Rooibos, also called Red Bush, is a herbal tea from South Africa. Naturally caffeine-free and low in tannins this tea is known for its rich, nutty flavour with notes of vanilla.


This flavoured Rooibos gives an exciting, caffeine-free twist to one of the most classic and beloved tea blends.

Earl Grey is known the world over as a refreshing and sophisticated afternoon treat. The instantly recognisable Earl Grey flavour comes from the oils of the bergamot citrus fruit. Traditionally this is used to delicately scent strong, astringent black teas, producing an exceptionally crisp and clean cuppa. This blend, however, pairs the fresh bergamot notes with the naturally sweet and earthy tones of Rooibos.

An unorthodox combination, for sure, but perhaps not as far removed as you may think. In an interesting turn of fate, the rooibos for this particular blend has been grown in a town called Howick, named after Howick Hall, the ancestral seat of the Earls Grey. This was to honour Henry George Grey, the 3rd Earl of Grey, also known as British Colonial Secretary Viscount Howick. Son of Charles Grey, the 2nd Earl Grey after whom the tea is named. A very fitting coincidence, bringing a small touch of authenticity to this wonderful twist on a classic.

Pronounced roy-boss, this herbal tea is proudly produced in South Africa and is renowned for its deep red colour, smooth taste and abundance of antioxidants. A truly comforting tea with nutty, vanilla overtones and brimming with goodness.

Simpli-Special Serving Suggestions

Some people enjoy this tea with a little milk or coconut milk, although rooibos is also delicious without.

Great with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a bit of sugar, or try it with a little honey.

Try creating your own variations of Earl Grey on our rooibos base. Lavender is always a great one for Earl Grey - just use it sparingly - a little of our lavender flowers will go a long way. This makes a truly relaxing and caffeine-free version of the classic.

Try brewing the mix for a second time. You may be able to get 2-4 good brews out of one serving, depending on brew times. The bergamot flavour fades first, but the rooibos base still gives out a good flavour of it's own, changing the taste from one brew to the next!

The longer you brew it, the stronger the rooibos flavour in this blend will get. Try a long brew, say 10 minutes, vs a short brew to see how you like it best.

Also delicious iced, and cold-brewed.

Iced Tea
Make as for hot, but add extra tea - double the amount of tea per cup is recommended.
When the tea has cooled a little, pour over ice and then serve.

Cold Brew
For a smoother taste experience.
Place the tea in a jug and add cold water.
Leave to infuse for a few hours (or overnight in the fridge).
Strain and enjoy.

Great taste and perfect tea for an early evening Verified Purchase

Lucie vybihalova | Bromley | January 2025

Incredible aroma with incredible flavour.

I thought Rooibos was tasty enough, but combination with the Bergamot is absolutely amazing, just about to order some more.

Fully recommend.
