Organic Plumstead Rooibos

An organic rooibos herbal tea with orange and grapefruit flavor

With its red color, our organic Plumstead rooibos herbal tea combines the flavor of citrus, the delicious taste of tropical fruits, and the honey notes of cornflower blossoms.
Produced in the Cederberg mountains of South Africa, our rooibos is organically grown. Its needle-like leaves are hand-harvested, fermented, and sun-dried. Like all our rooibos herbal teas, the delicate taste of organic Plumstead rooibos can become full-bodied but never bitter, even with prolonged steeping.

Unlike traditional teas, our rooibos contains no theine.
