What Mint Rooibos tastes like in the cup
Mint Rooibos combines authentic rooibos with a cooling mint note so the flavour opens with freshness, then settles into the round, honeyed character that rooibos is known for. The result is not sharp or sugary. It is a balanced cup with a clean finish, which makes it easy to drink on its own or with a small amount of honey if you prefer a sweeter edge.
This blend is suited to customers who enjoy herbal infusions but still want body in the cup. The rooibos gives warmth and depth, while the mint keeps the profile lively. In our experience it works well for people in Cape Town on a windy afternoon, in Johannesburg when the air feels dry, and in Durban when you want something cool without needing ice. It also makes a good caffeine free option for evening tea, especially if you want to keep things light after supper.
Loose-leaf format and available sizes
Mint Rooibos is supplied as loose-leaf tea for a fuller infusion and better control over strength. Loose-leaf also lets the mint and rooibos open properly in the pot or infuser, rather than sitting cramped in a small bag. For most homes and offices, that means better flavour from less product and fewer weak cups.
- Small pack: suitable for trial use, travel, guest kitchens or personal use at home
- Standard pack: practical for regular daily brewing and office tea points
- Bulk pack: suited to hospitality, event service and corporate gifting programmes
- Subscription boxes: available for customers who want regular delivery without reordering each time
Pack sizes may be used on their own or combined with other herbal infusions for gifting sets and curated tea menus. If you are ordering for retail shelves or a hospitality tray, ask for guidance on the most suitable pack mix for your space and turnover.
Where Mint Rooibos suits best
This blend is a practical fit for homes, guest houses, day spas, office pantries and hospitality counters where customers expect a caffeine free tea that still feels special. It also suits wedding favour packing and seasonal gifting, since the flavour is easy to understand and generally well received by mixed groups. Mint Rooibos is popular with customers who like a cup that feels fresh after lunch, after travel, or after a hot coastal day.
For office tea supply, Mint Rooibos works well in shared spaces because it is uncomplicated to brew and does not need milk. For hotels and guest lodges, it gives visitors a clean herbal option alongside black tea and plain rooibos. In Stellenbosch and Somerset West it is a steady choice for tasting tables and retail shelves, while in Pretoria and Bloemfontein it tends to be picked for evening use and cooler months. It also sits neatly in tea menu curation where a lighter herbal option is needed.

Brewing guide and serving notes
Use 1 heaped teaspoon per cup, or about 2 to 3 g for a standard mug. Steep in freshly boiled water for 5 to 7 minutes to let the rooibos colour and the mint release properly. If you like a stronger mint note, allow a little extra time rather than adding too much leaf at once. The blend takes kindly to a longer steep and does not turn bitter in the same way some green teas do.
Serve plain for the cleanest flavour, or add a slice of lemon if you want a sharper finish. It can also be chilled for iced tea service, which is useful for summer functions and hospitality trays. Because the blend is naturally caffeine free, it suits later service periods and meeting rooms where people want a calmer drink. If you are serving many cups at once, pre-portioning into pots helps keep the flavour consistent and saves time during busy service periods.
Ingredients, packing and ordering checks
Before ordering, check the intended use, the number of cups needed per week, and whether you want plain packs or mixed gifting sets. If you are buying for a restaurant, hotel or corporate programme, it helps to know your average cover count and whether the tea will be served loose in pots or packaged for take-home gifting. That makes it easier to choose the right pack size and avoid short stock cycles.

Storage, care and regular supply
Keep Mint Rooibos in a cool, dry cupboard away from sunlight, steam and strong smells from cleaning products or spices. Rooibos is quite forgiving, but mint can lose some of its lift if the pack is left open near heat or moisture. Once opened, reseal the pack tightly and use clean, dry scoops. If you are storing larger volumes for hospitality or office supply, decant only what you need for the week and keep the rest sealed.
There is no servicing requirement as such, though good stock control helps the blend stay fresh and consistent. For regular users, it is sensible to rotate stock on a first in, first out basis and to review usage every month or so. In coastal areas where humidity is higher, extra care with sealing is worthwhile. If you are ordering for a team or guest house, a simple restock schedule avoids running out during busy periods and keeps the tea point tidy.
