweet and woody notes. Its reddish-brown brew can be enjoyed on its own or blended with fruits, flowers, herbs, and spices.
Green rooibos is processed differently from red rooibos and generally has a lighter, grassier flavor.
Does rooibos contain caffeine?
Plain rooibos is naturally caffeine-free. A finished blend’s caffeine content depends on its other ingredients, so check the individual product information rather than assuming every rooibos blend is caffeine-free.
How can you enjoy rooibos?
Enjoy rooibos hot or iced, plain or with your preferred milk and sweetener. Its flavor also makes it a versatile base for a tea latte. Follow your chosen blend’s brewing instructions for the recommended amount, water temperature, and steeping time.
