Organic Ginger Lemon Rooibos: invigorating energy, caffeine-free
Our organic Ginger Lemon Rooibos is your everyday tonic companion, without a trace of caffeine. Blended from South African red rooibos, lemongrass (14%), ginger root pieces (11%) and natural lemon flavouring, it brews into a vivid, zesty and warming infusion. Perfect for energising your morning, easing digestion after a meal, or lifting a late afternoon slump without reaching for coffee or caffeinated tea.
Ingredients: rooibos, ginger, lemongrass and lemon
A clean, balanced blend: natural rooibos, lemongrass (14%), ginger (11%), natural lemon flavouring. All certified organic. With lemongrass and ginger together making up 25% of the blend, this is a particularly lively and aromatic infusion. Lemongrass brings a bright, herbal freshness; ginger adds its characteristic warmth and spice; and the natural lemon flavouring rounds everything off with a pleasing tang.
How it compares to our other lemon and ginger rooibos blends

The benefits of ginger lemon rooibos
This blend brings together the virtues of several well-studied plants:
- Rooibos (Aspalathus linearis): rich in antioxidants (aspalathin, nothofagin), naturally caffeine-free (source: EMA herbal monograph Aspalathus linearis).
- Ginger (Zingiber officinale): traditionally recognised for supporting digestion, easing nausea and bolstering the immune system in winter (source: EMA herbal monograph Zingiberis rhizoma).
- Lemongrass: traditionally used for digestive comfort and its soothing properties.
- Lemon: a natural source of vitamin C in the flavouring.
Caffeine-free and theine-free, this infusion fits naturally into a healthy daily wellness routine, at any hour of the day.
Flavour profile: tonic, spiced, tangy
This infusion brews a beautiful amber colour with golden highlights. On the nose, lemongrass leads with its vivid herbal freshness, followed by the peppery warmth of ginger and a bright citrus tang. On the palate, ginger delivers a lively opening, giving way to the smooth roundness of rooibos, before a refreshing citrus finish. No bitterness, naturally thirst-quenching and energising, without any stimulants.
Brewing guide
How to prepare this infusion
Place in a teapot or tea infuser. Boiling water at 100°C. Rooibos and ginger handle intense heat beautifully, with no risk of bitterness.
How much to use
Use 15 to 20 grams per litre, or 4 to 5 g per standard cup.
Steeping time
Steep for 7 to 10 minutes to fully draw out the ginger's warmth, which needs a little time to fully open up.
When to enjoy it
Any time of day, and especially:
- In the morning to start the day with a natural lift (a great alternative to coffee)
- After meals to support digestion (ginger and lemongrass)
- In winter to support your immune defences (ginger and vitamin C)
- In summer as an iced infusion for a refreshing yet energising drink
