Tasting Notes
On a short infusion the elegant caramel and soft woody notes are lifted by gentle ginger warmth.
A longer, hotter extraction, will intensify the spice of the ginger and the rich earthiness of the Rooibos.

A beautiful blend of our Japanese Hojicha Roasted Green Tea from Uji and our Chinese Peony White Tea from the mountains of Fujian.
Tea has, of course, been used as a medicine for many thousands of years - rich in polyphenol antioxidants. These lovely leaves also offer gentle stimulation to aid concentration.
To boost the restorative effects we have added pure herbs; Rare Ginger from the foothills of the Himalayas and our Wild Rooibos from the UNESCO World heritage site in the Cedarberg Mountains of South Africa.
Rooibos has long been used as a natural hydrator as well as being rich in minerals including calcium, magnesium and potassium. Himalayan Ginger, from the entirely organic state of Sikkim, relieves nausea and has anti-inflammatory properties.
