More About Jasper & Gold’s Sweetfire Rooibos
This captivating artisan blend is crafted with a selection of USDA Certified Organic ingredients, meticulously chosen to support metabolic vitality and an adventurous wellness journey:
Organic Rooibos (South Africa): The mineral-rich foundation of this blend. Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free and traditionally recognized for its high antioxidant content (aspalathin), used to support heart health and promote a grounded sense of well-being.
Organic Ceylon Cinnamon (Sri Lanka): A "True Cinnamon" that provides a warm, sweet aromatic profile. It is traditionally used to support healthy blood sugar balance and efficient circulation.
Artisan Silver Needle White Tea (Da Si Village, Lincang, China): Unlike generic white teas, these hand-harvested buds offer a thick, lubricating mouthfeel. It contributes a micro-dose of caffeine and high levels of L-theanine to support "Emotional Fitness" and mental clarity.
Organic Chili Pepper (India): The "Fire" in the blend. Chili contains capsaicin, which is traditionally used to ignite metabolism and support healthy thermogenesis (the body's natural heat production).
Organic Turmeric (India): Provides a vibrant golden hue and earthy warmth. Turmeric is a cornerstone of proactive wellness, traditionally used to support a healthy inflammatory response throughout the body.
Organic Ceylon Cloves (Sri Lanka): A potent aromatic traditionally used to support digestive resilience and gut health.
Organic Chamomile (Egypt): The "Cool" element. Chamomile adds a floral sweetness and is traditionally used to downregulate the nervous system, ensuring the "fire" of the blend remains balanced and soothing.
Why Choose Sweetfire Rooibos in 2026?
Ignite Your January Reset: Perfect for Dry January, this blend offers a complex, "adult" flavor profile (sweet, spicy, and savory) that serves as a satisfying, functional alternative to evening cocktails or sugary snacks.
Support Metabolic Flexibility: The synergistic combination of Chili, Turmeric, and Rooibos is designed for those looking to support their body’s natural metabolic efficiency and energy use.
A "Clean Energy" Lift: The rare Silver Needle white tea provides just enough natural lift to clear "winter brain fog" while the chamomile keeps you centered. It’s an ideal choice for maintaining focus and flow during Mental Health Month (March).
Indulge Without the Sugar: Enjoy a naturally sweet, chai-inspired treat with zero added sugars. The inherent sweetness of Rooibos and Ceylon Cinnamon makes this a guilt-free indulgence that fits any proactive wellness plan.
Somatic Sensory Experience: From the smoldering heat of the chili to the velvety texture of the silver needle, every sip is a lesson in mindful presence, helping you reconnect with your body’s sensations.
Handcrafted Integrity: Blended in small batches in Durham, North Carolina, we ensure the "fire" and "sweetness" are perfectly balanced, reflecting Matthias’s commitment to artisanal quality and your holistic health.
The Sweetfire Milk Infusion (16 oz. Latte)
This is the ultimate Dry January comfort ritual—decadent, spicy, and functionally potent.
Ingredients:
3 tsp of Loose Leaf Sweetfire Rooibos
1 Unbleached Cotton Teabag
12 oz. Freshly Boiled Water (195°F)
4 oz. Milk (Cold or Frothed)
1 Tbsp Local Raw Honey (Recommended for bioavailability)
Directions:
Prepare the Satchel: Scoop 3 tsps of the loose leaf blend into your unbleached cotton teabag.

The Creamy Finish: Add 4 oz. of cold Milk. The natural fats in the milk help the body absorb the curcumin in the turmeric more efficiently.
Sweeten & Bind: Stir in your local raw honey. The honey's enzymes pair beautifully with the "strawberry jam" notes of the Silver Needle buds.
How to Infuse:
Tea Bag:
Option 1: Full Pot
Use 1 teabag per 24 oz of hot water.
Heat water to 195°F (91°C).
Steep for 4 minutes.
Stir gently.
Option 2: Multiple Infusions
Use 1 teabag for 3 infusions (8 oz each).
First Infusion: Heat water to 195°F (91°C) and steep for 1 minute.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): Jasper & Gold’s Sweetfire Rooibos
What makes Sweetfire Rooibos a "Metabolic Ignite" blend?
In early 2026, many are looking for "Low-Friction" ways to support their metabolism during a January Reset. Sweetfire Rooibos achieves this by pairing the thermogenic heat of Organic Chili Pepper and Turmeric with the mineral-rich base of Rooibos. It’s designed to "wake up" your system without the aggressive crash of synthetic stimulants.
What are the primary functional benefits? This artisan blend is traditionally used to:
Optimize Metabolic Vitality: Support the body's natural heat production and energy use.
Promote Digestive Resilience: Alleviate the "winter sluggishness" and bloating often searched for in Q1.
Regulate the Nervous System: Balance the "fire" of spices with the "cool" of Chamomile and L-theanine.
Support Immune Fortification: Provide a potent dose of antioxidants during peak winter months.
How does it support my digestive wellness?
The combination of Organic Ceylon Cinnamon, Cloves, and Rooibos is traditionally used to support gut harmony. These warming botanicals help stimulate digestive enzymes and ease occasional post-meal heaviness.
Is this a good choice for "Dry January"?
Absolutely. One of the biggest challenges of Dry January is finding a satisfying, complex "adult" beverage for the evening. Sweetfire Rooibos offers a smoldering, sweet-and-spicy flavor profile that mimics the complexity of a craft cocktail while providing functional wellness benefits for the liver and gut.
Does it contain caffeine?
Yes, but only a micro-dose. While Rooibos is caffeine-free, this blend features Luxury Silver Needle White Tea (Bai Hao Yin Zhen). This provides a "Clean Energy" profile—just enough to clear "winter brain fog" while maintaining the "Emotional Fitness" needed to stay calm and focused.
What is the significance of the "Silver Needle" from local shop Flight Tea Bar?
We use the highest grade of white tea, harvested in late March. It adds a "creamy" mouthfeel and notes of strawberry jam and honeysuckle that temper the heat of the chili, creating a sophisticated, tactile drinking experience.
How do I prepare this for a "Bioavailability Boost"?
Because this blend contains Turmeric, we recommend the Sweetfire Milk Infusion method. Using 1 tsp of loose leaf in our unbleached cotton teabags, steep in 12 oz of boiling water, then add 4 oz of oat milk. The healthy fats in the milk help your body absorb the curcumin more effectively.
Is it safe for a sensitive stomach?
The "fire" from the chili pepper is invigorating but may be too intense for those with extreme gastric sensitivity. We recommend a shorter steep (3 minutes) for your first cup to test your personal "heat" tolerance.
Can I drink this for Mental Health Month in March?
Yes! The synergy between the grounding Rooibos and the mood-resilient aromatics of the Silver Needle makes this a perfect ritual for Nervous System Regulation. It helps you stay "ignited" without feeling overstimulated.
