Description

Also known as red bush tea, rooibos originates from South Africa. Its naturally sweet, nutty taste, combined with the flavour of apple, gives this infusion a rich, warming character that's perfect for slowing down at the end of the day.

Rooibos makes up more than three-quarters of the blend, so its smooth, honeyed character leads every cup.

Apple adds a gentle, mellow fruitiness that rounds out the flavour without overpowering it. The result is a comforting, amber-red infusion that tastes sweet without any added sugar.

Because rooibos is low in tannins, it stays smooth and never turns bitter, even if you leave the bag in a little longer. It's best drunk by itself, with no additions, so the natural sweetness of the rooibos and apple can shine.

Every tea bag is tagged and sealed in its own envelope, keeping it fresh and making it easy to take to work, pack for a trip or offer to guests.

Our story

What is rooibos?

Rooibos, pronounced "roy-boss", means "red bush" in Afrikaans. It comes from Aspalathus linearis, a shrub that grows in the Cederberg, a mountainous region of South Africa's Western Cape.

Not a tea
It isn't related to the tea plant at all, which is why rooibos is naturally free from caffeine.
Sun-dried
After harvesting, the needle-like leaves are cut, bruised and dried in the sun. This process turns them a rich red-brown and develops their sweet, nutty flavour. Rooibos is also naturally low in tannins, the compounds that can make black tea taste bitter when over-brewed.
Protected origin
Rooibos is so closely tied to its homeland that, since 2021, the name has been a protected designation of origin in the EU, meaning rooibos sold there must be grown in one of the designated areas of South Africa’s Western and Northern Cape.

At Brodies, our food and drink heritage stretches back to 1867. Explore our full tea and infusions range, or try another caffeine-free favourite, our Red Berry Crush.

Rooibos & Apple FAQs

Clear, simple answers to help you choose with confidence.

What is rooibos?

Also known as red bush tea, rooibos originates from South Africa and has a naturally sweet, nutty taste. It's made from the leaves of a shrub, not the tea plant.

How should I brew this infusion for the best flavour?

Pour freshly boiled water over one bag and infuse for 5 to 7 minutes, or longer for a stronger flavour. Cover your cup while it brews to keep the aroma in.

Are the tea bags individually wrapped?

Yes. Each box contains 20 tea bags that are individually tagged and enveloped to seal in freshness, aroma and flavour.

How should I serve it?

It's best drunk by itself, with no additions, so you can enjoy the natural sweetness of the rooibos and apple.

Can I add milk?

We think it's at its best on its own. Unlike hibiscus-based fruit teas, though, rooibos is low in acidity and won't curdle milk, so you can add a splash if you prefer.

Does this infusion contain caffeine?

No. It's naturally caffeine free, so it can be enjoyed at any time of day.

Why doesn't rooibos go bitter?

Rooibos is naturally low in tannins, so it stays smooth even if you leave the bag in for longer than usual.

Is it suitable for vegans?

The ingredients are plant-based, so this is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
