Organic Ginger Lemon Rooibos

Our ginger lemon Rooibos is one of our most versatile blends: a base of organic Rooibos, naturally caffeine-free, lifted by lemongrass (14%), ginger (11%) and a natural lemon flavour. The cup is clear and amber-hued, gently invigorating without disturbing your sleep.

This herbal infusion is as much for lovers of bright, lively flavours as for those looking for a caffeine-free alternative to classic tea. Explore our red tea selection to delve further into this singular family, naturally gentle and caffeine-free.

The flavour profile of ginger lemon Rooibos

Open the pouch and fresh ginger comes forward immediately, supported by herbaceous lemongrass and a burst of citrus. The Rooibos base stays quietly in the background, yet gives the blend its structure: that rounded, lightly woody warmth with a hint of vanilla, characteristic of organic red tea.

In the cup, the balance unfolds. The top notes are frankly lemony, almost effervescent. Through the mid-palate, the ginger releases its gentle heat, never sharp. The finish is long and smooth, with a refreshing, almost mentholated quality from the lemongrass.

This is a blend that lends itself to a thousand occasions: plain, iced in summer, or with a drizzle of honey on a winter evening.

How to brew ginger lemon Rooibos

Preparation is straightforward, but a few small details make all the difference. Use 15 to 20 g of loose-leaf per litre of water, roughly a heaped tablespoon per 250 ml cup. This generous measure lets the ginger and lemongrass aromas express themselves fully.

Bring the water to a full boil, 100°C. Unlike green or white teas, Rooibos handles boiling water beautifully, and in fact needs it to unlock its aromatic compounds. Filtered, low-mineral water will bring out the delicacy of the lemon more clearly.

Steep for 7 to 10 minutes to taste. A shorter brew gives a bright, citrus-forward cup; a longer steep deepens the ginger warmth and the rounded sweetness of the Rooibos. There is no risk of bitterness: that is one of the great pleasures of this family, and makes it remarkably easy to get right.

For a summer version, let it cool then serve over ice with a slice of fresh lemon. The rooibos latte method works beautifully with this blend too: a splash of plant-based milk, a touch of honey, and the cup becomes something truly indulgent.

Benefits of ginger lemon Rooibos

This infusion brings together three ingredients with traditionally recognised properties. Rooibos is naturally rich in polyphenols and antioxidants, as noted by ANSES in its research on plant-based beverages. Caffeine-free by nature, it suits the whole family from morning to night.

Ginger has long been used in traditional practice to support digestion and bring a warming, toning sensation. Its use is documented by the EFSA as part of its assessments on food plants. Lemongrass rounds out this synergy with its fresh, calming notes.

Julien Huot, founder of Thés & Traditions, personally selects each batch to ensure consistent quality. Try our ginger lemon Rooibos as part of your daily ritual, warm in the morning or iced in the afternoon.

Storage

Store your Rooibos in an airtight caddy, away from light, moisture and strong odours. Under these conditions, the blend retains its aroma for 18 to 24 months. Packed in our workshop, it keeps the full brightness of the lemon and ginger intact.
