A delicious pairing of vanilla and almond against a delicate Rooibos backdrop, for a warm and sophisticated blend.
Sprinkled with pieces of vanilla pods, this naturally caffeine-free tea may be enjoyed at any time of the day or evening.
Did you know? Literally, Rooibos means “red tea” in South African. Contrary to general belief and its nickname, Rooibos is not a tea, is it a bush. Its plant has the appearance of a small bush and in the spring it is covered with small yellow flowers. Rooibos gives a completely naturally caffeine-free infusion, which is why it is so great for the evening!
Enjoyed as an infusion by the people of South Africa for the last 300 years, Rooibos has been cultivated and marketed since the 1930’s. Today it is the national drink of South Africa.
It is grown in the Cedarburg mountain of South Africa (125 miles north of Cape Town) at 1500-2000 ft. elevation. Its botanical name is Aspalanthus linearis. There are two varieties of Rooibos: “green” rooibos which is simply dried in the sun, and the more popular “red tea” that goes through an oxidation process which gives the plant its characteristic slightly sweet taste and red color.
There are different grades of rooibos, but not much difference between them. However, the one called “long cut” offers the most interesting experience in terms of fine flavors and powerful aromas. It is the most harmonious and it is the only grade Palais des Thés buys.
Suggestion of preparation
To prepare latte rooibos:
Steep 0.3 oz (8g) of tea in 1 cup of hot milk and 1 cup of 200°F (95°C) water for 5 minutes.

Pungent and true vanilla flavor is really great in the evening. I have this tea daily and plan to refill.

It was a first time try, and it was delicious. A new tea we will be ordering some time in the future.

I enjoy the unique almond-vanilla flavor of this tea. The almond flavor is more prominent than the vanilla but I have grown to like it. Recently, I tried the Rooibos with vanilla and cocoa pods. I absolutely love it! The tea has a comforting and subtle chocolate flavor that pairs perfectly with milk and a bit of sugar. I make a small pot every morning. I’m eager to try Rooibos of the Lords. But I finally found my absolute favorite Rooibos with Melange Du Cap. I have tried many different variations of Rooibos teas but I will be keeping that one in my cupboard. Delicious!

Love this tea. First had it at the plaza hotel in NYC and had to chase it down in Paris and import to Canada. Worth every penny
