A clever idea done well: bright Mediterranean bergamot over organic rooibos in place of black tea, so Earl Grey fans keep the zesty citrus but lose the caffeine and the 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.
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 is what we hand to Earl Grey fans who love the bergamot but would rather skip the caffeine a black tea base brings. Dragonfly swap the usual Camellia sinensis leaf for organic South African rooibos, so the zesty bergamot stays while the base underneath turns naturally sweet.
It is our evening pick for 2026: a warm amber cup with the bergamot rising off it before the first sip. This premium rooibos infusion is the one to sit with after dinner, or to reach for when you want a lighter, tannin free version of a British classic.
Curator notes: we wrote these Earl Grey Rooibos notes ourselves after brewing it at Dragonfly's suggested time and temperature, then checked them against the current carton and the brand's own spec sheet. Any UK order placed before 2pm, Monday to Friday, is dispatched the same day.

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.
