Beyond the cup
Double vanilla — the rooibos already has vanillin, and then there’s more. Steep into cream for the richest vanilla custard base you can make from a tea bag. Infuse into butter for vanilla shortbread. Brew a concentrate and use as a vanilla extract substitute in baking — seriously. Reduce with sugar for a vanilla syrup that beats anything from a bottle.
What’s in it
Every herb in the blend, and where to read about it on its own.
Not tea. Rooibos is a needle-leaved shrub of the pea family that grows in one mountain range in the Western Cape and nowhere else, and since 2021 the name has been legally reserved for it. It is the base of thirty-three products here for one...
Honey, dried fruit and vanilla with a little wood; smooth, naturally sweet, never bitter. Green rooibos is malty and slightly grassy
The cured seed pod of an orchid, and the second-most expensive spice in the world after saffron. Twelve products carry it. In a blend vanilla does something no other ingredient does: it makes everything beside it taste rounder and sweeter without adding sugar, which is...
Sweet, creamy and floral with a woody depth; it rounds out everything beside it
Vanilla on vanilla on vanilla. Sip alongside crème brûlée, vanilla ice cream, or pound cake. Pair with our Vanilla Bean and Cinnamon for the ultimate vanilla baking ritual.
