About Red Rooibos

A true gift from the mountains of South Africa, our organic Red Rooibos is a uniquely smooth and soothing herbal tea. Known as "red bush," this botanical is cherished worldwide for its rich, ruby-red infusion and its naturally sweet, earthy flavor. Unlike traditional teas, it is completely caffeine-free and low in tannins, making it a wonderfully gentle and comforting cup.

The flavor is a delightful harmony of rich earth, sweet honey, and smooth vanilla notes, with a clean and satisfying finish. It’s the perfect, versatile brew for a cozy evening, a gentle morning start, or any time you crave a delicious, hydrating, and calming treat.

  • Organic Red Rooibos
Tasting Notes

Aroma: A warm, sweet scent of vanilla and honey.

Flavor: Full-bodied and exceptionally smooth, with a rich, earthy character and distinct notes of vanilla and sweet stone fruit.

Why You'll Love It

A Taste of the Cederberg: Rooibos is a truly unique plant that grows only in a small, mountainous region of South Africa called the Cederberg. This specific terroir gives it its signature flavor and makes it a beloved national beverage, cherished for its soothing qualities.

Naturally Gentle: Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free and very low in tannins (the compounds that can make black tea bitter). This means you can steep it for as long as you like without it ever becoming astringent, resulting in a consistently smooth, rich cup.

Is Rooibos related to black tea?

No, Rooibos (meaning "red bush") is a completely different plant from the traditional tea plant (Camellia sinensis). It is a unique herbal infusion from South Africa that is naturally caffeine-free. Explore our full Rooibos Collection.

Because Rooibos is very low in tannins, it won't become bitter or astringent like black or green tea, even with a very long infusion time. A longer steep creates a richer and 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.
