Organic Biodigest Rooibos – 50g

An organic rooibos blend from South Africa with star anise, licorice root, peppermint, chamomile, and lemongrass — a 50g naturally caffeine-free herbal tea designed for evening or after-meal drinking. What's in the Cup South African rooibos at 69% provides a mellow, naturally sweet base that's caffeine-free and gentle — easy to drink at any time of day without affecting sleep. Star anise and licorice root together bring a warm anise character — faintly sweet and slightly herbal, not sharp or candy-like at this proportion. Peppermint adds a clean, cooling finish that lifts the blend and prevents the licorice notes from becoming too heavy. Chamomile weaves in a soft, apple-like floral note that's subtle enough not to dominate but present enough to add roundness. Lemongrass adds a faint citrus brightness that keeps the blend feeling light despite the richer components. Blend and Tin Organic rooibos (69%), star anise, licorice root, peppermint, chamomile, lemongrass. Caffeine-free. The orange Mandala Leaves tin at 6.5 × 6.5 × 7 cm holds 50g — approximately 25 cups — and is sealed to preserve freshness. Net weight 60g. Brewing Steep 1–2 teaspoons in freshly boiled water for 4–5 minutes. Rooibos tolerates longer steeping without becoming bitter — unlike black or green tea — so it's forgiving if you lose track of time. Drink without milk or with a small splash; both work. Served warm as an evening wind-down drink or cooled over ice in summer. Rooibos and Digestive Blends Rooibos (meaning "red bush") grows exclusively in the Cederberg mountains of South Africa and has been drunk by the Khoisan people for centuries. It's naturally caffeine-free, low in tannins, and mildly sweet, which makes it a popular base for blends intended for evening or post-meal use. The spice profile here — anise, licorice, mint — draws on long European herbal traditions for after-dinner teas, translated into a South African base. Size and Details Tin: 6.5 × 6.5 × 7 cm. Contents: 50g. Store sealed away from moisture and strong odours. Rooibos keeps well for up to 2 years if stored correctly. Naturally caffeine-free — suitable for evening drinking and for those avoiding caffeine. Gift-Ready A good gift for tea drinkers who avoid caffeine, anyone who enjoys after-dinner herbal teas, or a household that already has black and green teas and wants something different for evenings. The orange tin is distinct and warm on a shelf. Common Questions Does rooibos taste like regular tea? Rooibos has a naturally sweeter, earthier character than black tea — it doesn't have the tannin sharpness of Assam or Ceylon, but it has body and warmth. People who find black tea too astringent often enjoy rooibos. Is this blend suitable for children? Rooibos is caffeine-free and gentle, and this blend uses food-grade herbs at moderate levels. The peppermint and anise flavours may not suit all children's tastes, but the tea is generally considered mild.
