Rooibos tea is naturally caffeine free because the plant itself contains no caffeine. Find out more about rooibos tea and caffeine.
Rooibos tea is smooth and gentle with a natural sweetness and slightly nutty taste. Find out more about what Rooibos tea tastes like in our blog post.
Rooibos grows in the ruggedly beautiful Cederberg coastal mountains of South Africa, a protected World Heritage site around 200km north of Cape Town. It flourishes in this area because of the unique combination of climate and the specific PH balance of the region’s well-drained, sandy soil -- all attempts to grow Rooibos beyond the magnificent Cederberg have failed.
While our teas are not yet certified by the Fairtrade Foundation, we do buy directly from farmers and trade fairly. We have built longstanding relationships with our suppliers, which allow us to find the most sustainable and fairly traded harvests year after year.
As a naturally caffeine free tea, Rooibos tea is a great drink to have before bedtime. Find out about rooibos tea and sleep in our blog post.

All Tick Tock teabags are fully plant-based and biodegradable, and most importantly, free from polypropylene and all other petrochemical plastics. Because they are fully biodegradable, you can put these teabags in your Food Waste bin for composting by your local council. These teabags were the result of months of research and testing, and as a small family company we are going to constantly work to improve our packaging further.
Rooibos is generally thought of as a good alternative to caffeinated teas during pregnancy, however we do suggest speaking to your GP or midwife if you have any concerns about drinking teas or herbal infusions during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
