Café du Jour fresh loose tea - Alternative Rooibos - 4 x 100 g

Four rooibos blends, 4 x 100 g

Rooibos on its own is mild, slightly sweet and earthy, and it brews a deep red cup that carries added flavours well. This set builds four blends on that base, 100 g of each, so you can find out which direction suits you before committing to a full bag of one.

• Sunrise Flower — rooibos with rose blossom, lavender, lime blossom, chamomile and cornflower: floral and gentle.
• Red Lemon — rooibos with lemongrass and lemon peel: bright and citrusy.
• Rosemary & Orange — rooibos with orange peel and rosemary: herbal, with a warm citrus note.
• Lemon & Ginger — rooibos with ginger and lemongrass: fresh, with a little spice.

Brewing

Use about 2 g of leaf per cup, roughly a heaped teaspoon, in an infuser, tea filter or strainer, and steep it for five to seven minutes in water at around 95 °C. Rooibos is forgiving: leave it longer and you get a stronger cup rather than a bitter one. At that dose a 100 g pouch is around fifty cups. For iced tea, brew it stronger than usual, let it cool and pour it over ice.
