Organic ginger rooibos: a red tea with an exotic twist
What makes this caffeine-free drink so distinctive, with its deep red or dark orange colour, is its warm fruity taste and delicate spiced edge. This natural product is crafted from South African rooibos, a plant traditionally valued for its antioxidant properties (sources: EMA herbal monograph - Aspalathus linearis). This cranberry and ginger rooibos also contains cornflower and lemongrass, plants traditionally recognised for their soothing and digestive qualities (sources: EMA herbal monograph - Centaurea cyanus, Cymbopogon citratus). The result is a delightful infusion with natural notes reminiscent of honey and lemon, much like our Frosted Lemon Rooibos, which shares these characteristic aromas.

How to prepare organic ginger rooibos
To bring out the full flavour of your organic cranberry ginger rooibos, follow our brewing tips. Your infusion is ready to enjoy after 7 minutes (for a lighter cup) to 10 minutes (for a richer, bolder brew).
How much organic ginger rooibos should I use?
For a subtly aromatic infusion, fill your infuser with 15 to 20 grams of loose-leaf rooibos per litre of water, or around 3 to 4 grams per cup.
What is the ideal brewing temperature for organic ginger rooibos?
To preserve its warm fruity and spiced character over time, store your rooibos in an airtight tin or resealable Doypack pouch, available in our accessories selection. Organic cranberry ginger rooibos stays fresh and reveals its unique flavour when brewed with water at 100 °C.
When should I drink organic ginger rooibos?
Organic cranberry ginger rooibos can be enjoyed hot or cold at any time of day. A wonderful alternative to morning coffee, it can also replace your evening herbal infusions since it contains no caffeine. It makes a perfect drink for the festive season, and works beautifully in summer iced teas too. Try it with a slice of lemon or orange for an extra touch.
Why choose loose-leaf organic ginger rooibos?
Our organic cranberry ginger rooibos is available loose-leaf in a resealable 100 g Doypack pouch.
