Warm apple, cinnamon, and spice — fall in a cup, any time of year.
Apple Cider Rooibos is the tea that tastes like a crisp autumn afternoon, and the best part is you don't have to wait for fall to enjoy it. Built on a Rooibos base — the celebrated South African Red Bush Tea known for its naturally sweet, earthy character and impressive health benefits — this blend elevates those great base flavors with cinnamon, orange peel, and natural spices that bring warm apple cider energy to every cup. The result is spicy, sweet, and deeply comforting, with a naturally caffeine-free profile that makes it perfect any time of day, including evenings when you want something cozy without the sleep disruption. Rooibos is also naturally low in tannins, which means none of the bitterness you get from black tea — just smooth, full-bodied warmth from start to finish. A standout for anyone who loves chai, apple cider, or warming spice blends, and a genuinely beautiful gift for the tea lover in your life.

Common Questions & Brew Notes
Are all of these herbal teas completely caffeine-free?
Yes — every herbal tea in this collection is 100% caffeine-free. Our Peach Paradise, Hibiscus Berry, and Mango Treat blends are made from pure fruit, flower, and herb ingredients with no tea leaves added. The Apple Cider Rooibos uses a rooibos base, which is naturally caffeine-free. These are perfect for evening sipping, caffeine-sensitive drinkers, or anyone who wants a flavorful, relaxing cup at any time of day.
How do I brew these herbal teas for the best flavor?
Use 1–1.5 teaspoons per 8 oz of fully boiled water (212°F) — unlike green or white teas, herbal blends benefit from boiling water to fully extract their fruit, flower, and spice flavors. Steep for 5–7 minutes for a full-bodied, flavorful cup. These teas are naturally sweet and delicious without any added sugar, but a touch of honey complements them beautifully. They're also exceptional iced — brew double strength and pour over ice for a vibrant cold drink.
Which herbal tea should I choose based on my mood or preference?
Each blend has its own personality: Peach Paradise is soft, sweet, and soothing — perfect for a relaxing afternoon or a bedtime ritual. Hibiscus Berry is bold, tart, and vibrant — great iced and loved by those who prefer a tangy, fruity punch. Apple Cider Rooibos is warming and spiced with a cozy autumn feel — ideal for cool evenings. Mango Treat is tropical, sweet, and uplifting — a sunny escape in a cup any time of year. Not sure? The Herbal Tea Sampler is a great way to try them all.
How should I store my herbal tea to keep it fresh?
Store your herbal tea in an airtight container away from direct sunlight, heat, and strong odors. Fruit-forward blends like Peach Paradise, Hibiscus Berry, and Mango Treat are especially sensitive to light and moisture, which can dull their vibrant color and flavor over time. Kept properly, your herbal teas will stay fresh and flavorful for up to 18 months. Always use a dry spoon when scooping to prevent moisture from entering the container.
