Perhaps
this link will help, if you're puzzled why anarchists in particular like Rooibos (& other herbals, come to that).
But if you don't get the joke at all, I'll be explicit:
Spoiler:
"Proper Tea is Theft" is a pun on "Property is Theft", a phrase coined by French anarchist Pierre-Joseph Proudhon in the mid 1800s. Obviously, since even anarchists disapprove of theft, they would only drink herbal infusions, like Rooibos, not true (proper) tea made from
Camellia sinensis, the tea plant.
In SPOILER tags because, of course, explaining a joke certainly spoils it!
