Ginger
Ginger is the knobby root, or rhizome, of a tropical plant first grown in Southeast Asia and now cultivated in India, China and beyond. In the cup it brings a lively, peppery heat with a bright, zesty, slightly citrusy aroma that warms from the first sip. Ginger is one of the stars of chai and pairs well with black tea, green tea, rooibos and herbal blends, often alongside lemon, cinnamon, turmeric and peach. It is great hot with honey or brewed strong and served iced.
Hibiscus tea is made from the deep red calyces of the roselle flower, a tropical plant grown in West Africa, Egypt, Mexico and Southeast Asia. It brews a bold, tart, cranberry-like cup with a fruity tang and a stunning ruby-red color. Hibiscus is the backbone of many fruit and herbal blends, pairing beautifully with rosehip, orange, berries, ginger and cinnamon, and it adds zing to rooibos and black tea. In Mexico, chilled hibiscus tea known as agua de jamaica is a summer favorite.
Honeybush is a shrub native to the coastal mountains of South Africa's Eastern and Western Cape, and a close cousin of rooibos. Like rooibos it is naturally caffeine-free, and its leaves and stems brew a naturally sweet, mellow cup with notes of honey, dried apricot and toasted grain. Honeybush is lovely on its own and blends well with rooibos, vanilla, citrus, caramel and fruit, and its name comes from the honey-scented yellow flowers. Enjoy it with milk or served iced.
Lemongrass is a tall tropical grass native to South and Southeast Asia, where its fragrant stalks are a staple of Thai and Vietnamese cooking. In tea it gives a bright, clean lemon aroma with gentle hints of ginger and a light, grassy sweetness. It pairs wonderfully with green tea, rooibos, ginger, mint, coconut and fruit blends, adding citrus freshness without any sourness. Lemongrass is excellent iced, and its sunny flavor stands up well to a long steep without turning bitter.
Rose petals come from fragrant garden roses, a flower prized for centuries in Persia, Bulgaria, Turkey and China. They add a sweet, romantic floral aroma with a soft, slightly fruity finish and pretty pink color in the cup. Rose is a classic partner for black tea, green tea and white tea, and it blends beautifully with vanilla, cardamom, berries and lavender in herbal mixes. A pinch of rose in Earl Grey or a creamy chai creates an elegant, perfumed cup.
Lemon verbena is a leafy shrub native to South America, brought to Europe by Spanish explorers and now grown widely around the Mediterranean. Its slender leaves have an intense, bright lemon aroma that is sweeter and more floral than lemon peel. Verbena is wonderful on its own, and it pairs well with green tea, white tea, mint, lemongrass and fruit blends. In France it is a classic after-dinner herbal tea called verveine, and it makes a refreshing iced tea too.

A little steeping tipHibiscus makes it tart and red. Lovely iced.
Why cold brewCold water draws out less bitterness, so the tea tastes smooth and naturally sweet.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
Think of these as a starting point. Every tea is a little experiment, so adjust the amount, temperature and time to your taste.
All in all a great tea, the colour is beautiful, if that’s important to you like it is to me. The flavours of the ingredients aren’t overpowering, (there’s no omg ginger) there is a light taste to it. One thing I found out is that the tartness of the hibiscus becomes stronger the longer you let it sit in your mug. Otherwise, it’s a great cup of tea!
