How to Brew Blood Orange Vanilla Rooibos Tea Bags

How to Brew Blood Orange Vanilla Rooibos Tea Bags

Learn how to brew organic blood orange vanilla rooibos tea bags for a flavorful, naturally caffeine free cup. Discover steeping tips and what makes this rooibos tea special.

What makes this rooibos tea different

Organic Blood Orange Vanilla Rooibos Tea Bags bring together organic South African rooibos, organic blood orange peel, organic hibiscus, organic rose petals, organic apple pieces, and natural lemon-vanilla flavoring. The result is a vibrant, caffeine free herbal tea that works well for both hot and iced cups.

Because rooibos is naturally caffeine free, this tea fits easily into evening routines or any time you want to cut back on caffeine. The blend is also certified organic by Pennsylvania Certified Organic and carries kosher certification from OU Kosher.

How to brew a flavorful cup

Rooibos is more forgiving than green or black tea, so you have some flexibility. The key is to use water that is hot but not boiling, and to steep long enough to draw out the sweet, citrusy notes without turning bitter.

  1. Heat fresh water: Bring water to a near boil. Rooibos can handle hotter water than delicate green teas, but avoid a rolling boil to protect the subtle orange and vanilla flavors.
  2. Add the tea bag: Place one Organic Blood Orange Vanilla Rooibos tea bag in your cup or mug. If you prefer a stronger cup, use two bags.
  3. Pour and steep: Pour the hot water over the tea bag and let it steep for several minutes. Rooibos releases flavor gradually, so a longer steep brings out more body without the harshness you might get from other teas.
  4. Remove and enjoy: Take out the tea bag when the color looks deep and the aroma is fragrant. Sip hot, or pour over ice for a refreshing iced tea.

Making iced blood orange vanilla rooibos

To make iced tea, brew the tea a bit stronger by using two tea bags in the same amount of water. After steeping, remove the bags and let the tea cool to room temperature, then pour over ice. The blood orange and vanilla notes stay bright when chilled, making it a pleasant caffeine free option for warm days.

Choosing the right pack size

The tea bags come in three counts: 20 tea bags, 120 tea bags (six boxes), and 100 tagless tea bags. The 20-count box is a good starting point if you're trying the blend for the first time. The 120-count option works for regular drinkers or households with multiple tea drinkers. The 100 tagless tea bags are convenient for brewing loose-style or for those who prefer tagless bags.

What to keep in mind

The supplied information does not specify exact water temperature or steeping time, so treat the guidance here as general. Rooibos is naturally low in tannins, so oversteeping is less likely to cause bitterness. Still, taste as you go and adjust to your preference.

The tea bags are described as bleach and glue-free, which may matter to you if you're trying to avoid those materials. The product is produced in an SQF-certified facility and is certified kosher.
