Shop Delicious and Organic Rooibos Tea - Tea Lovers

Rooibos tea is one of the most popularly consumed beverages in South Africa. Rooibos tea is indigenous to South Africa, produced from the Aspalathus linearis plant, grown in a mountainous region north of Cape York which receives significant rainfall periods. Rooibos tea has many wonderful and unique health benefits - As well as being naturally caffeine free, it is packed full of powerful antioxidants such as aspalathin and quercetin, associating it with cancer fighting benefits, as well as heart health and bone health benefits. Rooibos tea is also said to be high in vitamins and minerals such as calcium, manganese, magnesium and iron – giving it great relaxation properties and its reputation as the herbal ‘relaxation tea’.

Rooibos tea is made by fermenting leaves from the shrub ‘Aspalathus linearis’ – During the fermentation process the leaves turn a red-brown colour. You can also source green rooibos tea, a non fermented variety, which has a grassier flavour and tends to be a more expensive product. Unflavoured rooibos tea has a unique woody earthy sweetness and is well enjoyed as a black tea alternative - commonly served with milk and sugar.

Tea lovers Australia sells a wide range of delicious Rooibos Tea. Tea Lovers sells high grade Organic Rooibos Tea (unflavoured) as well as many delicious flavoured Rooibos Tea varieties. Tea Lovers popular flavoured Rooibos tea includes; Rooibos Blueberry Cheesecake, Rooibos Strawberries & Cream, Rooibos Chocolate & Truffle, Rooibos Orange Spiced Chai, Rooibos Dragonfruit & Ginger, Rooibos Chai, Rooibos Cream (caramel & vanilla) and many more delicious flavours to choose from. 

Similarly to most herbal teas, rooibos tea should be brewed at 95°C (just off the boil) for 1-3 mins depending on desired strength.


It is always best to brew rooibos tea with a fine micro mesh infuser, as its leaves are small and can seep through infusers with larger brewing holes.  1 heaped tsp of loose rooibos tea per 250ml of water is a general brewing guide. Rooibos tea can be served with or without milk, sweetened with honey or sugar, and dressed with lemon – to suit your desired taste. Unflavoured rooibos tea can also be served chilled over ice, sweetened with sugar if desired and dressed with mint and fresh lemon slices.

Tea Lovers also sell some great flavoured rooibos varieties that make for excellent herbal iced teas – Flavours such as; Rooibos Raspberry, Rooibos Blueberry Cheesecake, Rooibos Lemon, Rooibos Mango and Rooibos Strawberries & Cream. Because these rooibos blends are already naturally flavoured with dried fruits, vanilla and fruit essences – there is no need to add extra sweeteners, just serve chilled over ice with fresh cut fruits.
