Rooibos South Side

A new elegance in the art of infusionLong discreet, rooibos found a real echo in France at the turn of the 2000s, driven by a quest for well-being, naturalness, and gentleness. Caffeine-free and silky on the palate, it gradually established itself as a refined alternative to traditional teas. Betjeman and Barton was among the first houses to reveal its full potential by flavoring it with precision and creativity. Since then, flavored rooibos has seduced a demanding clientele, often feminine, urban, contemporary, in search of pleasure and elegance at all times. An infusion that has become an art of living, subtly anchored in its time.



Parisian chic in a cup
In Paris, Côté Sud has become a well-kept secret for modern and inspired young women. Addicted to the five o'clock ritual, they revisit tea time in their own way: urban, stylish, and delicate. Less caffeine, but no less character. This bergamot rooibos is their favorite ally, a silky and assertive alternative to black tea, perfect for accompanying a couture pastry or a chat with friends. A new-generation Earl Grey, in a soft, free, and feminine version.

Rooibos and food pairings
Rooibos Côté Sud is perfect for breakfast. Its lively, rounded aroma evokes a mild Earl Grey, perfect for accompanying sourdough toast, citrus brioche, or homemade granola with candied zest. It also pairs wonderfully with a slice of lemon cake, warm scones, or porridge with vanilla pear compote. At snack time, it enhances an almond financier, a clementine tart, or a light marble cake. Caffeine-free but full of character, it accompanies quiet moments, slow mornings, and the end of calm days.



Recipes and cocktails with Rooibos Côté Sud
Infused in hot oat or almond milk, with a hint of honey and a touch of cinnamon, it becomes a cozy, comforting, and elegant drink. Transformed into a syrup, it can coat semolina pudding, flavor a dessert cream, or enhance plain yogurt. It can also be slipped into the batter of a soft cake or a citrus zest flan, infused in the milk. In an iced version, it remains a refreshing option, but it is especially as a hot drink that it displays all its subtlety, a discreet but persistent warmth.
