LCurator note · Tetley
Rooibos has no caffeine and no tannin, so unlike black tea this will not turn bitter or stewed no matter how long the bag sits, which is exactly why it works as an evening cup. Tetley keep it to pure South African leaf and it leans properly sweet, more caramel and toasted nut than the flat earthiness of cheaper redbush, sweet enough to need nothing added. The easiest one to hand someone who is cutting caffeine but still wants a proper hot drink at night.

About this tea

Tetley Redbush Pure, in brief.

Caffeine status: naturally caffeine-free, nothing per cup, so it suits the evening or the last drink of the day without disturbing your wind-down. Taste profile: smooth and mellow, with a natural honeyed sweetness and soft woody-caramel notes, then a clean, refreshing finish and no bitterness at all. It is forgiving too: leave the bag sitting in the pot and it deepens and rounds out rather than turning sharp or tannic, which is what catches out cheaper rooibos.

Label notes
Ingredients & dietaryA pure redbush, the plant also known as rooibos, giving a naturally caffeine free cup with honeyed, woody caramel notes.
PackagingThe 100g redbush box may divide into parts for separate bins; check the pack and your council's guidance.

Curator notes: our redbush notes come from our own tasting, measured against the current 100g pack and the Tetley spec sheet rather than marketing copy. Redbush ordered before 2pm, Monday to Friday, is posted the same day to UK addresses. This page covers the redbush pairings, brewing temperatures and times, storage and freshness too.

Curator’s notes

Read the full write-up
Tetley Redbush Pure makes a fuller cup than thin or grassy herbals, a redbush that stands in for black tea, made from one hundred percent pure South African rooibos. Tetley's redbush bags keep that easy quality in a bold format for home, or for a satisfying cup in the evening. As Britain likes its tea, this South African redbush tea takes a little milk happily, or turns into a smooth redbush spritz served cold. A quiet evening in or a full day at work, the redbush in this 100g box keeps Tetley's quality going into 2026.

The Story Behind the Tetley Brand

Joseph and Edward Tetley started trading in Yorkshire in eighteen thirty seven; close to two centuries later, the firm behind this redbush is still a world leader in tea.
  • Innovation Pioneers: Tetley was first with tea bags in the UK, in nineteen fifty three, and its redbush now comes in plant based materials too.
  • Cedarberg Tradition: This specific blend honors the South African heritage of rooibos harvesting in the Western Cape region.
  • Master Blenders: Each redbush batch is checked at least seven times by Tetley experts who draw on over one hundred and eighty years of blending heritage.

Tetley Commitment To The Planet

Tetley took to sustainable tea early, and the environment is considered in every part of this redbush product.

Side by side

How does it compare

vs Tick Tock RooibosTetley provides a more consistent smooth finish and better value for everyday drinking while Tick Tock focuses exclusively on rooibos.
vs Clipper Organic RedbushTetley costs less and uses its well known round bags, shaped to let water flow through for a better infusion.
Brewing

Brewing the perfect cup

Water temperature100°C: rooibos takes a rolling boil without going bitter, unlike true tea.
MeasureOne bag to 250ml of just boiled water; redbush leaf is less concentrated than tea, so it gets a slightly bigger pour.
Steep5 to 7 minutes, or longer for a stronger cup, as redbush cannot be overbrewed.
ServiceBlack is cleanest; the South African farmhouse redbush has half a teaspoon of brown sugar stirred in, plus milk, just a little.
Iced versionBrew 3 bags of redbush strong, let it cool, then dilute it with cold water and add a slice of orange.
Caffeine noteRedbush has no caffeine at all, so it fits any hour of the day and any age.
Best withRusks (the South African dunking biscuit), milk tart, dark chocolate digestives, or after dinner as a gentle evening cup.
Safety and purity

What’s in it, what to know

Ingredients and dietary suitabilityTetley may change its redbush recipe or allergen advice, so the 100g box that arrives is the one to check.
CaffeineThere is none naturally, so redbush works at any hour and for any age.
Nutrient NoteRedbush contains aspalathin and nothofagin, and it is lower in tannin than black tea.
Shelf LifeRedbush past its best before date is still safe, just less fragrant. Keep the redbush bags in an airtight tin, away from damp, warmth and direct sunlight.
Formulations change; the current UK pack is always the final word on ingredients and allergens.
