PURE ROOIBOS TISANE

Pronounced ‘Roy-Boss’, this rich, nutty brew with a dark copper hue is super-charged with health benefits. Pure Rooibos tea is naturally caffeine-free and bursting with antioxidants. It is also low in tannins, a chemical often present in less premium black tea and green tea that can cause a bitter flavour and interfere with iron absorption. 

The Rooibos (red bush) plant is only grown in one place, the Cederberg region near Cape Town, South Africa. If we could grow rooibos in the UK, we would!  The leaves and stems are taken from the flowering shrub and crushed before leaving to ferment and dry in the sun, a process that has remained virtually unchanged for 300 years.  The distinct red colour is derived from this fermentation process.

What does Pure Rooibos taste like?

Pure Rooibos has a nutty, full-bodied taste without the bitter flavour present in less premium black tea and green tea.  As it is naturally caffeine-free, Pure Rooibos will not keep you up at night and is an excellent choice to be enjoyed at any time of the day.
