Apple Cider Rooibos Herbal Tea - Loose Leaf

Autumn comfort in a candlelit cup.

Capture the nostalgic warmth of simmered orchard cider on a crisp evening. Our Apple Cider Rooibos pairs sweet, mineral-rich South African red bush tea with crushed cinnamon bark, fragrant cloves, dried citrus peel, and crisp orchard apple notes. Naturally caffeine-free and deeply grounding, this blend delivers the rich, spiced indulgence of hot mulled cider without added sugars or artificial heaviness.

Whether you are unwinding after dark or seeking an afternoon reset, this is fireside comfort poured to order.

Cup Notes & Flavor Profile

• Aroma: Freshly pressed orchard cider, sweet cracked cinnamon bark, and warm clove.
• Palate: Crisp baked apple sweetness layered over earthy, honeyed red rooibos and zesty orange warmth.
• Finish: Smooth, mellow, and lingering with zero astringency or mouth-drying tannins.

The Fireside Steeping Ritual

Rooibos is uniquely forgiving: because it is naturally low in tannins, it never turns bitter, even on an extended steep.

• Water Temperature: 208°F (bring fresh water to a rolling boil).
• Portion: 1.5 to 2 teaspoons of loose leaf blend per 8 oz of water.
• Steep Time: 5 to 7 minutes in a covered mug or infuser. (Leave it longer if you prefer a deeper, more robust spice profile).
• Serving Ritual: Exceptional on its own. For a decadent evening treat, stir in a touch of raw wildflower honey or maple syrup, or brew a concentrated cup and pour over ice for a spiced harvest cooler.
