Apple Cider Rooibos | Caffeine-Free Herbal Blend – Wags & Whiskers Coffee Co.

Harvest Season. Every Season.

Close your eyes. It's a crisp autumn afternoon, there's a pot of spiced apple cider simmering on the stove, and the whole house smells of cinnamon, warm spice, and something sweet and earthy you can't quite name. That's Rooibos. And combined with cinnamon, orange peel, and warming natural spices, it becomes something truly unforgettable — a cup that tastes like fall, feels like a hug, and can be enjoyed any time of year, any time of day.

No caffeine. No compromise. Just pure, cozy bliss.

What's Inside

• Rooibos (Red Bush Tea) — South Africa (~60%) — the soul of the blend; pronounced ROY-bos, this remarkable caffeine-free herbal tea is grown exclusively in the Cederberg Mountains of South Africa's Western Cape, where the unique fynbos ecosystem and mineral-rich soil produce a naturally sweet, earthy, full-bodied tea unlike anything else in the world. Rooibos is celebrated globally for its rich antioxidant content, naturally sweet flavor, and complete absence of caffeine — making it the perfect base for an any-time-of-day cup
• Cinnamon (~20%) — warm, sweet, and deeply aromatic; the cinnamon adds the signature spiced warmth that makes this blend taste like freshly pressed apple cider and evokes the best of autumn in every sip
• Orange Peel (~12%) — a bright, zesty citrus lift that adds complexity and a clean, fruity sweetness that perfectly complements the earthy Rooibos and warm cinnamon
• Natural Apple & Spice Flavor (~8%) — the finishing touch that ties the whole blend together; a warm, natural apple note that gives this tea its name and its irresistible harvest-season character, rounded out with a blend of warming spices that linger beautifully on the palate

The Rooibos Story

Rooibos — Afrikaans for "Red Bush" — has been brewed by the indigenous Khoisan people of South Africa for centuries. It grows only in a small region of the Western Cape, where the harsh, dry mountain climate and unique fynbos soil create the conditions for this extraordinary plant to thrive. Unlike traditional tea, Rooibos contains no caffeine and no tannins, making it naturally smooth, never bitter, and safe to enjoy at any hour. It's rich in antioxidants including aspalathin — a compound found nowhere else in nature — and has been associated with a range of wellness benefits including anti-inflammatory properties and heart health support.

Our Apple Cider Rooibos elevates this already remarkable base with cinnamon, orange peel, and natural spices — creating a premium cup that honors the tradition while delivering something genuinely new.
