Tetley Redbush Pure, 40 Tea Bags 100g
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.
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.
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.

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.
