Taste & Preparation

TASTING NOTES

- exceptionally smooth
- light malted nuttiness
- honeyed sweet tones
- clear, ruby-red colour

When brewed for longer, rooibos becomes full-bodied and rich – but never bitter – and you can smell the deeper woody notes rising from your cup or teapot. This taste experience is the number one reason people love rooibos (you have to try it to believe it!) and it comes naturally caffeine free: a delicious and healthy alternative to a standard brew.

HOW TO MAKE IT

Rooibos loves freshly drawn, piping hot water. We suggest 2-4 minutes brewing time, but go ahead with a longer steep for a stronger cup. Some fanatics of the full taste even use two teabags! Naturally low in tannin, rooibos remains sweetly smooth even if you leave the teabag in. No need for sugar, but feel free to adjust sweetness to your taste with a drop of honey or slice of lemon.

MILK IN YOUR ROOIBOS?

Weak or strong, milky or ‘red’, how you take your rooibos is wonderfully personal. Ruby-red and gently sweet, many Tick Tock lovers like theirs ‘pure’. Others delight in the comforting concoction of rooibos with a splash of milk, a great full-bodied and caffeine free alternative to a traditional brew. The best Tick Tock teas to enjoy this way are Original Rooibos, Earl Grey Rooibos, Vanilla Rooibos and Chai Relax.

WHEN TO TAKE IT

Rooibos is the ‘tea for anytime’. Healthy and natural, gentle and refreshing, it’s a perfect cup first thing, throughout the day and even before bed.

Unlike conventional black tea, drinking as much as you like won’t leave you over-stimulated or interfere with iron absorption. Experts say 4-6 cups of rooibos tea a day is optimal for antioxidant benefits. We say: even one cup is probably a good start!

ROOIBOS ON ICE

Iced tea is the best thing since, well, hot tea, and rooibos makes an incredible iced tea. Perfect for summertime, it’s quenching, caffeine and calorie free, and will last in the fridge happy as a penguin for up to three days. You can find our classic Tick Tock iced tea recipe here.
