It’s a full-bodied malty flavour that resounds most with people who enjoy a hearty black tea but are looking for a none caffeinated experience. Enjoy with or without milk. Try our Vanilla Rooibos for an extra special, organic vanilla infused rooibos.
*Please keep in mind tea leaf and herbal characteristics can vary from batch to batch, due to sourcing availability and season of the crop.
The Story
Roasted rooibos, also known as red tea or red bush tea, has an interesting story that is intertwined with the cultural and historical heritage of South Africa. The Khoisan people, indigenous to the area, discovered the herb's unique properties centuries ago. Traditionally, they would harvest and ferment the leaves to make a tea-like infusion. In the 18th century, European settlers and botanists in the region learned about rooibos from the local Khoisan communities. Initially, it gained popularity as a beverage among settlers as an alternative to traditional black tea, which was more expensive and harder to obtain. In the early 20th century, efforts were made to cultivate rooibos on a larger scale. Benjamin Ginsberg, a Russian immigrant, played a crucial role in promoting rooibos cultivation and commercialisation. The process of fermentation and drying was refined, leading to the development of the recognisable red-brown colour and distinctive flavour associated with rooibos. Roasted rooibos involves an additional step in the processing of the leaves. After fermentation, the leaves are roasted, imparting a rich, earthy flavour and deepening the color of the tea. This roasting process contributes to the unique profile of roasted rooibos, distinguishing it from traditional green rooibos or unroasted versions. Rooibos has become a symbol of South African culture and heritage. The industry provides economic opportunities for local communities, and the tea is celebrated globally for its distinctive qualities. Whether enjoyed on its own or blended with various herbs and spices, roasted rooibos continues to be a beloved beverage with a rich history and cultural significance.

Mastering the Art of Tea Brewing: Three Essential Triumphs
Water Temperature: Heating water to the correct temperature for the type of tea you're brewing ensures optimal flavour extraction without scalding the leaves. (Refer to product page)
Steeping Time: Allowing the tea leaves to steep for the appropriate duration ensures the right balance of flavours and avoids bitterness or a weak taste.
Proportion: Using the right amount of tea leaves relative to the amount of water ensures that the flavorus are neither too strong nor too weak, providing a well-balanced cup of tea.
Best Practices for Storing Tea
Store your tea in an airtight container in a cool, dark place away from moisture and odours. Avoid refrigeration to maintain freshness and flavour.
Our warehouse is located in South Nowra and pick-up can be arranged between 9 AM - 2:30 PM between Monday-Friday. Please call 1800 355 182 or email info@teajourneys.com.au to arrange prior to coming in.
How long does your tea stay fresh?
Short answer. It depends on the tea and how it is stored. To keep your teas fresh, always store them well-sealed in a cool, dry, and dark place and generally as a guideline we recommend consuming within 3 years of purchase.
How much caffeine is there in a cup of tea?
There are many things that affect the caffeine content of your cup of tea including water temperature and steeping time. However, can guarantee that our herbal teas are caffeine-free.
