Tic Toc Original Organic Rooibos Tea

I've known Rooibos tea for more than a decade now. I got introduced to it first by my South African college mates and it has been my favourite tea drink since. I'm not in favour of over-manufactured teas so I looked around before deciding which red tea brand to choose. Why did I choose Tick Tock? What I like about it over other brands is - its full and slightly woody, rich fruity (like pomegranate) flavour. - its rich and bright mahogany colour (it doesn't look cloudy like green and black tea) - unlike other brands, it doesn't get bitter when the teabag is left in the brew - there are 40 bags in the pack, so its ...  Read the complete review

Tick Tock Original Rooibos Tea is Red Bush tea made by Drangonfly Teas. It is a caffeine-free alternative to real tea which is why I have started drinking it - I was told by my doctor to quit drinking caffeine but I didn't want to give up my habit of drinking several cups of tea a day. There's nothing better than a nice cup of tea to soothe my jangling nerves when I'm stressed or simply to take a break at work or to warm up after being out in the cold. So I asked around about alternatives to tea and my mother suggested I try Rooibos. I picked the Tick Tock brand over the others in the supermarket probably because of the nice packaging it comes in.

Rooibos tea, or redbush as it is sometimes called, is a great caffeine free alternative to conventional black tea or coffee, and particularly rich in antioxidants. It has a very unique taste and an interesting historical background. Just incase you were interested, it is generally pronounced roi-bos or sometimes roo-i-bosh. Who knows! Grown only in a small region called Cedarberg in the Western Cape of South Africa, it grows as green leaves which are then oxidised to produce the red leaves that are dried for use in red Rooibos tea, like Tick Tock Original Rooibos tea. Organically produced, it can be drank with or without sugar and/or milk, but is also very ...  Read the complete review

So I've given up caffeine. I used to have a coffee addiction to rival Mr Starbucks himself, with a personal motto of "no caffeine, no point". Giving up caffeine was a big deal for me. I'm still not entirely sure why I did it, but I've stuck to it with dogged determination and hope not to fall back off the wagon. Anyone who's given up coffee will know that the first few days are horrible. Smelling coffee around the office and trying not to nod off or scream isn't easy when caffeine is your heroin. Luckily for me one of my MSN buddies (what do you mean I should be working?!) was giving up at the same time and pointed me in the direction of Rooibos ...  Read the complete review

It doesn't seem that long ago, that tea choices were comparatively limited. You were faced with a much smaller selection than today and, coffee took over from tea as the British drink of choice. Coffee bars sprung up everywhere with a range of delights to tempt us. I know of only one tea shop, (in Bath), offering as much choice of teas and it was there about a year ago that among their extensive menu, I discovered Rooibos. I wasn't feeling great on the day concerned, so when I read the health giving benefits of Rooibos on their menu, it was the obvious choice. It is a natural, (and in this instance), organic caffeine free tea which is high in ...  Read the complete review
