Sourced from South Africa where the Aspalathus linearis, a member of the Fabaceae family of plant, grows natively, Rooibos or Red Bush, so named because of the fresh green rooibos leaves turn a distinctive red colour following oxidization, is a caffeine-free herbal tea that has been growing in popularity over recent years.

Like our standard luxury Organic Rooibos tea, this Tisane, another name for a Herbal Tea, has the same features the same single-origin South African loose-leaf from the Western Cape, but with added vanilla pieces and natural vanilla flavouring. Once the small, needle-like leaves have infused with boiling water, a bright orange infusion is seen.

For those who already love the full-bodied, earthy caramel and creamy taste of Red Bush, this blend elevates expectations with a mild vanilla sweet aftertaste that is ever so moreish. Enjoy as a hot or cold brew, with or without milk and sweetener.

One of the best features of drinking Rooibos tea is its similar taste to black tea. However, a cup of Rooibos can be enjoyed at any time of the day thanks to it being naturally caffeine-free.

Our Vanilla Rooibos tea is also a rich source of antioxidants, which may assist with lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart disease. All our rooibos is organic and completely free from pesticides and other chemicals.

Alternatives to this South African loose leaf tea

Region

Cape Town, South Africa

The Western Cape, stretching from the Cape of Good Hope northwards and eastwards, is South Africa's southernmost province, marked by a diverse 900km coastline along both the Atlantic and Southern Indian Oceans. Its topography is exceptionally varied, featuring semiarid plateaus, rocky escarpments, andspectacular sandy beaches and rocky capes. The climate across this expansive area varies significantly, with coastal zones experiencing a temperate oceanic climate, while inland regions deal with semi-arid to cold desert conditions.

Rooibos tea, renowned worldwide, originates from Cederberg, a mountainous area 300km north of Cape Town. This region, with elevations ranging from 800m to over 1,800m, embraces a hot, semi-arid climate, characterized by intensely hot summers and mild to cool winters, receiving minimal rainfall and predominantly clear skies. The challenging terrain and climate restrict the extent of arable land, limiting agricultural output primarily to Rooibos tea, which thrives under these conditions. In addition to Rooibos, the area produces fruit, tobacco, wine, and proteas. The diverse wildlife includes leopards, caracals, meerkats,mongooses, antelopes, zebras, and a variety of birds, mammals, reptiles, and insects, adding to the region’s rich biodiversity and enhancing its ecological value.
