Our ginger lemon infusions and teas
The spice brings warmth and bite, the fruit brings brightness. Depending on the base you choose, the flavour is smooth and rounded, full-bodied or herbaceous: here is how to find your way around.
Ginger lemon Rooibos: caffeine-free, morning to night
The organic Ginger Lemon Rooibos blends the woody roundness of rooibos with the warmth of ginger and a lively lemon zest. Naturally caffeine-free, it can be enjoyed at any hour, hot or iced. This is our most approachable introduction to this classic pairing.
Ginger lemon herbal infusions: loose-leaf botanicals
The organic Ginger herbal infusion combines ginger root with lemongrass and verbena for a zingy, citrusy cup. The organic Lune Magique herbal infusion brings together ginger, lemon and verbena in a cup that is both tangy and gentle. For something more botanical, the organic Detox Menthe herbal infusion weaves twelve plants around mint, lemongrass, ginger and turmeric. If you prefer to craft your own blend, our organic ginger pieces can be steeped on their own or with a slice of fresh lemon.
Ginger and lemon teas, for those who love caffeine
The organic Ginger Lemon black tea sets the duo against a full-bodied Assam: the morning cup, par excellence. The organic Yangtze green tea is lighter, a Sencha lifted with lemon, ginger and lemongrass. The organic Ginger Lemon white tea, built on a base of Pai Mu Tan and Chun Mee, offers the most delicate and silky version of all. More citrus options await in our lemon teas.
The gift set, for tasting them all
The Detox Gift Set brings together five bright blends built around lemon, ginger and mint, in 100 g pouches: three green teas for the day and two herbal infusions, including one for the evening. A lovely gift idea, or a great way to find your favourite.
How to choose your ginger lemon herbal infusion?
Caffeinated or caffeine-free?
Rooibos, herbal infusions, and whole ginger pieces contain no caffeine: they can be enjoyed at any time of day, including after dinner. Black, green, and white teas do contain caffeine: save those for the morning or afternoon.
Spicy, tangy, or smooth?
For a boldly spicy cup, go for the Ginger herbal infusion or whole ginger pieces on their own. For a brighter, more citrusy note, try the Yangtze green tea or the Magic Moon herbal infusion. For something rounder and more enveloping, the Ginger Lemon rooibos. And for real character, the Ginger Lemon black tea.
Looking for an organic option?
Yes: the rooibos, herbal infusions, whole ginger pieces, and all three teas in this selection are organically grown. Each product page lists its certification status and full ingredient details. All are sold loose-leaf, with real pieces of ginger and lemon peel visible in the bag, just like our apple cinnamon herbal infusions, autumn's other great pairing.
How to prepare it?
Dosage, temperature and steeping time
For a rooibos, an herbal infusion or ginger pieces, use two teaspoons per large cup, around 15 to 20 g per litre. Pour boiling water, or water just off the boil, and steep for 7 to 10 minutes covered: the dried rhizome needs time to release its full warmth and spice. For a black tea, 3 to 4 minutes at 90 °C is enough. For a green or white tea, the water should be cooler, around 75 to 80 °C, with a shorter steep of 2 to 3 minutes.
Homemade ginger lemon infusion: an easy recipe
Ingredients for half a litre: a small piece of fresh ginger, one lemon, a tablespoon of honey if you like it on the sweeter side. Peel the rhizome, or simply scrub it, then slice it thinly, or grate it for a more intense kick. In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil, add the fresh ginger slices and let it simmer for five minutes. Off the heat, squeeze in the lemon juice, stir in the honey for a gentle honey infusion, and leave to rest for two minutes before serving, with a lemon slice in the glass. For a more aromatic ginger lemon drink, add a spoonful of your loose-leaf blend to the hot water and steep for five more minutes. With our dried ginger pieces, the method is the same: the result is slightly softer and more rounded. Kitchen tip: make a large batch, it keeps for two days in the fridge.
Hot or iced?
Hot, it is the drink for cool mornings and quiet evenings, in a honey lemon version. Iced, it becomes a sugar-free ginger lemonade: brew the infusion at double strength, let it cool, then pour over ice with a slice of lemon, a few cucumber rounds and a handful of mint leaves.
Frequently asked questions about ginger lemon herbal infusion
What is a ginger lemon herbal infusion?
It's a hot drink made with ginger and lemon: the rhizome, either fresh or dried, combined with citrus juice, peel, or zest. As a loose-leaf blend, this pairing can be built on a base of Rooibos, herbs, or tea leaves, making it a herbal infusion, a Rooibos, or a ginger lemon tea.
Does it contain caffeine?
No, when it's based on Rooibos, herbs, or ginger alone. Yes, when it's made with black, green, or white tea: the base of each blend is listed on its product page.
What are its benefits?
We sell it first and foremost for its flavour, bright and warming, and we make no medicinal claims about it. To learn more about this root, its traditional uses, and any precautions worth knowing, visit our page on ginger infusion and our page on lemon herbal infusion.
Can it be enjoyed in the evening?
Yes, if it's based on Rooibos, herbs, or ginger alone: it contains no caffeine. Save the tea-based versions for daytime.
Fresh ginger or dried ginger?
Fresh ginger gives a sharper, more citrusy cup; dried ginger pieces produce a softer, woodier brew, with the added benefit of keeping well for several months. Both pair beautifully with lemon.
How should it be stored?
In an airtight tea caddy, away from light, heat, and moisture: the ginger and lemon peel will hold their fragrance for several months.
