Discover the Magic of Rainbow Rooibos
Have you ever wanted to taste a rainbow? Our delightful Rainbow Rooibos tea invites you to explore a unique blend that enchants the senses. Inspired by the poem “Who Has Seen the Wind” by Christina Georgina Rossetti, we ponder how taste allows us to experience the world in a special way.
Flavor Profile
So, what does this tea truly taste like? Imagine a mellow, herbaceous Cederberg Rooibos blended with a medley of colourful fruits. A hint of Amaretto enhances the flavour journey, creating a simple yet profound experience. Visually, our tea features red thistle, cornflowers, and calendula, adding a vibrant look that mirrors the beauty of a rainbow.
A Caffeine-Free Choice
Not only is this tea delicious, but it’s also caffeine-free and packed with essential nutrients. A 200 ml (about 7 oz.) cup provides:
- Iron: For transporting oxygen in the blood.
- Potassium and Calcium: Crucial for strong bones and teeth.
- Copper and Zinc: Essential for healthy skin and growth.
- Magnesium and Fluoride: Important for dental health.
- Manganese and Sodium: Needed for fluid balance.
Enjoying the Experience
For a delightful experience, pair Rainbow Rooibos with light snacks, such as fruit tarts or cheese platters. The fruity notes complement the sweetness of desserts, making it a versatile choice for any occasion.

Indulge in a cup of this tea to savour the delightful flavours and health benefits it offers. Whether enjoyed hot or iced, it’s perfect for gatherings or quiet afternoons. Embrace the adventure of tasting a rainbow today!
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.
