Organic Positively Tea Company Rooibos Loose Leaf Tea 16 oz — USDA Organic, Caffeine-Free, Naturally Sweet

Organic Positively Tea Company South African Rooibos loose leaf is a USDA organic, naturally caffeine-free red tea sold in a 16-ounce bag for everyday brewing.

This South African red bush (Rooibos) comes as loose leaf, offering a naturally sweet, low-astringency infusion with honey and mild pine notes. Packed in a full one-pound-style 16-ounce bag, this rooibos is certified organic and contains only pure Rooibos—no additives, preservatives, or artificial flavors—so you get a clean cup that steeps well hot or iced. It’s designed for tea drinkers who want a caffeine-free alternative that’s versatile in recipes, blends, and daily rituals.

How does this Rooibos taste and brew?

The flavor profile is naturally sweet and mellow, with subtle honeyed tones and a gentle pine-like brightness. It does not produce the bitter or astringent edge common to many black teas, so it steeps long without harshness. Use one teaspoon per 8 oz for a light cup, or increase to one tablespoon for a stronger, full-bodied infusion.

• Flavor: honey-sweet, mild, low astringency
• Brewing: 6–10 minutes steep time, works well hot or cold-brewed
• Measurements: ~150–240 cups per 16 oz depending on strength
• Served: excellent plain, with milk, or as iced tea

What makes this rooibos organic and different from other teas?

This product carries USDA organic certification, meaning the leaves were produced without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or GMOs. Rooibos is a distinct plant from Camellia sinensis (true tea), so it is naturally free of caffeine and typically lower in tannins. The result is a smooth, naturally red brew that complements both solo sipping and culinary use.

• Certification: USDA Organic verified
• Ingredient list: 100% Organic Rooibos, no additives
• Caffeine status: naturally caffeine-free
• Processing: red rooibos (oxidized) for rich color and flavor

How can I use this loose leaf rooibos beyond a simple cup?

Loose rooibos is highly adaptable: use it as a base for herbal blends, in baking liquids, or to infuse creams and cocktails. Its natural sweetness reduces the need for added sugar in many recipes, and because it’s caffeine-free it’s suitable for evening beverages and recipes for children. The leaves also hold up well to long steeps needed for cold brewing or stronger flavor extraction.

• Mixing: blends well with spices, citrus, and floral notes
• Cooking: infuse milk, syrups, custards, or baked goods
• Beverages: hot steeping, iced tea, and cold-brew applications
• Serving: child- and evening-friendly because it’s caffeine-free

How much tea does one 16-ounce bag yield and how should it be stored?

A 16-ounce package typically makes between 150 and 240 cups depending on your scoop size and desired strength. Store the loose leaf in an airtight, dark container away from heat and strong odors to preserve aroma and flavor for months. For best freshness, use within a year and reseal the original bag or transfer to a jar after opening.

• Yield: approximately 150–240 cups per 16 oz
• Storage: airtight, cool, and dark container
• Shelf-life: best within a year for optimal flavor
• Packaging tip: keep away from moisture and odors
