LCurator note · Dragonfly
A genuinely clever idea, well executed: bright Mediterranean bergamot laid over organic rooibos instead of black tea, so Earl Grey lovers get the zesty citrus hit with no caffeine and no tannin. It will not fool you into thinking it is a black-tea Earl Grey, the rooibos brings a sweet, woody-vanilla base rather than a brisk tannic one, but that is the trade for being able to drink it last thing at night. Smooth, never bitter even over-steeped. The best caffeine-free route to an Earl Grey craving after dinner.

About this tea
Dragonfly Organic Earl Grey Rooibos, in brief.
Dragonfly Organic Earl Grey Rooibos is the Earl-Grey-style member of the Dragonfly organic rooibos range, the South African red bush leaf scented with natural bergamot oil and certified Soil Association organic, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the caffeine-free Earl Grey alternative for anyone who loves the bergamot but does not want the black-tea caffeine.
The rooibos provides the structural body, giving the cup its deep red-amber colour and the naturally sweet honey-malt character that defines red bush, while the bergamot oil sits on top as the lead flavour, that distinctive perfumed citrus that defines Earl Grey across all its versions. Dragonfly use proper organic-certified bergamot oil rather than a generic bergamot flavouring, and the resulting cup reads recognisably as Earl Grey to anyone who already drinks the black-tea original, but with the rooibos body underneath rather than Ceylon or Assam.
A forty-bag Dragonfly household pack at an accessible price for the organic-certified tier, the only caffeine-free Earl Grey worth drinking and a sensible step-across for anyone moving away from black tea but unwilling to give up the perfumed Earl Grey character entirely, the kind of cup you can sip late in the evening when a proper Earl Grey would keep you awake.
Dragonfly Organic Earl Grey Rooibos exists as a functional upgrade for the tea drinker who loves the sophisticated flavour of earl grey but wants to avoid the caffeine spike of black tea. By replacing the traditional Camellia sinensis base with organic South African rooibos, this blend maintains the beloved zesty bergamot profile while offering a naturally sweet, hydrating foundation.
It is the perfect choice for the individual who values a comforting evening ritual in 2026, offering a warm amber liquor that soothes the senses. This premium rooibos infusion is the quintessential companion for relaxing after dinner or for enjoying a lighter tannin free version of a British classic to maintain a productive and healthy lifestyle.

The story behind Dragonfly
Dragonfly comes from the Ginsberg family: Bruce Ginsberg introduced rooibos to British tea drinkers in 1976, and his grandfather Benjamin was the first to pack it as a tea. Specialising in single-ingredient and simple herbal blends with organic certification, they focus on quality botanicals over flashy positioning. Their Rooibos and Pure Peppermint are British retail benchmarks.

Side by side
How does it compare
vs Tick Tock RooibosDragonfly Organic Earl Grey Rooibos, 40 Tea Bags 100g offers a more distinct flavour profile and competitive pricing versus the mass market alternative; the difference is most noticeable in the second half of the cup when Tick Tock Rooibos starts to thin out.
vs Clipper Organic RedbushWhere Clipper Organic Redbush leans into a single dominant note, Dragonfly Organic Earl Grey Rooibos, 40 Tea Bags 100g delivers a more balanced and aromatic experience designed for daily drinking rather than as an occasional treat.
vs Pukka RooibosBoth occupy a similar price band and shelf position, but Dragonfly Organic Earl Grey Rooibos, 40 Tea Bags 100g differentiates through its certified sourcing, ethical packaging and the Dragonfly brand heritage outlined above.
