Rooibos Tea in Canada

Rooibos is an herbal infusion made from the leaves of the rooibos plant, which is native to South Africa. Although it's often called "rooibos tea," it isn't made from the tea plant (Camellia sinensis). Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free and enjoyed for its smooth, naturally sweet flavour.

Rooibos has a naturally smooth, mellow flavour with subtle sweet, earthy, and slightly nutty notes. Depending on the blend, it may also include ingredients that add fruity, floral, or spicy flavours. To learn more, read our guide: What Does Rooibos Tea Taste Like?

No. Pure rooibos is naturally caffeine-free because it isn't made from the tea plant. However, if a blend contains ingredients such as green tea or black tea, it may contain caffeine. Always check the product description for ingredient and caffeine information. You can also read our guide: Which Teas Have Caffeine?

Rooibos is typically brewed with freshly boiled water for 5 to 10 minutes. Because it doesn't become bitter as easily as traditional tea, it can also be steeped a little longer for a fuller flavour. Each Happy Fox product page includes recommended brewing instructions.
