What the Digestive Herbal Blend is
This blend is a loose herbal infusion made for calm sipping after meals or any time you want a lighter cup. It brings together rooibos with selected herbs for a smooth, rounded flavour that does not need milk or sugar, although many customers add a little honey if they prefer a softer finish. The cup is naturally caffeine free, so it works well in the evening too.
Because it is a loose blend, the flavour opens properly in a teapot, press or infuser basket. The leaves and herbs need room to move in hot water, and that gives a steadier flavour than a rushed bagged brew. For homes in coastal areas like Cape Town or Durban, the blend keeps well if stored properly, even with the humidity. Just keep the container sealed and away from the stove.
Sizes and packing options
We supply Digestive Herbal Blend in practical pack sizes for home use, office tea points and hospitality counters. Smaller packs suit frequent top ups, while larger catering sizes are better for guest houses, coffee bars and bulk tea stations. If you are ordering for gifting or resale, private label packing can be arranged on request.
- 50 g for trial use, gifts or one person drinking occasionally
- 100 g for regular home use
- 250 g for hospitality, small offices or tea service
- 500 g and bulk packing for tea bars and replenishment stock
- Tea tins or sealed pouches where presentation matters
When choosing a size, think about how quickly you will use it. Loose tea should be used steadily for the best flavour, not left open for months. In a busy family kitchen, a 100 g bag is often a good middle ground, while a guest lodge or meeting room may move through 250 g much faster.
Where this blend fits best
This herbal infusion suits after-lunch or after-supper serving, especially where guests want something soothing and not too sweet. It is a good fit for restaurants, small hotels, wellness spaces, boardrooms and reception areas. Many clients also use it as a calm offering in guest houses and at family gatherings where some people prefer tea without strong black tea notes.
- After-meal service in cafés, bistros and restaurants
- Guest houses and boutique accommodation
- Office kitchens and staff refreshment stations
- Corporate gifting boxes and seasonal hampers
- Tea tasting tables at weddings and events
In Stellenbosch and Paarl, where many hospitality spaces serve visitors from early morning to late evening, a digestive blend gives the tea list a useful non-caffeinated option. It also works well in winter, when people want something warm but not heavy.
How to brew it properly
For the best cup, use one heaped teaspoon per cup and pour on freshly boiled water. Let it steep for 5 to 7 minutes, longer if you want a fuller herbal profile. If you are making a pot, add one extra teaspoon for the pot and warm the pot first. A French press or mesh basket gives a cleaner pour and lets the herbs infuse evenly.
This product does not need installation, power or gas. It is a dry tea product only, so it can be stored and served anywhere with basic tea service equipment. If you are serving it at an event or in an office pantry, all you need is boiling water, cups and a way to strain the leaves. For larger service points, a hot water urn or kettle is useful, especially when load shedding makes planning important.
- Water: freshly boiled, just off the boil
- Steep time: 5 to 7 minutes
- Serving style: plain, with honey or a slice of lemon
- Equipment: teapot, infuser, press or tea basket
- Power and gas: none required for the product itself
Care, storage and ongoing freshness
Herbal blends keep best in a cool dry cupboard away from sunlight and strong smells. After opening, close the pouch tightly or transfer the tea to an airtight tin. Do not leave it near coffee beans, cleaning products or spices, because loose tea can pick up odours easily. In humid areas like Somerset West or coastal Cape Town, a sealed container matters even more.
If you use the blend in hospitality or office supply, rotate stock so older packs are used first. That keeps flavour consistent and helps avoid waste. The tea itself does not need servicing, but the storage area should be dry and clean. If a scoop is used, keep it dry too, as moisture can affect the leaves and herbal pieces.
What to check before ordering
Before placing an order, check how many cups you need per day, whether the blend is for home, retail, gifting or hospitality, and what pack size will give you the best value. If you are buying for resale or corporate hampers, ask about labelled packing and mixed orders. It also helps to note whether you want a milder cup or a stronger herb-forward profile, because that can guide your choice.
- Required pack size and monthly usage
- Preferred packaging for gifting or storage
- Whether the tea is for home, office or hospitality use
- Any flavour preferences or dietary requirements
- Delivery destination, especially if it is a remote area
Clients in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Bloemfontein are all serviced by courier, and Stellenbosch collection arrangements can be discussed where needed. If you are not sure which size to buy, send an enquiry through the contact page and we can help you choose the right pack for your setting. A quick check now usually saves a second order later, which is worth doing.
