The Carmien Kiddies Sleepy Time Rooibos Tea Blend is a caffeine-free, sugar-free herbal tea made for children, blending rooibos with a chamomile herb blend and natural strawberry and tutti frutti flavouring. Formulated as a bedtime drink, it's designed to help little ones wind down in the lead-up to sleep, with a sweet, fruity taste and aroma that many children take to easily.
Each box holds 20 teabags and can be served warm and cooled, or as a chilled iced tea or cold brew, so it slots into an evening routine whether that's a warm cup before bed or a bottle for the fridge. Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free, and this blend is also kilojoule-free, preservative-free and sugar-free, which makes it an easy everyday drink to keep on hand.
A gentle, naturally caffeine-free blend
Rooibos has long been valued as a soothing, caffeine-free tea, and chamomile is a herb traditionally used for its gentle, calming character — a pairing that suits the wind-down before bedtime and can be a helpful option for busy or hyperactive children at the end of the day. The chamomile herb blend also includes hibiscus flowers and rosehip shells, which give the tea its rounded flavour alongside the fruity notes.
Thoughtful teabag design
The teabags are made from Fibre+, a non-plastic filter paper — a detail worth knowing if you'd rather steer clear of plastic in the cup. It's a small thing, but it matters to a lot of parents.
How to Use
This blend is versatile and can be prepared a few different ways depending on how your child likes it. Whichever method you use, take care when working with boiling water and always allow the tea to cool before serving it to children.
Hot brew
- Use one teabag for every 250 ml of boiling water in a cup or teapot.
- Steep for 5–10 minutes, or to taste.
- Best enjoyed at around 60°C, with or without milk, honey, sugar or a slice of lemon. Allow to cool before serving to children.
Hot-brewed iced tea
- Use one teabag for every 250 ml of boiling water and steep for at least 10 minutes.
- For a stronger infusion, steep overnight or add extra teabags.
- Remove the teabags, chill, and serve with ice.
Cold brew
- Use two teabags for every 250 ml of cold water in a jug, water bottle or travel cup.
- Steep for 10 minutes and leave the teabags in.
- Refrigerate and use within 24 hours.
For a sweeter iced tea or cold brew, you can add a little honey or fruit juice, and garnish with mint or a slice of fresh lemon.
