Rooibos Lemon Cheesecake - Rooibos tea 100 grams - Café du Jour loose tea

No, Rooibos Lemon Cheesecake is registered as caffeine free in our product data. Rooibos does not come from the tea plant but from a shrub and is naturally free of caffeine. The other ingredients in this blend, lemongrass and marigold petals, do not provide any caffeine either. So you can drink this rooibos tea at any time of day, including in the evening.

The ingredient list of this blend is short: rooibos, lemongrass and marigold petals. The lemongrass provides the fresh citrus note and the marigold petals give the blend its colourful look in the cup. If you have an allergy or want to check the full and current list, always look at the label on the packaging you receive.

We recommend about 2 grams of loose leaf tea per cup, which is roughly a level teaspoon. You can safely pour boiling water over rooibos. Then let the blend steep for 5 to 7 minutes. Rooibos does not turn bitter quickly, so a longer steeping time is perfectly fine if you want a fuller flavour.

This package contains 100 grams of loose leaf rooibos tea. At the usual dosage of about 2 grams per cup, that works out at around 50 cups. If you prefer to make a whole pot or like your tea a bit stronger, you will of course get slightly fewer cups out of it.

Yes, this is loose leaf tea without bags, so you need a tea strainer, tea filter or filter bag. Preferably choose a roomy strainer or a filter in which the tea has space, because the rooibos and the lemongrass need to be able to expand in the water. You will find loose tea filters and tea strainers among our tea accessories.
