Simply Red Bush Loose Leaf Tea – Pure, Smooth & Naturally Caffeine-Free
Discover the rich, earthy flavours of Simply Red Bush Loose Leaf Tea, made from 100% pure Rooibos leaves. Known as "Red Bush" in Afrikaans, Rooibos has been cherished in South Africa for thousands of years for its smooth taste and natural health benefits. Grown exclusively in the Cederberg region, this unique plant has never been successfully cultivated anywhere else in the world.
Despite being naturally caffeine-free, Rooibos contains powerful polyphenols, the same beneficial antioxidants found in traditional tea, making it an ideal alternative for those seeking a soothing, health-boosting brew. Enjoy it black, with milk, or even as a refreshing iced tea—it’s delicious any way you like it!
🌿 Why Loose Leaf?
Unlike conventional tea bags, which often contain crushed tea dust, our loose-leaf Rooibos ensures a fuller, richer flavour and maximum nutrient retention. Plus, with no plastic-based tea bags, you get a cleaner, more sustainable cup—better for your health and the planet.
Need a strainer to brew your perfect cuppa? Look no further! Our beautiful reusable Stainless Steel Tea Basket is just what you need!
A Smooth, Versatile & Nourishing Brew
Whether you prefer it hot or iced, black or with milk, Simply Red Bush is a naturally sweet, low-tannin, and full-bodied tea that’s perfect for any time of day.
💛 Pure Rooibos. No Microplastics. Naturally Caffeine-Free.

We just love these loose leaf teas from local company, Tealicious. They've been expertly blended by their resident Tea Expert and we can honestly say they're the best teas we've tasted! This is what they say about this tea:
- Tasters say – Sweet, nutty, almost woody.
- Looks – clear reddish brown.
- Region – Africa.
- Brew – For best results, 5 mins (but you will work out what is best for you). Best drunk neat but a little milk is allowed.
Available in 100g (around 50 cups) or 250g (around 125 cups).
The Tealicious Way To Brew:
The Water:
Always use fresh water. It is the dissolved oxygen in the water that draws the flavour out of the tea leaf. Water that has been boiled before has less oxygen so won't brew as well.
The Kettle:
Only put in the amount of water you are going to use. It makes no difference to how the tea tastes but it will use less energy and save you money.
The Tea Pot:
Use your favourite. It doesn’t matter if its metal, china or glass but it does help to warm it first. The best type of tea pot is one with an internal removable strainer or basket. Removing the strainer enables you to stop the tea from brewing beyond your ideal time.
The Tea:
When you are able to get top quality leaf tea why would you pay extra to have it wrapped in tissue or some other material which restricts its brew? It makes no sense, so always use whole leaf tea. You will soon work out what is best for you but we recommend 1 teaspoon per cup, placed in a Tea Strainer in the warmed tea pot.
The Pouring:
Putting the milk in first or last does make a difference but neither is wrong. Why not pour one cup of each and see which you prefer.
The Drinking:
Sit down, relax and make time to enjoy this exquisite drink that has been so carefully brought to its point of perfection.
