At a glance: our tarte tatin rooibos brings together apple, caraway and artisan caramel on a base of natural rooibos. Brewing: 12–15 g/L, water at 100°C (212°F), 7 to 10 min. Caffeine-free, any time of day.

Some teas are brewed to wake you up, others to help you focus. And then there are the ones you prepare the way you'd open a childhood book: for the pleasure of it, for the warmth, for the feeling of something familiar. Our tarte tatin rooibos belongs to that last category.

Built on a base of natural red tea, we've composed an indulgent blend that evokes a classic French pastry: melting apple, butter, caramelised sugar. A creation made for those who love to end a meal on a sweet note, without reaching for dessert.

The aromatic profile of tarte tatin rooibos

This indulgent rooibos unfolds in three stages. Up front, pieces of apple release a fruity, lightly tangy note, almost crisp. Caraway adds a barely-there spiced touch that gently holds the blend together.

At the heart, artisan caramel takes over. Made with sugar, glucose syrup, cream, butter and Guérande sea salt, it brings a buttery roundness and a lingering finish that calls to mind a genuine tarte tatin. It's this caramel signature that gives the blend its immediate generosity.

In the background, the rooibos base unfolds its naturally woody and sweet notes, complemented by moringa leaves that add a delicate green quality. The result is a smooth, indulgent cup with no bitterness whatsoever.

In the cup, the liquor takes on a lovely copper hue. The aroma immediately evokes a grandmother's kitchen on an autumn Sunday. On the palate, caramel comes through gently, followed by stewed apple and a warm, almost comforting finish. Explore our other red teas to continue this gentle journey.

How to brew tarte tatin rooibos

Rooibos is one of the most forgiving infusions there is: it never turns bitter, even if you leave it to steep a little longer. That's what makes it so versatile, from the first cup of the morning to the last of the evening.

Classic hot brew: bring low-mineral water to 100°C (212°F). Use 12 to 15 grams of leaves per litre, roughly a heaped tablespoon for a 250 ml cup. Steep for 7 to 10 minutes.

Iced version: brew a slightly stronger hot infusion, let it cool, then pour over ice. A few slices of fresh apple make a wonderful addition, echoing the blend's aromatic profile beautifully.

Food pairing: this infusion pairs wonderfully with a butter shortbread, a warm compote or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It's a natural after-dinner alternative to coffee, without the stimulating effect. For those who love sweet notes, see also our sweet valley rooibos, a fruity and tender variation.

No added sugar needed: the caramel and apple bring more than enough sweetness to balance the cup. A splash of plant-based milk (oat, almond) turns it into a creamy rooibos latte.

A caffeine-free infusion for any time of day

Rooibos comes from a shrub, Aspalathus linearis, which naturally contains no caffeine or theine. This makes it an ideal drink for those sensitive to stimulants, for pregnant women (on medical advice) or for children looking for a comforting cup.

To learn more about this plant, its cultivation and history, visit our guide Everything you need to know about Rooibos and our dedicated page on the origins of rooibos. Those curious to go further will also find a complete introduction in our article what is rooibos.

Rooibos is traditionally valued for its rich content of polyphenolic compounds, including aspalathin and nothofagin, two antioxidants unique to the plant. The scientific literature available on PubMed includes several studies on the polyphenolic profile of rooibos. For general guidance on herbal infusion consumption, ANSES publishes useful reference sheets worth consulting.

Being caffeine-free, it can be enjoyed freely at any hour: at breakfast for a gentle start to the day, during an afternoon break, or in the evening by the fire. Julien Huot, owner of Thés & Traditions, recommends this cup at the end of the day, as a liquid dessert that soothes without disrupting sleep.

Storage

Blended in our workshop, this mix keeps best away from light, moisture and strong odours. Close the pouch carefully after each use and store in an airtight, opaque tin. Best enjoyed within 12 months to make the most of the caramel's roundness and the apple's fruitiness.
