Apple cinnamon rooibos: a sweet and delicious blend
We created this apple cinnamon rooibos around South African rooibos, a naturally sweet and caffeine-free plant. To give it character, we added apple pieces that bring a fruity and sweet touch, cinnamon for spicy warmth, fennel for its delicately aniseed notes, and a few cloves. A subtle touch of licorice enhances the blend and creates a delicious infusion with multiple facets.
