Our rooibos tea

Rooibos and Redbush

The fruity herbal tea Rooibos is cultivated exclusively in the South African province of Western Cape. The tea leaves are obtained from the branches of the Rooibos bush, which is why both terms - Rooibos in Afrikaans and Redbush – are correct. Rooibos delights tea drinkers with its unusual sweet, fruity flavour and reddish colour in the cup. Actually, Rooibos tea needs no sugar, but South Africans still like to drink it sweetened, with milk or lemon.

What makes Rooibos tea so special is its versatility. You can mix many other ingredients with the rooibos leaves to create new and unusual flavours . At Schmidt, we specialise in wintery varieties to match our exquisite gingerbread:

In "Winter Magic," rooibos leaves combine with apple, cinnamon and marzipan to create a delightful winter poem. The "Snowflake" has a creamy caramel flavour and tastes simply great even after Christmas, with or without a little sweet accompaniment from the Schmidt range.

The great thing about Rooibos is that even children can enjoy the tea, as it contains no caffeine! Buy your rooibos tea online or in one of our branches: in the run up to Christmas!
