Delight in a completely naturally caffeine-free cup of Earl Grey!
Rooibos Earl is our January Tisane of the Month bringing you an uplifting moment of peace and tranquility in your day.
This tisane is our herbal take on the classic Earl Grey tea. The steep is delicately fruity and tangy with a full-mouthed flavour and gently layered savoury sweetness. The Rooibos provides an earthy, almost woodsy foundation and a lightly sweet finish reminiscent of fresh vanilla. Bright citrus notes from both the bergamot and the orange peel uplift the steep. The crisp citrus zest compliments the Rooibos to pull a greater depth of flavour from the tisane base.
A classic Earl Grey tone is certainly present, but offered from a new perspective with an infusion that is a beautiful red-amber and can be enjoyed any time of day!

With a new year arrives a moment; to pause and re-evaluate what brings peace and joy to our everyday. It is no question when we reflect on ancient traditions and tea cultures, that tea has the ability to nurture a meditative, relaxed, and clear mental state. This can be related to the connective act of sharing tea with others, slowing down to the present moment to savour each sip or witnessing the tea leaves unfold and dance as they steep. However, there is also scientific evidence relating the consumption of tea to this alpha-brainwave activity.
Surprising to most, there is one unique amino acid found in the tea plant, (which is the only known plant to contain this amino acid), that not only helps to positively impact mood, health and energy levels, but can also greatly reduce stress and anxiety while regulating the effects of caffeine on the body.
L-Theanine is found in all the different types of true tea (camellia sinensis), and is the constituent responsible for soothing and calming.
Working in harmony, caffeine + L-theanine create a gently sustained state of wakeful tranquility and relaxed alertness.
