Why We Love It

African Outback is a simple blend with a bright personality. African Outback gets its name from the South African rooibos at the heart of the blend and Australia's bright, open-air feeling that lemon myrtle brings to the cup. It is simple, but not plain: smooth red rooibos gives it warmth and body, while the lemony lift keeps everything fresh, lively, and easy to drink. This is the caffeine-free tea we reach for when we want something herbal but not heavy, cozy but still bright. Hot, it has the mellow comfort of rooibos with a clean citrus finish. Iced, it becomes crisp and refreshing — the kind of cup that feels like fresh air in a glass.

Brewing Notes

  • Use freshly boiled water and steep 5–7 minutes.
  • Rooibos is forgiving, so a longer steep will bring out more body without bitterness.
  • Honey softens the lemon myrtle, while a squeeze of lemon makes the cup brighter.
  • For iced tea, brew slightly stronger and pour over ice.
