About this product
Rhubarb & Custard tastes exactly like the sweet shop version: tangy rhubarb against smooth vanilla, with a rooibos base doing the work most black teas would ruin with tannins. It's the closest thing to eating a penny sweet without the sugar crash.
Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free and antioxidant-rich, so this one earns a place in the evening rotation as easily as the afternoon. Calendula petals and vanilla pieces build the 'custard' character. There's no added sugar doing the work instead. It's a Great Taste Award winner, and every bag is plastic-free, made from Soilon rather than sealed plastic mesh.

Why it's BRiMM
Why it's BRiMM
The same two words keep coming up, unprompted, before anyone's even clocked the name on the box: 'penny sweets.' It's rare for a rooibos tea to trigger a specific childhood memory this reliably.
It's a clever trick: real rhubarb pieces and vanilla sit on an antioxidant-rich rooibos base, with zero added sugar. The 'custard' note comes from vanilla and calendula petals, not a spoonful of sweetener.
It won a Great Taste Award in 2016, in plastic-free bags made from Soilon.
How to use
How to use
One bag per cup. Boil water to 100°C, steep 4+ minutes, with or without milk (oat milk brings out the custard note).
Naturally caffeine-free, so it's fair game after dinner.
