Tick Tock Organic Rooibos Loose Leaf Tea - Caffeine-Free Herbal Redbush, Pack of 6 x 100g, Naturally Sweet and Biodegradable for Wellbeing and Relaxation

I ordered the organic rooibos tea variant, and they arrived in good condition and well boxed. There are two silver foiled and sealed sleeves contained inside, each holding 40 tea bags. Good that 40 are sealed and airtight. The bags themselves are of good quality, none of them being split and being able to withstand a good mashing when making the tea. The bags are noted to be free from polypropylene plastic and are biodegradable. BUT, please see my photos, these bags are extraordinarily white, as though bleached.? When I buy an organic based tea, I do expect the bags to be noted as being non-bleached, and so typically a light brown in colour. In one of my photos you can see one of these Tick Tock bags and then one of the Clipper organic rooibos bags, the whitened one against that of the noted non-bleached type. I have had a response from Tick Tock regarding the whiteness of the bags.... "Thank you for reaching out and for your interest in our teabags. In short: our teabags are bleach free. Our teabags are made of a blend of abaca fibres and wood pulp. The abaca fibres retain their natural colour, and we use oxygen to remove the colouring (lignin) from the wood pulp. So, our tea bags are whitened with a process that uses oxygen, but they are not chlorine bleached and contain no dioxins or epichlorohydrin." That is most reassuring. As this tea is not affected, nutritionally, by using boiling water, we tend to use boiled water and let it stand for around 5 mins, extracting all the benefits from the bag into the drink. That seems to work well. It has a gently "nutty" like taste that is wonderfully refreshing. A deep browny red colour within the cup. These tea bags offer exceptional value for money. Their taste is good, being caffeine free and low on tannins is refreshing to know. I seem to be sensitive to caffeine, it is good to know that these can be drunk in the evening without affecting your sleep pattern. Good value and great taste. Recommended.

Have always bought Rooibos in tea bags, mostly from Clipper (organic); that was good, but this Tick Tock Loose Leaf has loads of flavour. Used a teapoonful for a mug of tea. Then used half as much. Two mugs from one teaspoon, still loads of flavour. I will never go back to using tea bags now, and will definitely buy this Tick Tock loose leaf again. As for the tea being shredded (small pieces) - I researched that and it has the benefit of getting more flavour from it, also it is still nutritious if the tea comes sealed (it is) and then kept in a tea can. (kept away from air so that oxidation is slowerd down). This Tick Tock tea is a no brainer for me, it is one of the cheapest too - great value

The health benefits for me are that I'm getting a tasty drink with all the antioxidants of black tea but with a naturally uncaffeinated drink. So Im sleeping better at night! Love the earl grey one and green tea redbush too. Yum! The earl grey has real bergamot flavouring not fake flavourings as Twinnings earl grey does

I have been caffeine free for 4 years and find Tick Tock Rooibos tea the best non caffeine drink. I have tried various brands but personally I find the taste of Tick Tock to be superior so this is now the only tea that I drink on a daily basis.

Great price for six boxes I thought. Apparently organic. Taste is good but the leaves are more shredded then expected. Not sure why this is. I usually buy from a different supplier (at slightly higher price) but the leaves are nice and long.

Love this stuff! I've been drinking it everyday for about 15 years now. No tannins in it, so it never tastes bitter. Have tried other makes but haven't found one as nice as this. I also love it as it's a local company (to me)

Excellent for caffeine free tea with perfect fresh taste.

Refreshing!
