What is a gourmet herbal infusion?
A gourmet herbal infusion is a caffeine-free drink inspired by the world of patisserie. Built on a base of rooibos, honeybush or gentle botanicals, it weaves together aromas of caramel, vanilla, chocolate, almond or shortbread, for a cup as comforting as a dessert. No caffeine, just pure pleasure: it's the perfect choice for those who love sweet flavours without the buzz, especially in the evening.
From caramel rooibos to herbal infusions inspired by tarte tatin, sponge cake or tiramisu, our gourmet herbal infusions are a treat for the whole family, young and old alike. Enjoy them as they are to let their natural sweetness shine, or with a splash of milk for something even more indulgent. Craving the taste of apple pie? Explore our apple and cinnamon herbal infusions too.
Why choose a gourmand herbal infusion?
Also known as a dessert tisane, it brings together the best of both worlds: the indulgence of a sweet treat and the lightness of a caffeine-free drink. Rooibos, a naturally smooth, caffeine-free plant from South Africa, forms the perfect backdrop for these sweet blends. That means you can enjoy a cup at any time of day, even late in the evening, without worrying about sleep. It also makes a lovely alternative to an afternoon snack for children, or a guilt-free dessert for anyone watching their waistline.
How to brew a gourmand herbal infusion?
It could not be simpler: bring the water to a gentle simmer, around 90 to 95 degrees, and steep for five to seven minutes. Unlike tea, Rooibos and botanicals never turn bitter, even with a longer steep. Enjoy it as it is, or add a splash of milk and a touch of honey for a warming, dessert-style drink. Served over ice, these infusions also make wonderfully refreshing summer sips.
