What is rooibos
Rooibos, also called Aspalathus linearis, is native to the Cederberg mountains in South Africa. This plant produces a reddish infusion and is prized for its total lack of caffeine (theine), making it a stimulant-free alternative to classic tea. The Rooibos manufacturing process begins with the plucking of the leaves, followed by oxidation (often incorrectly called fermentation) and sun-drying — this sequence gives the beverage its characteristic aroma and amber-red color.
Red rooibos or green rooibos
There is a less common variety, green Rooibos, which retains its natural hue and is not subjected to oxidation. Generally, Rooibos leaves undergo an oxidation that gives the beverage its characteristic red hue and develops its honeyed taste. Green Rooibos, unoxidized, is the result of a faster manufacturing process to block oxidation. Its distinct flavor profile, more herbaceous and malty, subtly distinguishes it from its red version, which is much rounder and more gourmand.
How to prepare your rooibos
Preparing rooibos is simple and fast. Being devoid of astringent tannins, it never becomes bitter, even if you forget it in the teapot.
- Water temperature: heat the water to 95-100°C. Rooibos perfectly tolerates boiling water.
- Quantity of rooibos: measure about 20g of rooibos for 1 liter of water (one heaping teaspoon per cup). Adjust according to your preference for a milder or stronger flavor.
- Steeping: pour the rooibos into a fine filter, a sock or a basket inside your teapot. Let steep for at least 5 to 7 minutes. The longer you let it steep, the more the round and red aromas will develop.
- Tasting: serve hot. Rooibos is also delicious consumed cold or as iced tea.
When to drink rooibos
Rooibos, a caffeine-free infusion, can be enjoyed at any time of the day, without any restriction.
- Morning: start your day gently with a cup of rooibos, ideal for those avoiding caffeine.
- Afternoon: when you need a comforting and hydrating break.
- Evening: rooibos is particularly recommended at the end of the day and in the evening, thanks to its total lack of caffeine. It will not disturb your sleep.
Rooibos is suitable for the whole family, including children and pregnant women. It can be consumed hot in winter and well chilled in summer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does rooibos contain caffeine (theine)?

What is the difference between red rooibos and green rooibos?
The red one is oxidized in the sun (amber color, red fruit and honey notes); the green one is not oxidized and keeps a more herbaceous profile, closer to green tea.
Can it be drunk in the evening?
Yes, it is even highly recommended. Its total lack of caffeine and its sweetness make it a perfect evening infusion for the whole family.
Where does rooibos come from?
Exclusively from the Cederberg mountains in South Africa — it is the only place in the world where this endemic plant (Aspalathus linearis) grows.
