The flavor profile of iced lemon orange Rooibos
The moment you open the bag, the orange peel (6%) and lemongrass release a bright, uplifting scent. Cornflower petals add a delicate splash of color, a visual signature of this organic blend.
Top notes: lively citrus, lemon, sweet orange, sparkling grapefruit.
Heart notes: fresh lemongrass, fragrant bergamot, sun-warmed peel.
Base notes: the gentle woodiness of red rooibos, the grassy freshness of green rooibos.
The combination of red and green rooibos creates a layered base: the red brings its natural honeyed softness, while the green adds a lighter, more vegetal character. A rare balance in a flavored blend, distinct from classic tea yet with a personality all its own.
How to prepare iced lemon orange Rooibos
As a hot infusion: bring water to 212°F (100°C), use 12 to 15 g per liter (about one heaped tablespoon per cup) and steep for 7 to 10 minutes. Rooibos never turns bitter with a long steep, so there is no need to watch the clock.
As a cold brew: place 15 g of the blend in 1 liter of cold water and leave to infuse overnight in the refrigerator (8 to 12 hours). Strain, then add a few slices of fresh lemon or orange, ice cubes, and a sprig of mint. This is the best method for letting the citrus notes shine without dilution.
As a quick iced infusion: brew a strong hot infusion (20 g/L, 8 minutes), strain, then pour over a tall glass of ice. Serve immediately. Take a look at our iced rooibos recipe guide for a delicious twist, perfect for sharing at a summer brunch.
A caffeine-free drink, any time of day
Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis) is not a tea in the botanical sense: it is a plant entirely distinct from Camellia sinensis. Naturally caffeine-free, this infusion is suitable for the whole family, from morning to evening. To learn more, visit our guide Everything You Need to Know About Rooibos and our article on the origins of rooibos.
Research referenced on PubMed highlights the presence of antioxidant compounds such as aspalathin, a compound unique to rooibos. ANSES notes that varied daily hydration supports overall well-being, and this infusion fits naturally into that routine. Julien Huot, founder of Thés & Traditions, personally selects every organic blend in the collection.
Storing your Rooibos
Keep your blend in an airtight, opaque tin, away from light, moisture, and strong odors. Packaged in our workshop, it retains its aromatic freshness for 18 to 24 months. Always use a dry spoon when measuring to preserve every citrus note.
Frequently asked questions
How do I prepare lemon orange rooibos?
Use 12 to 15 g per liter, water at 212°F (100°C), steeped for 7 to 10 minutes. For an iced version, try an overnight cold brew in the refrigerator, or pour a concentrated hot infusion straight over ice. Strain and finish with a slice of fresh citrus.
What are the benefits of rooibos?
Rooibos is traditionally valued for its antioxidant compounds, including aspalathin, as documented by EFSA. Caffeine-free, it contributes to pleasant daily hydration, even in the evening.
What is the difference between green and red rooibos?
Red rooibos is oxidized after harvesting, which develops its characteristic honeyed, woody notes. Green rooibos is not oxidized: it retains a lighter color and a more vegetal, grassy profile. Our blend combines both for a rare, well-rounded balance.
How should I store rooibos?
Keep it in an airtight, opaque tin at room temperature, away from light, moisture, and strong odors. Properly stored, it will keep its citrus aromas for 18 to 24 months.
