Tick Tock
Tick Tock is a rooibos specialist, not a tea company with a rooibos on the side. We stock its Original Rooibos in 40 and 80 bag cartons and the Organic Green Rooibos, hand-harvested in the Cederberg mountains of South Africa. It is the evening cup for anyone who drinks builder's tea all day and wants the same habit after dinner, without the caffeine.

About Tick Tock
Tick Tock is an independent, family-owned rooibos company. The family traces its rooibos story to Benjamin Ginsberg, who first perfected the brew in South Africa in 1903, and the brand says it was the first to introduce rooibos to the British market, in 1976. It is now headed by Bruce Ginsberg and his daughter Georgia, the fourth generation. Its rooibos comes from the Cederberg mountains north of Cape Town, where it is harvested by hand and cured in the traditional way.
Tick Tock is the evening cup for someone who drinks builder's tea all day and wants the same ritual after dinner without caffeine. The Original can be taken with or without milk, has a deep colour and full taste, and sits well with a shortbread finger or a plain oat biscuit. It also works iced with lemon. The Organic Green Rooibos is light and delicate, and the brand says it has no bitterness, so choose it if you find ordinary green tea too sharp.

Use fresh, just-boiled water for black teas (around 100°C) and slightly cooler water (75 to 85°C) for green and white teas, steeping 2 to 4 minutes to taste. See the teas.co.uk brewing calculator for the ideal temperature and time for each tea.
