Rooibos tea
Wilderness with Rooibos tea.
This is where we get our organic Rooibos tea.
Rooibos tea is for those who enjoy exotic flavours in tea – while also appreciating a drink that nourishes both body and mind. Rooibos comes from the Rooibos plant, which resembles a small conifer. These plants grow in a small mountain range north of Cape Town in South Africa. Rooibos tea is particularly known for its rich content of antioxidants, vitamin C, iron, and potassium.

What is rooibos tea?
Rooibos tea can also be described as an herbal tea. Strictly speaking, it is not a “real” tea, as it is not made from the leaves of the Camellia Sinensis plant – like green or black tea. Despite this, it is commonly referred to as “red tea.”
Rooibos tea is produced by first picking, sorting, and then drying the needles. If green Rooibos is desired, the needles undergo a heat treatment to prevent oxidation. The taste of green Rooibos is therefore lighter and more herbaceous. If red Rooibos is preferred, the needles are left to oxidize in a process similar to black tea. Afterwards, the Rooibos needles are exposed to solar heat, which causes the enzymes to break down completely, giving the tea its characteristic reddish-brown colour.
Rooibos tea has a naturally sweet taste with slightly spicy notes. It is also often blended with additional flavours. At Nordic Tea, for example, you can find Rooibos teas with vanilla, mango, liquorice, lemon, pomegranate, quince, and much more.
