Organic Rooibos Blue Downs

Organic mango and orange rooibos: a fruit-forward infusion full of natural goodness

The rooibos, also known as red bush tea, originates from the heart of South Africa. It is a plant — closely related to its cousin, golden honeybush — whose leaves are used to prepare herbal infusions. Rooibos brews into a beautiful deep red liquor with a naturally sweet flavour. Rich in antioxidants and naturally caffeine-free, it helps protect cells from oxidative stress (sources: EFSA, Pimpinella anisum ID 1234).
Our organic rooibos is blended with fruit (orange and mango flavouring) — sharing the spirit of our red fruit teas — and fragrant flower petals such as rose, cornflower and marigold. These ingredients add subtle, indulgent notes to your cup.
Nature is at the heart of this organic blend of rooibos, fruit and flowers. Treat yourself to a moment of pure enjoyment, and share your thoughts on this tea in our dedicated reviews section.

The benefits of organic rooibos

In South Africa, rooibos leaf infusion has traditionally been used to support healthy digestion (sources: EMA herbal monograph). Thanks to its antioxidants, this plant helps protect cells from oxidative stress (sources: EFSA).
Orange peel contributes compounds rich in vitamin C and antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress (sources: EFSA). Immunity can be supported by a balanced diet that includes fruits rich in vitamin C. The flower infusion present in this loose-leaf blend is traditionally recognised for promoting relaxation and well-being (sources: EMA herbal monograph). These flowers have a calming effect and contribute to digestive comfort (sources: EMA, EFSA on hold list).
Caffeine-free by nature, rooibos has none of the stimulating effects of coffee or tea. This organic herbal infusion can therefore be enjoyed by all ages, including children.

Brewing guide

How to prepare organic rooibos?

To brew your infusion, follow the instructions on the packaging. Measure out the right amount of organic product and allow it to steep for 7 to 10 minutes. Your cup is ready — enjoy!

How much organic rooibos should I use?

Use 15 to 20 grams of loose-leaf rooibos per litre of water. A teapot, tea infuser or reusable filter bags all work beautifully. After a few minutes of steeping, it is time to sit back and savour.

What is the ideal brewing temperature for organic rooibos?

As indicated on the organic rooibos packaging, use freshly boiled water. Water at 100 °C releases the full aroma and goodness of the blend.

When can I drink organic rooibos?

Organic rooibos can be enjoyed by everyone, at any time of day or evening. Unlike coffee and tea, rooibos contains neither caffeine nor theine. It is perfectly suited to late-evening enjoyment.
