Rooibos, sometimes called red tea, wins hearts with its natural sweetness and complete absence of caffeine. Paired with organic vanilla, it becomes a comforting drink that suits quiet mornings and winter evenings alike.

In crafting this blend, we kept things simple: natural Rooibos, a vanilla extract, and whole pod pieces, all certified organic. Nothing superfluous, just the essentials for a round, honest cup.

Flavour profile of Vanilla Rooibos

The moment you open the pouch, the warm scent of organic vanilla rises up, wrapping around the copper-coloured Rooibos stems. It's an immediate invitation to indulgence, with no heaviness or added sugar.

In the cup, the infusion unfolds in three stages. On the first sip, honeyed and woody notes from the Rooibos. In the heart, vanilla opens up with a creamy, almost pastry-like softness. The finish lingers gently, naturally sweet, with nothing added.

The liquor takes on a beautiful amber hue, deep and luminous at once. The texture is silky, almost velvety, making each cup particularly comforting.

  • Organic Rooibos: a smooth, honeyed, lightly woody base with no bitterness or astringency.
  • Organic vanilla extract: brings the signature aromatic roundness, indulgent and enveloping.
  • Organic vanilla (1%): visible pod pieces that extend the creamy notes through to the finish.

This infusion will delight anyone looking for a warming, caffeine-free drink. It fits a thousand moments: an afternoon break, a pairing with dessert, or a calming cup before bed.

How to brew Vanilla Rooibos

Rooibos is wonderfully forgiving: unlike tea, it never turns bitter, even with a long steep. Feel free to brew generously to draw out the full aromatic richness of the vanilla.

Our recommended brewing parameters:

  • Quantity: 15 to 20 g per litre, approximately 2 teaspoons per cup.
  • Temperature: 100°C (212°F), freshly boiled water.
  • Steeping time: 7 to 10 minutes, depending on your preferred strength.
  • Water: low in minerals to preserve the aromas.

A glass or ceramic teapot works beautifully. Pour the boiling water over the stems, cover to retain the delicate vanilla aromas, then strain after steeping.

Iced version: steep for 10 minutes hot, then cool with a few ice cubes. A refreshing, naturally sweet drink for warmer days. Try it for your summer breaks.
