Spiced orchard sweetness and South African red bush herbs. Warm, comforting, and 100% caffeine-free.
Reminiscent of simmering spiced apple cider on a crisp autumn afternoon, our Apple Cider Rooibos brings warming comfort to your evening tea ritual. Sourced from the Cederberg mountain region of South Africa, organic needle-cut Red Rooibos provides a naturally sweet, mineral-rich, and earthy foundation. We blend it with dried honeycrisp apple pieces, Ceylon cinnamon bark, aromatic clove, and warm orange peel. It brews into a deep amber-red cup with zero bitterness, zero caffeine, and zero sleep disruption.

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 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 water at 200°F–212°F for herbal fruit and rooibos blends. Herbal blends benefit from hotter 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: This blend 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 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.
