Organic Rooibos Digestion — Herbal Tea in a Gift Tin
Organic Rooibos Digestion is a carefully composed herbal blend made with certified organic ingredients, combining the soft, sweet character of rooibos with classic digestive herbs: star anise, liquorice, lemongrass, peppermint and chamomile. Every ingredient has a long heritage in European and South African herbal tradition.
What makes organic rooibos different?
Organic rooibos is grown without chemical pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. This is not only a more environmentally conscious choice but also shines through in the clean, rounded character of the tea — rooibos's natural sweetness remains pure, with no off-notes. Fermentation of the South African shrub (a natural ageing process that transforms the leaves from green to reddish-brown) takes place under strictly controlled organic conditions.
The herbal components
Star anise (Illicium verum) offers sweet, licorice-like aromas and is traditionally used to support digestion and the airways. Liquorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) adds natural sweetness and a velvety texture. Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) brings a fresh, citrus lift that refreshingly balances the blend. Peppermint (Mentha piperita) contributes cooling brightness, while chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) provides a soft, floral, calming finish.
Flavour and aroma profile
The aroma is sweet and anise-forward, lightly minty with a soft chamomile background. The first sip opens with rooibos's velvety warmth, lifted by star anise and liquorice's sweet-spicy character. Through the middle, mint's cooling freshness and lemongrass's citrus note enliven the cup, while chamomile provides a soft, subtly sweet floral close. Naturally sweet, so it delivers a full experience without added sugar.
Who is it for?
Ideal for those who: prefer organic-quality herbal blends; have sensitive stomachs and avoid caffeine; enjoy a gentle cup after meals; seek a calming evening ritual; use chamomile traditionally as part of winding down before sleep; or want to reduce added sugar in drinks — the blend's natural sweetness (from rooibos and liquorice) helps with this.
How to brew it
Use 2–3 grams per 200 ml of water at 95 °C, steeped for 4–5 minutes. Rooibos and herbs don't turn bitter from over-steeping, so 7–10 minutes is fine if you want a stronger cup. Lovely on its own, or with a slice of lemon or a spoon of honey. For an evening ritual, try with warm oat milk — a silky, nourishing, caffeine-free drink.
Protecting organic quality — premium tin
The 50-gram airtight metal tin (6.5 × 6.5 × 7 cm) protects the organic ingredients from light, moisture and outside odours. With organic teas, proper storage is especially important to preserve their clean character.
Tips
Drink 10–15 minutes after meals to help relieve feelings of fullness. It's also excellent 30 minutes before bed as a calming ritual — chamomile and peppermint gently support winding down. Prepared cold in a jug, it's a refreshing summer drink, especially with a slice of lemon and mint.
