Description
Botanical Name: Aspalathus linearis
Rooibos, often known locally as bush tea, is a distinctive herbal infusion native to South Africa. Made from the fermented leaves of the Aspalathus linearis shrub, it grows exclusively in the dry, sandy soils of the Western Cape, where it has been brewed for generations as a daily household tea.
Unlike traditional black or green tea, rooibos contains no caffeine and no bitterness. Its deep red infusion is smooth and rounded, with a naturally sweet character that requires little or no added sweetener. Traditionally enjoyed throughout the day, rooibos is commonly chosen by those seeking a gentle, nourishing cup that feels grounding and easy to drink.
Spice Zen’s Rooibos Tea is carefully sourced, quality checked and hand-packed in our 100% gluten-free Sydney facility. Packed fresh in our signature green botanical pouches, it offers a pure, unblended expression of this much-loved South African herbal tea.
