Rooibos Tea: Effects, Preparation, and the Best Varieties with Teaballs

Rooibos tea is no longer a secret – and rightly so. This South African red bush tea is caffeine-free, rich in antioxidants, and with its naturally sweet aroma, it tastes great even without sugar. Whether as a relaxing evening tea, as a base for iced tea, or as a thoughtful tea gift: Rooibos is impressive across the board. We'll show you what's in this tea, how to prepare it optimally – and which varieties are particularly popular at Teaballs.

What makes Rooibos tea so special?

Unlike classic black or green tea, Rooibos contains no caffeine – making it ideal for children, pregnant women, and anyone who wants to enjoy a cup in the evening without risking their sleep. It also boasts impressive ingredients:

• Antioxidants like aspalathin and nothofagin – almost exclusively found in Rooibos
• Minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc
• Anti-inflammatory properties that can support the immune system
• Gentle effect on the stomach – ideal for digestive problems

No wonder it's gaining more and more fans in Switzerland. Those who only know Rooibos from supermarket tea bags – whether from Coop or Migros – will be surprised by the depth of flavor that high-quality bag-free Rooibos leaves can offer.

How to properly prepare Rooibos tea – here's how

Preparation is straightforward, but a few details make the difference between a good and a great tea:

• Water temperature: 95–100 °C – Rooibos tolerates boiling water without problems
• Steeping time: 5–8 minutes for a full, round taste
• Amount: approx. 2 grams per 200 ml of water
• Bag-free tea: Best prepared loose – in a teapot with a strainer or directly in a tea travel mug for on the go

Particularly practical: With a high-quality tea travel mug, you can also enjoy your Rooibos in the office or on the go – without plastic bags, without compromising on taste.
