Red Lemon - Rooibos tea 100 g - Café du Jour loose tea

Red Lemon is our own Café du Jour rooibos tea: a soft, naturally sweet rooibos base lifted with lemongrass and lemon peel. The citrus does the talking in the first sip, then settles back into the warm, woody rooibos character. It pours a deep red-brown and stays clear, with none of the astringency a strong black tea leaves behind.

Rooibos is not a tea plant but a shrub, which is why Red Lemon is naturally free of caffeine rather than decaffeinated. That makes it a straightforward choice in the evening, or for anyone cutting back who still wants something with flavour in the cup. As a herbal tea it is one of the more approachable ones: fruity and mild, with no bitter edge to manage.

Brewing

Use it as loose tea in a pot, a basket infuser or a strainer. Rooibos takes water straight off the boil, and unlike black or green tea it will not turn bitter if you leave it in longer, so steep it until the strength suits you. It also holds its flavour when iced.
