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

What is the alternative rooibos pack?

This fresh loose tea alternative rooibos pack is designed for anyone who wants to move beyond their everyday cup. It brings together four different rooibos-based blends in one package, giving you a chance to explore new flavour directions without committing to a single variety. Each blend takes the classic rooibos as its starting point and builds something a little different around it.

Rooibos is a well-known herbal tea with a mildly sweet, earthy character. It brews into a rich, reddish cup and pairs well with a wide range of added flavours. Loose-leaf rooibos lets you control the strength of your brew more easily than a standard tea bag, and the open leaf format allows the full flavour to develop in the water.

The four blends in this pack

• Sunrise Flower (100 g): rooibos with rose blossom, lavender, lime blossom, chamomile and cornflower – floral and gentle.
• Red Lemon (100 g): rooibos with lemongrass and lemon peel – bright and citrusy.
• Rosemary & Orange (100 g): rooibos with orange peel and rosemary – herbal with a warm citrus note.
• Lemon & Ginger (100 g): rooibos with ginger and lemongrass – fresh with a little spice.

With 400 g of loose-leaf rooibos in total, you have plenty to enjoy at your own pace and to work out which blend suits you best.

Who is it suitable for?

This pack suits anyone who drinks tea regularly and wants to try something beyond their usual choice. If you already enjoy rooibos and want to discover new flavour combinations, this variety pack gives you four options to explore. It also works well for anyone who is new to loose-leaf tea and wants a gentle introduction through a familiar base.

• Tea drinkers who enjoy rooibos and want to explore new blends
• Anyone looking for a herbal alternative to their daily cup
• People who prefer loose-leaf tea over tea bags
• Those who like to have a selection of different flavours at home
• Anyone who wants a multi-pack to share or gift

How do you use fresh loose rooibos tea?

Brewing fresh loose rooibos tea is straightforward. You need a tea infuser, a strainer, or a teapot with a built-in filter. Measure out the loose-leaf tea, add hot water, and let it steep for the time that suits your taste. Rooibos is forgiving: a longer steep gives a stronger, fuller cup without turning bitter.

Step-by-step brewing guide

1. Boil fresh water and let it cool for a moment, or use water just off the boil.
2. Place one heaped teaspoon of loose rooibos per cup into your infuser or strainer.
3. Pour the hot water over the leaves and leave to steep for five to seven minutes.
4. Remove the infuser or strain the leaves, then serve as it is or with a splash of milk.
5. Rooibos also tastes great served cold over ice for a refreshing alternative.

Each 100 g pouch gives you roughly 40 to 50 cups, so the full pack of 4 x 100 g provides around 160 to 200 cups in total. That is a generous supply for daily enjoyment across all four blends.
