Lemon & Ginger Rooibos Tea, loose, 100 g

Rooibos tea with lemongrass and ginger

Lemon & Ginger is a rooibos tea with two things added and nothing else: lemongrass for the citrus and ginger for the warmth. The rooibos does the heavy lifting. It is naturally sweet, soft and a little earthy, which is why it carries added flavours so well. The lemongrass sits on top, fresh and lemony rather than sharp, and the ginger arrives at the end as a mild heat that is more noticeable as the cup cools. Despite the name there is no lemon in the pack; the citrus is all lemongrass.

Rooibos is not a tea leaf at all but a South African shrub, so this is a caffeine-free herbal tea rather than a true tea, and late in the evening is as good a time for it as any.

Brewing it

This is loose-leaf tea, so the strength is yours to set: a heaped teaspoon per cup, water straight off the boil, five to seven minutes in an infuser, a strainer or a teapot. Rooibos holds very little tannin, so a longer steep makes the cup stronger without making it bitter, which is useful if you get distracted. Brewed strong, cooled and poured over ice it also works as an iced tea, and the ginger stays clear when it is cold.
