★ ★ ★ ★ ★
"The flavor of this tea is so wonderful. I love that it’s caffeine free. I was looking for a tea to replace my black tea that was caffeine free and low acidic.
Rooibos Rocks fits the bill.
I add plant milk and it’s so good! The shipping was great too. And the packaging is so beautiful. 🦓❤️🦓 "

FAQ
-
What is Rooibos?
Rooibos is a shrub that only grows in the Cederberg Mountain region of South Africa’s Western Cape. It has needle-like green leaves. Once harvested these spines undergo an oxidisation process which creates the reddish brown coloring and distinctive flavor. The correct botanical name is Aspalathus linearis. However, as that is a bit of a mouthful, and many struggle with the correct pronunciation of Rooibos, it is popularly referred to as “redbush” or “African red tea”.

-
Is Rooibos a tea?
True tea is prepared from the cured leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. Rooibos is not a true tea, but a member of the legume family. When you brew Rooibos the result is, strictly speaking, a herbal infusion (known as a tisane). This matters if you are a tea aficionado - but as far as most people are concerned it is Rooibos tea.
-
Why is Rooibos Tea red?
The vibrant reddish amber color of Rooibos develops naturally during the post-harvest oxidation process. This is often referred to as “fermentation” but this term is slightly misleading. It does not involve microbes like the fermentation of alcoholic beverages - it is caused by an enzyme called polyphenoloxidase.
-
Where does Rooibos tea come from?
Rooibos is unique and rare. It grows wild in the Cederberg Mountains a couple of hours north of Cape Town – and nowhere else. The hot and dry summers, winter rainfall and coarse sandy soil are ideally suited to the Rooibos plant.
The indigenous people have used it to brew tea for as long as anyone can remember. In more recent times local farmers attempted to cultivate it as a crop. This proved exceedingly difficult but they eventually succeeded. This combination of distinctive ecosystem and specialist knowledge means that all the Rooibos in the world comes from one tiny community in South Africa’s Western Cape.
-
How do you pronounce Rooibos?
“Roy-Boss”. Easy!

-
Is Rooibos a pure and natural product?
Yes, totally. It contains no colourants, additives or preservatives.
-
Does Rooibos have any calorific or kilojoule value?
No. Despite its naturally sweet taste it’s totally sugar free and has no calories or kilojoules.
-
What is the best way to brew Rooibos?
It rather depends on your own personal preference. The standard method is to steep your loose tea or teabag in boiling water for 4-5 minutes. Leave it in the water for longer to create a stronger and more flavorful beverage. It is much lower in tannins that regular tea so a longer brewing will not produce any bitter aftertaste.
-
Can I re-steep Rooibos?
Yes, you can drink a cuppa and then add more water to the teabag (which you’ve left in your cup or pot) or put your strained leaves back into the pot then top it up with more boiling water. You can do this two or three times – it’s a cuppa that keeps on giving!
-
Do I need to add anything to my Rooibos?
This is a matter of personal taste. Rooibos is naturally sweet so you don’t need to add sugar. But some people do prefer to add sugar or maybe honey. Again, adding milk is a matter of personal preference.
-
Can I drink Rooibos as iced tea?
Yes, just brew as normal and then chill it. Or cold brew it (see below).
-
What is cold brewed Rooibos?
You just steep some tea bags or loose tea in a pitcher of cold water for about 12 hours in a refrigerator then enjoy as delicious iced Rooibos.
-
What is sun brewed Rooibos? (sun tea)
Same process as cold brewed but you leave the pitcher in the sun for a couple of hours, then chill or serve with ice.
-
What is Rooibos latte?
Basically it is Rooibos served with hot milk – a great bedtime treat as it’s caffeinefree. There are different variations you can try but basically you brew a couple tea bags or teaspoon of loose leaves in a small cup of water that’s just boiled. Let it steep until you have a strong concentrate.
You might (according to taste) add sugar, honey or maple syrup. Maybe add some cinnamon or vanilla essence. Add hot milk (you can froth it if you like) to your tea concentrate using a 1:1 ratio to ensure that the tea flavor stays strong.

-
What is Green Rooibos?
Green Rooibos comes from the same plant but is just processed in a different way. The oxidisation stage is missed out, so rather than turning redder and sweeter it retains its green color and grassy mineral-like flavor.
-
How does Rooibos support local communities?
Rooibos provides income and employment to more than 5000 people in the Cederberg region. The annual crop earns an estimated R500 million per year. Most Rooibos farms provide housing and schooling for the local people who work on the Rooibos farms.
What’s more, the industry as a whole pays 1.5% of the value of each year’s crop to the indigenous Khoi San people who used the plant for hundreds of years before it began to be cultivated on a large scale. This payment usually amounts to roughly $650,000 a year.
-
What does "Organic" Rooibos mean?
Organic Rooibos is grown without the use of any artificial fertilisers or pesticides. The organic status of the product is monitored by various international organizations that provide organic certification. Rooibos Rocks is certified organic and non-GMO by the US Department of Agriculture.
