Mighty Leaf Organic African Nectar Rooibos Tea (45 Count)

Yes — and this is one of the things reviewers love most about it. Multiple people specifically mention that you can leave the bag in for an extended steep without any bitterness developing. That's partly because rooibos is naturally low in tannins (the compounds that make black and green tea bitter when oversteeped). It makes this a very forgiving tea, especially if you're the type to get distracted and forget about your cup.

Several reviewers report getting up to 4 cups from a single silken tea bag, which is impressive for a bagged tea. The whole-leaf format holds up better to multiple steeps than typical crushed-leaf bags. That means a 45-count box could potentially yield 100+ cups if you're re-steeping, which significantly improves the value proposition given the premium price point.

It's actually one of the most beginner-friendly teas you can buy. There's practically nothing you can do wrong with it — it won't get bitter if you steep too long, there's no caffeine timing to worry about, and the flavor is pleasant and approachable without being bland. The silken tea bags make preparation effortless (no measuring loose leaf, no special equipment). If you're new to herbal tea or transitioning away from caffeinated drinks, this is an easy place to start.

At least one reviewer specifically noted that this tea does not stain teeth or porcelain — which is a pleasant surprise if you've dealt with tea staining from black or green teas. Rooibos in general is lighter in tannins than true teas, so staining is less of an issue. If you're someone who drinks multiple cups a day and worries about discoloration, that's a genuine bonus.

The product is specifically marketed for both hot and iced brewing, and the flavor profile — fruity, floral, naturally sweet, and refreshing — lends itself well to iced preparation. Since rooibos doesn't get bitter with extended steeping, you can cold brew it overnight without worrying about the taste turning harsh. The natural sweetness also means you may not need to add any sweetener when serving it iced.

If you're looking for a tea that gives you an energy boost or a caffeine kick, this isn't it — it's completely caffeine-free. It's also a delicate, floral-forward blend, so if you prefer bold, malty, or smoky teas, the light flavor may feel underwhelming. And if you're very budget-conscious about herbal tea, this is on the premium end price-wise — though the re-steepability helps offset that. Finally, if you've tried it before and loved the original formula, be aware that at least one reviewer has noticed the flavor has shifted toward being more floral.

Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free, so there's no concern about overdoing it on stimulants — and that's one of the main reasons people reach for this Mighty Leaf African Nectar blend daily. Reviewers specifically mention drinking it as an all-day tea, from morning through bedtime, without any issues. It's also gentle on the stomach since rooibos is low in tannins. If you're looking for something you can sip throughout the day without watching the clock, this fits the bill well.

This particular African Nectar blend is especially popular for evening wind-down and bedtime — it's completely caffeine-free, so you can drink it right before sleep without any issues. Reviewers also love it as a winter warming drink and for general relaxation (one person even uses it during hair spa sessions). Beyond the ritual, rooibos itself is known for being rich in antioxidants and gentle on the stomach. The smooth, fruity-floral flavor of this blend makes it more interesting than plain rooibos, which helps if you're trying to replace a caffeinated evening habit.

Mighty Leaf uses whole leaf tea in their silken pouches rather than the crushed fannings you find in most tea bags — and that's a real quality difference you can see and taste. For this African Nectar blend specifically, you're getting a premium rooibos with a complex fruity and floral profile, not just plain rooibos. That said, reviewers do note it's pricier than typical rooibos options. One thing that helps offset the cost: several people report getting up to 4 cups from a single bag, which brings the per-cup price down considerably.

Mighty Leaf African Nectar is built on an organic rooibos base blended with fruity and floral botanicals that give it that distinctive sweet, aromatic character. The blend produces flavor notes of tropical fruit, flowers, and natural sweetness without any added sugar. It's an herbal blend, so there are no actual tea leaves (Camellia sinensis) — which is why it's naturally caffeine-free. For the exact ingredient list, check the product packaging, as formulations can occasionally be updated.

Rooibos tea is naturally caffeine-free, which removes one of the major concerns pregnant women have about tea. This Mighty Leaf African Nectar blend is entirely herbal with no actual tea leaves, so there's no caffeine whatsoever. That said, it does contain a blend of botanicals beyond just rooibos, so it's always worth checking the full ingredient list and consulting your healthcare provider — especially during pregnancy, when it's smart to be cautious about any herbal blends.

Mighty Leaf has gone through some ownership changes over the years — they were acquired by Peet's Coffee & Tea, which itself became part of JDE Peet's. The brand is still around and still producing tea, but at least one reviewer of the African Nectar blend has noticed what they describe as a formula change, saying the flavor became more flowery and artificial-tasting compared to the original. Most reviewers, however, still praise the smooth, fruity-floral flavor, so your experience may vary.
