Rooibos Vanille

Rooibos…or Red Tea
Discover our full range of indulgent and fruity rooibos infusions.

But do you actually know what rooibos is? It’s often mistakenly called “red tea” — and you’ll quickly understand why!

Rooibos is a small shrub, about 1 meter tall, that grows exclusively in South Africa, in the Cederberg region. It is also the country’s national drink. “Rooibos” means “reddish bush” in Afrikaans — and for good reason: its leaves are naturally red!

In France, calling rooibos “red tea” is actually incorrect, because it simply isn’t tea.
Rooibos contains neither theine nor caffeine, so it can be enjoyed at any time of day, especially in the evening.

Traditionally, rooibos is made by fermenting the leaves, which gives it its characteristic reddish-brown color. If the leaves are not fermented, the infusion has a greener appearance, similar to green tea — this is known as green rooibos.

The perfect blend of rooibos and vanilla
Rooibos also differs from tea in its flavor, which is more herbal and plant-like. Its naturally smooth taste is widely appreciated. Combined with the comforting sweetness of vanilla, this indulgent and fragrant infusion offers a truly delightful moment.
