Rooïbos Fruits & Fleurs du Soleil

What is the Rooibos Fruits & Fleurs du Soleil made of? 

Discover our whole range of fruity and gourmet rooibos. 

Rooibos is a small shrub, the Aspalathus Linearis, which grows only in South Africa in the Cederberg reserve. In this country, this drink is considered the national drink! "Rooibos" means "reddish drink" in Afrikaans, simply because the leaves of rooibos are red.  

Rooibos is not a tea, tea is only made from the Camellia Sinensis plant. Thus, rooibos does not contain any theine or caffeine, so you can consume it at any time of the day, especially in the evening. 

Traditionally, rooibos infusion has a red-brown color created by the fermentation of the leaves. If the leaves are not fermented then the rooibos will have a color rather similar to green tea, this is called green rooibos. 

Our Rooibos Fruits & Fleurs du Soleil is a tasty rooibos, flavoured with strawberry, vanilla and grapefruit, sprinkled with sunflower and cornflower petals (these flowers are decorative elements that do not add taste to the blend...).
