Freshpak Pure Rooibos Tea (2-Pack)

This listing is for Freshpak Pure Rooibos Tea, but heads up—several buyers reported receiving the infusion blend instead of pure rooibos. The pure version contains only rooibos needles and stems, while the infusion includes added ingredients. If you're specifically after the pure variety for its authentic taste, double-check what arrives and contact the seller if there's a mix-up.

Freshpak delivers that classic, earthy South African rooibos taste that fans describe as 'refreshing' and 'pleasant' with a moderately strong flavor. It's not overly delicate—several people mention you can actually rebrew the bags and still get good flavor on the second steep. The concentration is solid enough that you're tasting genuine rooibos character, not just colored water.

You're getting 160 tea bags total (two 80-count boxes) at a price point that regular rooibos drinkers appreciate. Plus, the bags are strong enough to rebrew, essentially doubling your cup count if you don't mind a lighter second steep. For daily caffeine-free tea drinkers, that adds up to serious savings compared to premium loose-leaf or single-use bags.

Absolutely. Freshpak is beginner-friendly because the tea bags make preparation foolproof, it's naturally caffeine-free so you can drink it anytime without jitters, and it's gentle on sensitive stomachs. The flavor is authentic but not intimidating—just that warm, earthy rooibos taste without bitterness. It's also consistently available and affordable, so you can experiment with brewing times and strength without breaking the bank.

The boxes don't have resealable or airtight packaging, which means once you open them, the tea bags are exposed to air and can lose freshness over time. A few buyers also reported broken seals on arrival. If you're going through tea quickly, it's not a huge deal, but if you drink it occasionally, consider transferring the bags to an airtight container to maintain that fresh rooibos flavor.

Yes, rooibos is naturally 100% caffeine-free, so you can enjoy it morning, noon, or right before bed without affecting your sleep. One reviewer specifically mentioned it's 'gentle on the stomach,' making it a solid choice if regular tea or coffee tends to upset your digestion. It's one of those rare teas that's soothing rather than stimulating.
