About Honey Rooibos

A cup of pure, liquid gold from the mountains of South Africa. Our Honey Rooibos is a perfect marriage of two naturally sweet, caffeine-free botanicals. The blend starts with organic Rooibos, known for its smooth, earthy, and vanilla-like character. We then pair it with its cousin, organic Honeybush, which contributes a distinct, honey-like sweetness and aroma.

The result is a wonderfully rich, full-bodied, and comforting red herbal tea that needs no added sugar. It’s a soothing and satisfying brew, perfect for a cozy evening, a gentle morning start, or any time you crave a naturally sweet treat.

Why You'll Love It

Nature's Sweetener: This blend is a perfect pairing of two of South Africa's sweetest botanicals. Honeybush gets its name from its flowers' honey-like scent, and its flavor lives up to the name. Together with the vanilla notes of Rooibos, it creates a tea that is deliciously sweet without any sugar.

A Taste of the Cederberg: Both Rooibos and Honeybush grow only in the Cederberg, a small mountainous region of South Africa. This unique terroir gives them their signature flavor and makes them a beloved, caffeine-free national beverage, cherished for its soothing, comforting qualities.

Your Questions About Honey Rooibos, Answered.

What is the difference between Rooibos and Honeybush?

They are botanical "cousins" from the same region in South Africa. Rooibos (or "red bush") has a smoother, richer flavor with notes of vanilla. Honeybush has a distinctly sweeter, more honey-like taste and aroma. Blending them creates a perfectly balanced cup.

Is this tea actually related to "tea"?

No, Rooibos and Honeybush are not related to the traditional tea plant (Camellia sinensis). They are unique herbal infusions that are naturally caffeine-free.

Why can this tea be steeped for a long time?

Unlike traditional tea, Rooibos and Honeybush are very low in tannins. This means they won't become bitter or astringent, even if you steep them for a long time. A longer steep simply results in a richer, deeper flavor.

FAQs Simply Answered

Are YBTCO’s Teas Truly Organic?

Yes, every ingredient we source is certified USDA Organic. Our commitment is to craft our blends using only teas and botanicals from growers whose agricultural practices steward a better tomorrow.

While Yerba Buena Tea Co. as a company has not yet completed its own formal USDA Organic certification, our standards for purity and sustainability are unwavering. When you sip our tea, you’re tasting a commitment to clean soil, fresh air, and the honest labor of growers who share our belief that tea should be as good for the earth as it is for your cup. You can taste this commitment in our Connoisseur Collection.

Where Are Your Teas Blended and Packaged?

Every YBTCO tea is hand-blended in small batches in our dedicated tea kitchen located in beautiful Salem, Oregon.

Our process is slow by design. Blending in small lots allows us to ensure every pouch delivers maximum freshness, flavor, and the just-picked aroma that makes our teas special. It's a level of craftsmanship you can taste in every cup, especially in our Connoisseur Collection. We package each order with care so you can enjoy a touch of the Pacific Northwest, wherever you are.

Do Your Teas Contain Allergens or Gluten?

Your safety and enjoyment matter deeply to us. All YBTCO teas are naturally gluten-free and blended in a dedicated facility that does not process tree nuts (except coconut), wheat, barley, or rye.

The only common allergen you’ll find in our collection is coconut, which we use in select blends like our Maven Blend for its creamy, tropical note. We use no added flavorings, colorings, or artificial ingredients, just whole leaves, spices, and botanicals as nature intended.

If you have specific questions or sensitivities, our team is always happy to help you find the perfect tea with peace of mind. Please feel free to contact us.

What Is Your Tea Refill?

We believe good tea, and good habits, should be sustainable. That’s why YBTCO offers our teas in two forms to reduce waste and keep your tea fresh:

  • Start with a Signature Tin: Our beautiful, reusable, and recyclable tins are perfect for keeping your tea fresh on the shelf. They also make a wonderful present, which is why they are featured in our Gifts for Tea Lovers Collection.

  • Restock with a Refill Bag: When you're running low, simply order a refill bag to top up your tin. Our refill bags use minimal packaging and ensure you always have the freshest possible tea on hand.

This practice means less environmental impact and a ritual that feels good every time you open the lid.

What Is Your Shipping Policy?

We strive to get your tea to you as quickly and efficiently as possible so you can start enjoying it. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Processing Time: All orders are hand-packed with care and typically ship from our Salem, Oregon tea kitchen within 2 - 3 business days.
  • Shipping Methods: We ship via USPS and UPS. You will be able to select your preferred carrier and shipping speed during checkout.
  • Shipping Costs: Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on the weight of your order and your location. We offer free standard shipping on all orders over $70.
