Thai Lemon Ginger Rooibos
Thai Lemon Ginger Rooibos is a delightful blend inspired by the rich traditions and philosophies of Thailand. The people of this vibrant country have a deep understanding of balance and harmony, which, in turn, is reflected in their culture as well as their cuisine. Central to this philosophy are the Three Noble Disciplines of Theravada Buddhism: Discipline, Training of the Mind, and Wisdom. These principles guide everyday life in Thailand, influencing everything from meditation to meals.
Moreover, Thai cuisine embodies balance by featuring five fundamental flavours: hot and spicy, sour, sweet, salty, and, optionally, bitter. For a dish to be considered perfect, all these flavours must harmonize beautifully. Therefore, in creating Thai Lemon Ginger Rooibos, we have embraced this culinary philosophy to deliver a truly balanced tea experience.
This blend starts with mellow Rooibos, which acts as a soothing base. Additionally, the addition of ginger introduces a spicy kick, while tart lemongrass provides a refreshing sour note. Furthermore, dried pineapple contributes a touch of sweetness, ensuring a delightful flavor profile without any bitterness. As a result, each sip of this tea is designed to promote relaxation and tranquillity, making it perfect for moments of reflection.

HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 3-7 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Add milk & sugar to taste. Ideal Brewing Temperature: 100ºC/212ºF.
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 6 slightly heaping teaspoons of loose rooibos into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the rooibos. Steep for 5 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the brewed rooibos into your serving pitcher, straining the rooibos or removing the bags. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced rooibos is to increase the strength of the hot rooibos brew since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.
(Individual Serving): Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose rooibos into a teapot for each serving required. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 6-7oz/170-200ml per serving over the rooibos. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes. Add hot rooibos herbal tea to a 12oz/375ml acrylic glass filled with ice, straining the rooibos or removing the bags. Not all of the tea will fit, allowing for approximately an additional ½ serving. Sweeten and/or add lemon to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced rooibos is to increase the strength of hot rooibos since it will be poured over ice and diluted.
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today’s water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
