Organic Plain Rooibos

Pure rooibos: a caffeine-free red tea from South Africa

We selected this organic pure rooibos from the Cederberg mountains, north of Cape Town. This plant grows exclusively in South Africa, nowhere else in the world. South Africans call it "red bush" due to its beautiful copper color once infused. Its fine needle-like leaves produce an orange-red liquor with a delicate taste that becomes full-bodied without ever turning bitter, even after a long infusion. This organic pure rooibos is delicious on its own, but also lends itself beautifully to blends: with vanilla for more indulgence, or combined with fruits and spices to create original infusions.

Pure rooibos tradition and tasting

The great advantage of rooibos? It naturally contains no caffeine. You can therefore enjoy it at any time of day, even in the evening, and share it with the whole family. It is traditionally appreciated for its mild flavor and natural hazelnut notes that warm the palate. (The information above is based on traditional uses listed by the EMA and EFSA.)

Our tasting recommendations

How to prepare your pure rooibos?

Unlike green teas that prefer simmering water, rooibos loves boiling water at 100°C. Let it steep for 7 to 10 minutes: this is the time needed for it to fully release its aromas and natural hazelnut flavor. A tip: remember to rinse your teapot and cup with boiling water before infusing, this preheats your accessories and preserves the warmth of your beverage.

How much should you use?

Use 15 to 20 grams of organic pure rooibos per 1 liter of water. For a cup, 3 to 4 grams is sufficient, about a heaping teaspoon. You can adjust according to your taste: a bit more if you like it strong, a bit less for a lighter infusion.

At what temperature should you steep?

Organic pure rooibos requires water at 100°C, unlike more delicate teas such as green or white teas. This high temperature allows the leaves to unfold their full aromatic palette. After 7 to 10 minutes, your infusion is ready. Rooibos has the unique quality of never becoming bitter, even if you let it steep longer.

When to enjoy it?

This organic rooibos adapts to all your moments: plain or with a splash of milk, at breakfast, as a mid-afternoon treat, or in the evening before bed. In summer, serve it iced: it becomes the perfect base for refreshing citrus beverages, which you can garnish with a few slices of orange or lemon.

Why choose our loose leaf pure rooibos?

We chose loose leaf to guarantee you the best quality. Our organic loose leaf rooibos is packaged in our workshops in France, in zippered pouches or metal tins to preserve all its freshness. Unlike individual tea bags from stores, we only select whole leaves. The result? An infusion with an authentic and generous taste, without dust or broken pieces.

  Good taste. Reasonable price. However, lots of very small particles which pass through the special strainer and fall into the cup. (Translated review)
