Description
Bourbon Street Vanilla Rooibos
Bourbon Street Vanilla Rooibos captures the vibrant essence of one of America’s most iconic streets—Bourbon Street in New Orleans’ French Quarter. This lively thoroughfare is filled with exotic imagery, from the enchanting rhythms of jazz to the spirited celebrations of Mardi Gras. If you want a taste of this magic, pick up A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole for a hilarious glimpse into life in the French Quarter.
During a visit to New Orleans, a Master Taster found inspiration for this unique blend. One evening, while exploring the charming shops, he caught a captivating aroma of toasty vanilla drifting through an alleyway. Drawn by the hypnotic scent, he discovered its source: a small voodoo shrine, rich with cultural history. Intrigued, he sought to blend this enchanting aroma with caffeine-free South African Rooibos, honouring the roots of the voodoo culture he encountered.
The result is Bourbon Street Vanilla Rooibos—an exceptionally smooth herbal tea that combines the mellow, earthy tones of Rooibos with the subtle sweetness of fresh vanilla. Each sip transports you to the vibrant streets of New Orleans, inviting you to savor the city’s unique mystique.

HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Add milk & sugar to taste. Ideal Brewing Temperature: 100ºC/212ºF.
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose rooibos into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the rooibos. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the brewed rooibos into your serving pitcher, straining the rooibos or removing the bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced rooibos is to increase the strength of the hot rooibos brew since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.
(Individual Serving): Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose rooibos into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the rooibos. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot rooibos herbal tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the rooibos or removing the bags. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. Sweeten and/or add lemon to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced rooibos is to increase the strength of hot rooibos since it will be poured over ice and diluted.
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today’s water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
